Camille Crousillat
– Camille, you still have a chance for the fourth place and the play-offs.
– We have a good chance even though we lost some points. This would be a great reward after all the work. I think we deserve it.
– It would also mean you would play in Europe.
– This would be the first time for the club and the first time for me personally. The team wants to play in Europe.
– This is a scenario that you would never have imagined at the beginning of the season after losing four initial games.
– We faced injuries and a lack of preparation at the beginning of the season. We knew we were late, we started our preparation in the first five games. We had a difficult season because of it.
– What allowed you come back?
– When the team is united and plays together, there is euphoria on the ground that makes you play better. Some players are more physical, others are there to play from behind. Our strong point is our state of mind.
– This match against Paris is the most important for the Top 4.
– Yes, it is very important this game can put us in a much more comfortable situation. But the Parisians also want this victory, they are launched with quite a number of consecutive wins (eight ed.) I hope we will get to turn this pressure into something positive.
– No need to ask if you feel the pressure.
– I think we feel the pressure on game day. Compared to other games, we began to prepare for the match against Paris early. There will probably be a knot in my stomach before entering the field on Saturday.
– Are you personally satisfied with your individual performance this season?
– This is a team sport so when we win, we can not say that we are not satisfied. I will not say individually, this is the best season I’ve made. For the moment, this is the best result Venelles never had. I play all games with girls and a great coach who helps us and drives us to excel each time, so I can be satisfied.
