Intro:

Olympique Lyon look ahead to their French Ligue One match with Saint-Etienne on Sunday (19th April).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (French) Hubert Fournier, coach Olympic Lyon:

"I don't know for the second place, but for the third place, Saint Etienne is a direct competitor and if we win we would put them in a bad position for the end of the championship. I speak about Saint Etienne. They can pretend to be on the podium. There are still 18 points to take, and it is still possible for Saint Etienne to be on the podium. I think they think about it somewhere in their head."

SOUNDBITE (French) Hubert Fournier, coach Olympic Lyon (about how to get around the 5 men defence of Saint-Etienne):

"It will be necessary to get around them, because we have an important physical disadvantage compared to this team of Saint-Etienne. They are very powerful due to their size and they can dominate challenges. At some moments we will not have the opportunity to get around them, we'll have to absorb their strength."

SOUNDBITE (French) Hubert Fournier, coach Olympic Lyon (about PSG defeat against Barcelona):

"They have resources in the team and they have players in the team with international experience so I think they will have the capacity to win the matches."

SOUNDBITE (French) Hubert Fournier, coach Olympic Lyon (Q: if OL wins, the second place will be safe?):

"No, no. Mathematically speaking certainly not and also we have a team like Monaco on our heels. They have shown enormous quality and is in very strong shape at the end of the season. The match they delivered against Juve(ntus) shows they are a solid team and one will have to watch them for the end of the season."
