Coach Guillaume Gilles reaction
“You have to remember how hard it was to play the opening match. Tonight, there were a lot of elements to turn this match into a trap match: a little pressure from the crowd, weird refereeing decisions…
All this did not allow us to develop our game, we showed a bit of nervousness and nervousness which makes sense when we know that opening matches are rarely perfect.
This victory is very satisfying because it puts us on the right track, it launches the blue train well. In defence, we have shown a lot of stability, conceding few goals in attack.
Even if Luca had a strong influence on our defensive performance, we were able to find solutions to hinder her, especially in the second half.

William Giles:
We tried to respect this Saudi team, and we tried to respect each other as well, and it was not easy in preparation, when you know the supposed difference in level between the two teams.
We were very serious, even if everything wasn’t perfect, the overall version is fine, and I think we more than did the job.
We respected some of our goals, like giving everyone playing time, resting some players and giving Charles his first international minutes, who was able to celebrate his first choice on the pitch.
May the ranks not swell in the infirmary. Unconsciously, this match was complicated to manage, players were probably afraid of getting injured, and they always tended to invest a little less.
It will probably be easier to dive into the game against Slovenia, which will be very important.”

William Giles:
“It’s a very good start to the World Championship, against opponents that aren’t easy to understand, with the exception of Saudi Arabia, who were a game apart. Those four points give us more possibilities, a little bit of safety.
But we know that we will be playing against very strong teams in the main role, which we must continue to work on. We know how scenarios can evolve very quickly with this form of competition.
Do these four points give us room for error? You keep your feet on the ground. Dika Mem had a cramp, which meant he couldn’t be available tonight, as we preferred to keep him, without taking a risk.
It is difficult to imagine when and how he will return, and suddenly at what date we will find him. In any case, we made up very well for the loss associated with his absence, thanks to a great game from Nadim, which was very impressive, but also to Quentin, who played an excellent game.

William Giles:
“We managed to put in all our playing time tonight, opening the bench as always. The first period didn’t allow us to separate, partly because of the quality of this Montenegrin team, but also because of certain phases on my side that didn’t allow us to validate our good performance.
We still have a good game to get into the main role in a good way. For newcomers, it is not easy to find the rhythm, sometimes there is a little tension, for them it is about finding the rhythm.
But tonight, we can take all positions, there is something to please. From now on, we will turn to Iran, an opponent who has suffered disappointments in recent days, and against whom we must obviously win.”
