SuggestedLeadIn: Lyon were preparing to face Caen in Ligue 1

Script: SOUNDBITE (French) Maxime Gonalons, Lyon captain:

(Q: How can you explain your difficulties at the beginning of the season? Is it mental, physical, tactics?)

"As I said already, we need to get pleasure back in our game altogether. We could talk maybe about the mental aspect. Season beginnings are always difficult moments, there is also the (transfer) market. There's a lot of aspects to keep in mind and I think when it settles down we will find the way of winning and go forward."

SOUNDBITE (French) Maxime Gonalons, Lyon captain:

(Q: Is it an emergency to get a good result tomorrow?)

"Here in Lyon there is always an emergency to have good results, we're always under pressure. When we're among the best French clubs and have ambitions to be the best European team, we must be efficient every week and have good results. On Saturday it will be very important, with a lot pressure."

SOUNDBITE (French) Hubert Fournier, Lyon coach:

(Q: Could we have your reaction to the Champions League draw yesterday?)

"It's a draw that allows us to be in an even group. Valencia and Zenit St. Petersburg have good Champions League pedigree, but we're not bad either. It's a group that allows us to have some hopes to qualify."
