Rött kort för Björki, mål för Viens

Andra omgången spelades i Italien och fd FC Rosengård stjärnan Sara Björk Gunnarsdottir såg två gula gort mot Sampdoria Genua, men Juventus vann ändå med 4:1. Efter förlusten mot mästarna AS Roma förra veckan vann Kosovare Asllanis AC Milan i dag med 1:0 borta mot Napoli. Fransyskan Emelyne Laurent gjorde segermålet i den 96:e (!) minuten. Roma leder tabellen med 8:3 mål och sex poäng. Fd KDFF…

Laura Benkarth OL Interview

Posted on Youtube, was done in English, yet I am somewhat skeptical that people will take the 3 minutes and 39 seconds to watch it before judging her, so I am transcribing it instead.

I'm like 99 percent sure Timothee did the interview but a person's voice pitch changes when they're not speaking in their native language so I don't want to be wrong and incorrectly assign who did the interview.

Finally: @OL Comms Dept, this heatwave is insane, pls pitch in for the AC bill and/or Damo's frozen pup cups and/or Apollo's electrolytes.

LAURA BENKARTH OL INTERVIEW

Journalist: So Laura, we're really happy to welcome you here in Lyon. Can you first of all just introduce yourself for the people who don't know you yet?

Benkarth: Yeah. I'm Laura Benkarth, I'm a goalkeeper. I'm also really happy to be here at Lyon because I think it's one of the best clubs in the world. I'm really looking forward to the new season and the new challenge.

Journalist: Why did you choose to come here? Can you tell us a bit about the contacts, the exchanges, why you made the choice to come here?

Benkarth: Yeah, like I said, Lyon is one of the biggest clubs in Europe, even in the world, and they won a lot of titles. And I think it's a great challenge to be here, to train everyday at the highest level. I had good talks also with the coach, and so I chose Lyon.

Journalist: What image did you have of the club from the outside, what did you think about Lyon before coming here?

Benkarth: I think that Lyon's a really professional club, where you can do your job at the highest level in really good conditions. And yeah, I was really happy when I heard that Lyon wanted to have me, and so. Yeah.

Journalist: Were you able to ask for some advice from Saki Kumagai or Emelyne Laurent at Bayern? We have a few players there. Did they tell you about Lyon? What was your relationship with Saki and Emelyne?

Benkarth: With Saki, I was her roommate so of course I talked to her and asked her about Lyon. She only tells positive things. I also talked to Sara Dabritz, because I played with her at Bayern and Freibourg, and also on the German National Team. They also only said positive things about the club, the club is very professional, the team is really cool, that they have a lot of fun together. And of course they are really good and win a lot of titles.

Journalist: Obviously the goalkeeper role is quite special. Right now, as we speak, we have Christiane Endler who has spent the entire season as the No. 1. What do you think about her, first of all, as a goalkeeper? Are you excited to get to meet her, train with her, things like that?

Benkarth: Yes, of course. She's a great goalkeeper and I'm happy to train with her because I think we can learn from each other, and can bring us to the next level maybe through the competition. I'm really happy to train with her.

Journalist: The coach, when I talked to her just before, said that competition was important and that it's important to have people who are motived. Of course it has to be a fair competition as well. Are you ready to have this healthy competition and, like, pushing up with Christiane [Endler]?

Benkarth: Yes. I'm absolutely ready for that. It was also [the case] when I was at Bayern, where you always have competition with other players, because you're a top team and you have top players. So competition is always there, and I like it because I think it pushes me to the next level. But like you said it always has to be in a good way, because you're still a team and you still have to stand up for each other on the pitch and off the pitch, and yeah, help each other to grow.

Journalist: What would you say are your strengths in the game, what type of goalkeeper are you in a way?

Benkarth: I'm a goalkeeper who communicates a lot on the field, so I'm really interested how it works in French. But like I said, I will learn it, the language. And I think I'm also really good with the ball at my feet, I think the players are always safe when they play the ball back to me. I'm comfortable with it and that's a lot of fun for me to build the game up from behind. And I think that's one of my biggest strengths.

Hi friend! Since there's no football yet and i wanna talk football (hehe), which line up do you think have the best chance of beating barca? Can select all available players from all CL teams, except of barca players ofc

hey there!! me too, midweek games just ended and i'm already impatiently waiting for the next ones :')

oooh, that's a really interesting question. i'll probably end up picking some personal favourites haha.

and i'll deviate from the usual and go with a 4-4-2 (or 4-2-3-1) because i'd want more numbers in the centre of the pitch to try and counter Barca's all-powerful midfield, a 3 up front would just get wasted if we can't the ball past the midfield anyway so...

off the top of my head, i'll go with:

    viv miedema   fran kirby

ji soyun      frida maanum      lena oberdorf      emelyne laurent

magda eriksson    wendie renard    hanna glas     ashley lawrence

christiane endler

Emelyne Laurent might be the unexpected/underrated name here, but her pace is so electric down the wing and she could send in balls for Viv to just tap-in so i picked her for that reason lol. Renard is injured atm but no centre back comes close imo, she's just a supreme defender in every aspect (power, positioning, abilities on the ball).

I would've included Kumagai too but she's a bit slow (though she makes up for it with her excellent reading of the game), and if I went down that road I'd be picking Maroszan, Bronze, and basically most of that all-star Lyon team.

thoughts? i’m guessing you had a team in mind too when you asked me this :D
