Emma Holmgren got the chance between the posts in Sunday's league match away against Soyaux.
A match Lyon won with a clear 6-1.
In normal cases, Christiane Endler is given between the posts, but today she was sent to the bench - and Holmgren found out this morning that she would make her debut in a competition context.
- It has gone well in training lately and it is a tough game schedule that awaits, so it is fun to get the confidence, she says.
"Everything goes faster"
However, Holmgren conceded a goal after just six minutes.
Something she is not completely happy with.
- It is of course very boring to concede a goal, especially when you win so big.
It's partly a bit on the outfield players but I probably could have gotten out on that ball better.
Apart from that mistake, it felt good during the match, she says.
Are there more starts to expect in the near future?
- It is clear that I hope so.
Letting in a goal in a match like this is not fun, but I hope they continue to see in training who I am and what I have to give.
Holmgren was ready for Lyon in August after half a season in damallsvenska Eskilstuna.
And the 24-year-old notices that everyday football looks different nowadays.
- Everything goes so much faster and it is more technical.
Above all, players are smarter and faster.
There is quite a big difference, she says.
Correct choice
Do you feel that you have developed more since you came to Lyon?
- If you play and train with better players, the development comes.
It is clear that you feel that you are developing.
A little more than two months into the foreign adventure, Holmgren - who has had the chance in some of Peter Gerhardsson's national team troops - feels that she has made the right choice.
- It has been very much all the time with language, football thinking and all that.
But I have joined the team very well and I feel very good, she says.
