Echouafni: 'We are ambitious'

Paris Saint-Germain coach Olivier Echouafni looks ahead to the opening match o the Women's D1 season away to Fleury, this Saturday 25 August at 14:30 CET at the Stade Auguste Gentelet.

Coach, how is the squad feeling on the eve of the first game of the season?
"We are feeling really good! We're happy to be back in Paris after a very long preseason and seven friendly matches. But that gave me the chance to get to know the squad better and the girls' personalities."

Are you ready for the opening game?
"We can't wait to start the league campaign, but there's also that little excitement and a few nerves because in the opening games, everyone starts on zero points and everyone wants to make a good start."

Is starting with a win imperative?
"Whether we're playing Fleury or another team, the aim is to win. We play every match to win, whether it's in the league, the cup of the Champions League. We are an ambitious side and we have to show that."
