Lyon lacking in confidence
On the eve of this delicate duel, the Lyonnais coach was present at a press conference and spoke about the key points of the match which awaits his players and about the current context. “When you meet an opponent of the quality of PSG, you have to be careful about what he says because it can be very complicated. Paris had a very good match against Lens, it’s a team with a lot of good individuals. We have our problems to solve. I think that all that is happening now does not help us to have a climate of serenity. But we are motivated, focused on this match.”he assured.

Regarding the game plan adopted against the Parisians, the former coach of the Blues knows that it will be complicated to have the ball, but he expects his players to use it well when they have it. “A team like Paris Saint-Germain often does not allow you (to have the ball). I know Luis Enrique very well, he wants the ball. He is a master in possession of the ball, he has players to get the ball and they don’t give it back to you easily. We will have to be very good in the defensive aspect, which is not a primary quality of Olympique Lyonnais, so we will have to make an effort in this area. And especially when we have recovered the ball, we will have to be very good in the first 3, 4, 5 passes.he then explained.
