Olympique Lyonnais attacker Kadidiatou Diana, who has achieved a bra in the first leg of their semifinal against Arsenal, but has six champions League goals, all who come into key moments for European champions and last season, which are determined to revenge their revenge.
Top scerer spatial space in the Champions League, Diani follows in their own steps this season.
She is the most suitable player in the champion league (a couple Claudia Pina), included in 10 goals in nine matches, with six goals and four assists, and thus three goals behind Catalan, in front of the final one that is likely to occur Lyon against Barcelona.
Against ArsenalShe opened the scoring again and took off the Fenet in a flying start against unconvincing in the London side.
“My goal is to achieve as many goals for my team as possible. If I’m the best shooter, all the better. If I’m not too bad. But the most important thing I can be of use to my team above everything else,” she said Progress in front of another leg.
And that would be an underestimation to say that the LYE serial attacker was useful to his team this season, especially in the competition, but won eight times.
In the previous circle, in the quarterfinal against BayernGender from the Ivrry-sur-Sena provided two assists and naked in 15 minutes to die Nada Nemanama to return, after Clara BuhlOpener for 33. a minute, returned them to the connection.
There was extraordinary performance that has already produced in a group match against Romawhen Giulia Dragoni opened scoring for Italians.
After you arrived for 28 minutes, he reached twice and set the other. When Olympique Linyis was in trouble, Diana is a suitable RT for the dimensions of the game to come to rescue. And that makes it like with a smile on the face, after lasting the first season in Lyon with statistics away from their league standards.
It is now on the right side of the fire attack, it has the time of your life.
Back to all the best
2024-25, Diani scored 16 goals and provided 10 assists in 27 games for Lyon, but what was the secret of this success season?
“Joe Montemurro asks us to do the things we like, and he puts his plan, especially with a lot of games and duels“He explained 30-year attacker Team.
“We like and we are pretty free. Sometimes I can swap places and play in the middle or on the left. Although they are in English and it is not always easy to understand.”
This season, “Kadi” is played with two ultra fast attackers, Melchie Dumornay and Tabithato form a frightening trio.
Dumornay began as a midfield, but Montemurro moved her into a false-nine role when she arrived. As a result, there are 20 goals and eight assists for her name this season, making it the most fertile club player just in front of Diani.
Chawinga is, for a short time, on Diana’s opposite side and, like Franck, passes through the transition season, after the summer has arrived in the most popular league for a blinding season with PSG.
Diani is surrounded daily by the two fastest players in the Champions League, with the highest speed of 31.3km / hs recorded for Chawing, making it the fastest player in the competition.
“With time on training, we started synchronizing and learning where each of us wants to play together, so we need to know how to play each other. We feel they play each other. Dumornay said after the victory over PSG 18. January.
Montemurrov style of playing suits Diana like a glove: with a permanent exchange between three attackers, French international often manages to create a chance behind the opposition defense by sliding between lines, sometimes bordering the offside, to accelerate in the middle.
In doing so, she uses his qualities well as false nine who had to develop despite himself during her last season in Paris Saint-Germain to make up for long absence Marie-Antoinette Katoto.
Winger seems just as easy and out of the field.
“It’s true that I feel good in a group, with players,” She admitted Progress.
“And the most important thing is when you feel good in your head, and you feel good on the field. I hope to keep that swing at the end.”
Usually very discreet and reserved on the PSG, social networks of other Lyon discovering a glitter Diana, and not hesitant to caught in a variety of trends running Vanessa Gilles and Danielle van De Donk.
In the middle of a very international locker room, she even answered jokes (in English) American Lindsey Heaps When he asked this where her boyfriend was. Her answer? “He’s my cat.”
Snow is her beautiful tomcat she dedicates almost the entire ticket account.
“You have a cat, you changed the bathtub, “ A member of the PSG communication team considers that among other private jokes, a daily basis between Lion, a symbol of the group that is well lived.
But Damaris Egurrola He adds that she lost none of her calm after the ball is in the game: “Diani is a really clear player. She approaches important matches as well as training. She is a great player and can do the difference at all times and can do the difference at any time and can do the difference at any time …
“That’s why we’re one of the best teams in the world, because we’re surrounded by very good players, but also very good people who connect each other.”
It is a healthy environment and one that could help Olympique Lyonniis victory on the return of the Champions League, with the look of another final against Barcelona.
