LONDON (Reuters) - Eugenie Le Sommer is two goals away from breaking France's all-time scoring record and has won multiple trophies with club side Olympique Lyonnais, but she says her main goal going into the new year is simply to keep her place in the team.

The forward has won every trophy there is with Lyon since joining in 2010, scoring 13 league goals last season to help them secure another treble that included record-extending triumphs in the league , the French Cup and Champions League .

"Every year it's the same, with my club I want to win everything. French league, French Cup and Champions League," she told Reuters at Visa Europe's headquarters in London. While the 30-year-old Le Sommer has lifted a trophy every year she has been at the Ligue 1 side, silverware on the international stage has proved much more elusive.Expectations in France were high going into this year's women's World Cup, with the hosts aiming at least to improve on their previous best result - their fourth-place finish at the 2011 tournament in Germany.

"I am disappointed about the World Cup because we could be better and it's not a good memory on the pitch, we didn't play well and I didn't enjoy the game," Le Sommer said. "Since now, three or four competitions we always lost in the quarter-finals. We want to be better, we want to win something with France we have good players but maybe we miss something and we want to be better every day," added Le Sommer, who has 167 caps for her country.
