Gérard Prêcheur: 'It will be a very important game'

Coach, we have just had an important victory in the Coupe de France. We have a busy schedule and a lot of games to play, how do you approach the next one?

"It's true that it was important to qualify even if it was difficult. It's a good victory to strengthen the squad and the team spirit. We know that we have a very busy schedule in the next few days. The match against Reims will be very important, but that's the case for all the matches in the league. We have no room for error if we want to make it a championship final in May against Olympique Lyonnais. In the Coupe de France, we have a good opponent from D2. We have already seen their deserved victory against Olympique de Marseille. We will have to approach this opponent with a lot of commitment and professionalism if we want to be able to reach the final of the Coupe de France."

will these upcoming matches against reims and evian help prepare for the first leg of the uefa women's champions league quarter final against wolfsburg?

"Absolutely. Even if they are different opponents, we can already integrate Wolfsburg's preparation in certain aspects during these next two games against Reims and Evian. However, I won't deny that for this Sunday's match, our thoughts and tactical orientations will be fully focused on our opponents, Stade de Reims."
