Step by step
The French international is well aware that this Coupe de France is a priority objective, even if the road to the Stade de France is still long. “We know that if we win the Coupe de France, we will go to the European Cup. But first you have to win this game, and go step by step. Physically, it’s complicated but it’s fun”added the OL striker.
Progress in the game to be confirmed
Lacazette then gave his feelings on the evolution of the team in recent weeks. “It’s better. There were games where we didn’t concede a goal and we had control of the game. Against Troyes, we scored and we had possession. Efficiency in the opposing area made the difference to win”underlined the Lyon striker before discussing his personal statistics. “I would have preferred us to be higher in the standings. This season, it’s complicated but I know that my goals are important for the team. I hoped to be efficient on my return and that we would be better in the standings. We will fight until the end”.
