Penultimate in the Ligue 1 standings, Olympique Lyonnais have yet to win this season in the league. For Daniel Riolo, a solution is necessary.
The arrival of Fabio Grosso to replace Laurent on the bench of Olympique Lyonnais has, for the moment, changed nothing in the situation. And now after eight days of the championship, Les Gones are still looking for their very first success of the season. This weekend against Lorient, the mission seemed very close to being accomplished, but despite a two-goal lead, the Lyonnais once again failed to finally concede an improbable draw (3-3). For some, an ultimate solution is necessary.
Observer of the match in question and the more general situation, Daniel Riolo took stock Monday evening on RMC. For the journalist, the players are no longer in their heads. “ There I told myself that it’s in the head that guys are sick. Because even the basic basics of football, they have forgotten it. (…) I don’t know how they are going to get out of it, because they are really mentally affected and it’s true that in football, the psychologist is frowned upon, it’s not something that is culturally, it’s not something that can be done.“
“The guys are burned out”
And yet, it is this solution that the journalist would recommend to the Lyonnais. “ If they can, I think they should bring in someone to talk to the players because the guys are burned out. » In the meantime, Alexandre Lacazette and his partners will have to stick together around their coach’s project. The international break will also allow them to work in this direction.
