The life of a journalist is littered with questions to which we already know the answer but which we are obliged to ask. An Italian colleague took advantage of the conference the day before the Coupe de la Ligue final between OL and PSG to ask Rudi Garcia if his team had the lead in their knockout round of the Champions League against Juve, in eight days.
Another tried to turn the thing more subtly, asking the Lyon coach if there was a hierarchy between the two meetings. But the person concerned, initially teasing ("you got the wrong press conference, it's the League Cup") does not flinch: "the hierarchy is that first we think of PSG and after the second game. ".
Paris, not a match to prepare Juve
Léo Dubois, sitting to the right of the father, does not want him to hear about the upcoming match against Paris as a "preparation" for the Champions League. “Tomorrow's game can help us win the trophy. The preparation matches are over. The first step is this Coupe de la Ligue and we have to be motivated. The club is waiting for that, and we can go for the European Cup next year. This is the fastest way to get it. "
Easy to say, less to do, but Rudi Garcia does not start fatalistic: “we know that we will be outsiders in this final. But we also know that we have a very high level team. We absolutely have to take a bite out of this opportunity and bring the trophy back to Lyon tomorrow, that's what drives us. "
