Times are tough at Olympique Lyonnais. Currently 17th in Ligue 1 with only 2 points on the clock, OL lost again this weekend on the pitch at Stade Brestois for Fabio Grosso’s first (1-0).
A defeat which does not help the situation of the Gones who are in great difficulty at the start of the season. An abnormal situation for a club which has experienced the heights and which has been struggling for several weeks to get back on track.
Questioned by the newspaperTeam, former Lyon player and now Lille defender Samuel Umtiti reacted to the situation his former club was going through. The 2018 world champion regrets this negative period for the Gone.
“ A team like Lyon, for me, must play at the top of the table. I was trained there, when I started playing, that was it, there was this mentality of winning every match. That being said, there are things that I don’t control, I don’t know how things work inside the club. But it’s true that it saddens me a little to see this team at the bottom of the rankings. I wish them to find stability, at the club and at the team. But I hope we finish in front of them, that’s the most important thing! “, he blurted.
A rebound against Stade de Reims?
It’s only the start of the season, but Olympique Lyonnais already has its back against the wall. Les Gones are in the red zone and a reaction is expected very quickly at the risk of no longer being able to escape this crisis and this negative spiral. This Sunday, Fabio Grosso’s men have an important meeting on the pitch at the Stade de Reims. A match which should allow OL to get back on track and have a fresh start.
