Healthy competition according to Christophe Forest
The Dijon club now has its two goalkeepers for the next season. “With Lisa Lichtfus, we will have two good level goalkeepers. They will be in healthy competition and will have to pull each other up », Explains Christophe Forest, the Côte-d’Orien coach. ” Emily is a very good goalkeeper, especially at ease on aerial outings. »
Never give up on a pitch
For her part, Emily Burns says she is very motivated by her integration into the DFCO: “For me, it’s a very good opportunity in my progression. The DFCO is a well-established club which showed me a lot of interest. The new facilities also show the club’s interest in its women’s team. I want to bring confidence to the team and also my passion. I have this mentality of never giving up on a pitch. »
This new DFCO recruit follows a transfer window that has already started well with the arrivals of Maria Diaz as winger, Roselord Borgella and Madeline Roth as attackers, Morgane Martins and Malgorzata Grec as defenders.
