coach Paul Le Guen brought him to Lyon for €4m

By Christian Chatelet Olympique Lyonnais left-winger Florent Malouda is determined his team will not rue the chances they missed against PSV Eindhoven at Stade Gerland last week. Deflected strikeAfter 12 minutes of the [url=http://www.afett.com/Uploads/team.html]green bay packers jerseys[/url] first leg, Malouda looked to have set his side on course for the UEFA Champions League semi-finals when his powerful drive was deflected into Heurelho Gomes's net. But Phillip Cocu's low shot found the corner in the closing stages to earn PSV a late equaliser - and the advantage going into Wednesday's return. Positive thoughts"We felt disappointed after conceding the goal – especially with the number of chances we had," he said. "But the positive thing is [url=http://www.matrixdesigns.com/aims/Inquiry.html]buffalo bills jerseys[/url] we gave them plenty to worry about at the back. If we play the same way in the return leg, we'll go through." Lama heroMalouda has every reason to be optimistic after his meteoric rise. Born in French Guyana in South America, the 24-year-old followed the footsteps of his idol Bernard Lama by moving to France to pursue a footballing career. After two years in Lique 2 with LB Châteauroux, Malouda thrived on the left flank for EA Guingamp in the top flight from 2000/01 to [url=http://www.matrixdesigns.com/aims/Inquiry.html]cheap pittsburgh steelers jerseys[/url] 2002/03. Marauding runsIn that final season, which ended in relegation for the Brittany team in June 2003, he and the then unheralded Didier Drogba scored 27 goals between them. Malouda contributed ten, with his devastating surges down the flank being a legacy of his early days as an attacking full-back. Lyon rewardThat summer, coach Paul Le Guen brought him to Lyon for €4m, handing him a five-year contract after being impressed by the youngster's dynamic displays. Malouda has since gone from strength to strength, to the extent that he is now widely regarded as the best left-sided player in France. Le Guen said: "It's great to have players like Malouda - I can always rely on him." International chancesFrance coach Raymond Domenech clearly concurs, having given Malouda his first caps against Poland and Israel earlier this season. "The French team is rebuilding. I'm young and hope to be part of its future," Malouda said. Present focusBut the present is all about the game in the Netherlands on Wednesday, and Malouda believes Lyon can reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time. "I was surprised at the physicality of PSV in the first leg. I was surprised at the strength of their defensive play and their tackling. But we know [url=http://pucanguilla.org/Public_site.html]new york giants jerseys[/url] more about them now, and I hope the second game will be different."
