On the eve of the clash between Marseille and Lyon in D1 Feminine, we asked some questions to Amandine Soulard before the meeting on Saturday.

How is your integration into the OM squad this season?

Amandine Soulard: Well it's okay, after I already knew some girls so it arranged things. After that it's a welcoming group too, so everything is going well.

Did not the match against PSG harm you for the rest (1-0 defeat)? Could you be praised in the wrong way, with the results that followed?

Amandine Soulard: No, after we will say that the match against the PSG it can be a reference, on the contrary, we proved that we could play together, defend together, have a team spirit, to be united with each other towards others. After it is true that against Soyaux, we got a little more moving in the second half.

No, I do not think it hurt us, on the contrary, it showed us that we could have a group and be able to do something against big cars.

Marseille compared to other promoted, is between two, it seems that somewhere your club could be a little more ambitious this season. There with the latest results (against the MHSC and Soyaux) it calls into question a little ambitions. Does it change something for you?

Amandine Soulard: The starting point was the maintenance, after that it was on that people got a little inflamed. Finally, we are a highly anticipated team. After little by little the mayonnaise will take and then that's what. But it is true that everyone saw us higher, but we must not forget that there are girls who have not yet played in D1, the coach also discovers the D1. So here I think it will come little by little, but yes there is a little time of adaptation.

Olympique Lyonnais, your next opponent, is a team that you know well, because you started there. What do you expect from this match, because often the teams playing against Lyon, the idea is to take as little as possible?

Amandine Soulard: Well it's a bit like the other teams, we will try to hold as long as possible. After we also have ambitions, we will not let it go on it for sure. We know very well that Lyon is the best team in Europe, that it will be very complicated. We will have to hang on and we all pull in the same direction and here too we will discover a little mentally. Then if there's something to do, if there's a draw to win, we will do everything for, but we know very well that Lyon is above. We do not go "beaten" either, but I think we're going like all the other teams, we will fight and we will try to get something.
