How did the new signings perform?
Four new players were handed starting debuts by Sandrine Soubeyrand. Manoly Baquerizo, Hillary Diaz, Évelyne Viens, and Mariam Toloba all made their official bows for the Parisian club. Baquerizo even scored her first league goal for the team, an achievement praised by her manager. "For a first match, I think it's pretty good," Soubeyrand said of the young player.
The coach was pleased with the quartet's contribution. She did stress that adjustments are needed, particularly in the attacking connections between players. The team needs to gain more precision and density to be fully effective. The senior squad roster is available on our squad page.
What is the manager's take on the attacking partnership?
The strike partnership between Mariam Toloba and Évelyne Viens showed promising signs according to Sandrine Soubeyrand. The duo created scoring opportunities, even if the finishing sometimes lacked accuracy. The technician acknowledges that building a coherent attacking system takes time, much more than setting up a defensive block.
She sees interesting potential in this partnership to renew Paris FC's forward line. The goal is clear: to bring more threat and variety against the league's strongest defences. The intent is there, the execution must now follow.
What are the challenges for the rest of the season?
Paris FC's schedule will be busy in the coming weeks. After this good start, the team must confirm and string together performances. Physical condition is a point of attention mentioned by Soubeyrand, who believes the team can still improve in this area.
The technical staff will therefore work on fine-tuning the automatisms, especially between the new arrivals and the more experienced members of the group. The balance between defensive solidity and offensive efficiency remains the key to aiming for European places. The next fixture for Paris FC is a home match scheduled for this weekend.
