Damaris Egurrola believes that knowing the coach's methods will help OL Lyonnes build on the progress made in his first season. “Of course it helps a lot,” he explains.

I think we have a better understanding of what he expects from us than last season. It gives the team a lot of confidence."
OL Lyonnes started the domestic season with a bang, leading the Arkema Première Ligue table with nine points from three games. They have already scored 22 goals, including 7-1 wins over Fleury and Paris FC and 8-1 wins over Le Havre. These numbers highlight OL Lyonnes' offensive strength, with goals scored by nine different players. Egurrola emphasizes that this is one of the most promising aspects of the current season.
However, despite the impressive number of goals scored, OL Lyonnes did not avoid defensive problems, conceding one goal in each of the three league matches. “We want to keep a clean sheet in every match,” admits Egurrola. The Lyon team will start the group stage with a match against Servette, and then they will face Chelsea, Inter, Juventus, Arsenal and BK Häcken. Instead of looking too far ahead, Egurrola is focusing on each match individually, with their first challenge coming in Switzerland. “We are very excited about the Champions League,” says Egurrola. "We are ready for this first match. It is important to show everyone what we want, our desire, and I think we are ready for that." OL Lyonnes will start their Champions League campaign with a trip to Switzerland, where they will face Servette on Wednesday, September 23. The match starts at 17:45 (BST).
