It was probably the first real challenge of Reynald Pedros at the head of OL. His players, who faced Patrice Lair's PSG on Monday night, confirm their leading position with their 1-0 victory. His reaction mixed but satisfied too.


The summary of the meeting: Short victory of Lyon who takes a first step towards the title


RTL - You continue your winning streak.
Yes it was the goal. We were expecting a tough game, we got it but I think they can equalize and at the same time we can lead 2-0 after 5 minutes. What is important is that we have made the necessary efforts to preserve this goal in advance. It will be quiet, but it's a great team, it prepares us for the Champions League so it's good.


RTL - Looking at the ranking, everyone will say that Lyon is Champion of France today?
No, I repeat what I said before, it was the last match of the first leg and there are still the return matches. We have a game before the holidays against Guingamp, which we will have to take with a lot of serious. And it will be necessary to continue in our objectives to remain undefeated simply.


RTL - When we know the hierarchy of clubs in France, we still think that there is a huge step that has been made?
Yes but you would have imagined the PSG draw against Soyaux? We do not, them either. Here we must remain humble, we must work, we must appreciate what we do but we must get back to work. We leave tomorrow in recovery, and then we play Sunday so yes I am happy today to have 5 points of advance on the PSG but it is not an end in itself. We must continue to progress, we must continue to work to be a champion simply.


Hearts of Foot - You had the control of the match but you feel a little disappointed anyway ... (he cuts me)
I am not sure that I had complete control of the match. I think we had a good first half, after we missed a lot of things technically, we lacked control in the game especially in the middle where we rushed a lot, where we got a lot too hasty.


"They had a good team aligned."


But in the face Paris had aligned a beautiful defense, because defensively it was solid.
They had lined up a nice team. When they changed in the middle at halftime (entry of Geyoro and Diallo instead of Hermoso and Cruz), they found themselves with two backgrounds still quality. We know that this is a team that goes through the heart of the game and sometimes we were in trouble because we lacked control. Once again we rushed on our first ball instead of playing a safe ball. We very often wanted to go quickly forward when it was not the game. Now it's good to correct some things, we'll do it. But it was a good match tonight.


Soccer Hearts - In the efforts also you were clearly above all the same?
I do not know if we were clearly above, in any case we made a lot of effort, a lot of effort. The girls at the end of the match were rinsed (laughs). But here we must apprehend this kind of match, we must also apprehend the terrain that is much larger. Playing here is a distinctly different atmosphere. We had a long week to prepare it so it does not have a bit too much. There is all that to take into account but the girls were top.


Football Hearts - Is pressing also a strong character of Lyon?
We always try, yes, to go forward, to try to make mistakes to the opponent. Sometimes it does not work, tonight there are times when it did not work but we are still satisfied with the result and the match.
