Asked at the end of the match against Lorient about the new status of his teammate, Alexandre Lacazette indicated that there was nothing scandalous.
For the second time in three matches, Rayan Cherki had to start a Lyon match on the substitutes’ bench. It was Sunday against Lorient. And he only came out at the very end of the game, without being able to influence the outcome of the match.
Lacazette warns Cherki
The sidelining of the international hopeful surprises many people, but not his captain Alexandre Lacazette. After the game, the Gones striker even took the liberty of making a small tackle to his partner.
“You have to earn your place and deserve it. It also shows that the coach needs everyone. We must give him (Grosso, editor’s note) time to know the faults and qualities of each person,” the former Arsenal player told Amazon Prime.
Regarding the match against the Merlus and the two points dropped, Lacazette indicated: “There is a lot of disappointment today. And frustration. These are just details that cause us to lose points. But we will continue to work (…) There are also positives. The fact that we managed to score goals. This is what we were lacking. It feels good and we’re going to build on it.”
