Causerie : "What do you say to someone who thinks football is a men's sport?"

Vanessa LM: "Do you know Liza Zimouche? She gives you little bridges, you know" (...) "Do you know Katoto?"

Causerie : "Your role model in sports journalism?"

Vanessa LM: "Nathalie Iannetta"

Causerie : "How do you feel being a woman in a world of men?"

Vanessa LM: "At first, I thought I couldn't become a sports journalist.

And I say to him: "but I can?" (...)

"You have to cultivate your difference because that is what will become your strength." (...)

"I remind you that it is a mixed competition ... and on the final step, there is only one place, and girl or boy, well it's the best who wins, quite simply".

"I remind you that it is a mixed competition ... and on the last step, there is only one place, and girl or boy, well it's the best who wins, quite simply"..
