After spending five months at Olympique Lyonnais, Alex Morgan returned to Orlando as she announced last week. From her first match at Guingamp she proved to be an important part of the Lyon offensive trio, alongside Ada Hegerberg and Eugénie Le Sommer. Coming to Lyon to win the hat-trick (Championship / Cup / Champions League) the US international won its bet, scoring 12 goals in 15 games played. Unfortunately an injury in Cardiff has deprived the field since, but it should resume this way with the Pride in three to four weeks.



"I came here [to Lyon] with a vision in mind, but I was not sure how real it would be, but as the season progressed, I felt more and more happy. to the test, and filled and with that the group helped me in my journey and make the transition, adapt to this new style of play. "


"[...] that's the third tendon injury, I'm sure they'll want [the US national team] take a little more time this time, but I'm going to be return to Orlando shortly, and in any case I will take the path of recovery. "


"I'm torn between two directions to take"


Are you going back to Lyon next season?

"I do not know, I've tried to answer this question multiple times and now I'm torn between two directions, I love this experience, this challenge and I love the opportunity to play the Champions League and win the hat-trick, it's just unbelievable. "


"There is always that desire for a little more here, but at the same time, I'm ready to go home, I miss my home, I miss Orlando, and I'm just excited to continue the season with Pride."


Have you followed Orlando Pride matches?

"I watched as many games as I could, with the jet lag it's extremely complicated, but at least the Pride matches (...) I tried to watch them. It was nice to watch, but I think the Pride did not have the start of the season so he hoped so I hope that when I get over my injury I can help them for the future. "
