On the eve of the game against the Olympique, Shirley Cruz gave us her impressions of the shock announced tomorrow against a team she knows well. Among the key words, exorcise the heavy defeats of last season and play the first final of the championship, between Paris and Lyon, the two teams still unbeaten this season.

"Lyon is a very good team, it's the best team in Europe at the moment and we are impatient to wait, wait, it's not easy but we are ready to face Lyon. "

A PSG, weaker on paper, but which seems closer to OL
"(...) The results are there, it is the results that speak now. we are very supportive [and] we know that tomorrow we must be even more supportive. I think we worked well, we're good at the moment, so we're waiting [more] than this match. "

On the memories of the games lost last year against Lyon
"What we have in our head is 7-0. It touched pride. (...) We what we want is to make respect the house and say "this is the past". Now it's another team, and we have another mentality. (...) So for tomorrow, we will have to show that we are there, that at the Camp des Loges, it's with us (...). "

Playing at Camp des Loges
"[The camp of the lodges] is a small home, the fans will come and be behind us and now it will be up to us and the OL to do a good show for [people] who will come tomorrow . "

Can Lyon be beaten this year?
"We are more aggressive. We have Patrice Lair who is a coach who will not want to defend. So we, in the head, we will have to beat them and to beat them, we will have to be aggressive from the beginning. "

Has Paris caught up with some of its backlog in Lyon?
"The most complicated thing in Paris is that every year the team changes. In Lyon, it does not change too much. (...) We, we put in the head, if we want to stay behind Lyon [in the same rhythm], tomorrow it will have to be very strong and more solidarity. So it's a good team and it's a game that [everyone] would like to play. We are very motivated. "

Is victory possible tomorrow?
"We are 11 against 11 with a ball. (...) We did our course so far, we are equal. And to continue what we are doing, we will have to go through Lyon. Already, we are lucky to have Lyon in our championship, it will be a good challenge for us and a good match to play. "

Does Paris have more confidence in its collective than last year?
"We made everything available to Patrice [Lair], he's the coach, he's the one who tells us how he wants to start the matches. We are all with him, and if now we are tied with Lyon and in difficult times we showed that we had the character and we had the level. "

On the role of Patrice Lair
"Yes, it's safe, it helped us a lot. It has changed a lot compared to what I had [known] in Lyon. And this year, we are motivated. We want to show that Paris Saint-Germain, he is still there and we want to win trophies. "

On having a lot of old teammates in the field
"That's the past. Now, those in Paris are in Paris, those in Lyon are in Lyon. So now, what we want is to win titles at Paris Saint-Germain. "
