Once again present at the Valais Cup this year with Olympique Lyonnais, Lucie Pingeon has agreed to answer our questions before the start of the tournament.

In warm-ups, OL scored hard against Shanghai (7-0) and Nimes (10-0). Do you have the pressure as title holder for the coming season?
We always have the pressure. We do not really know how the season will go but we take it pretty well. With a preparation course like this, we can only prepare well.

You played against Shanghai like Paris and Juvisy, who had a little more trouble winning. Do you show your supremacy somewhere by winning 7-0?
Always show every game that you are superior to the opponent. After, the score is respect the opponent and OL, you must never stop to score to respect.

The goal of this year? The championship, the Champions League, The Cup? The three ?
The goal of every year anyway when playing Olympique Lyonnais, is to try to triplet. Last year, we managed to make the double so this year, it is inevitably the Champions League which is one of the main objectives.

Do you think that this year the PSG can overtake the ogre Lyon in the league?
Exceed I do not know. After that it is sure that it remains a formidable opponent. They still eliminated us in the Champions League last year. It's always difficult to play against PSG.
