The OL boss spoke at the end of this Sunday’s match, mentioning Rayan Cherki in particular.
The crisis on the cake. Nothing is going well at Olympique Lyonnais. For this final lift of the 9th day of Ligue 1, the Rhone residents fell at Groupama Stadium against Clermont with a score of 2 goals to 1. John Textor’s club is in great difficulty and the latter did not let the opportunity to express yourself.
“ There’s not much to say. These are the kind of matches that had to be won. The supporters were with us throughout the evening. We showed too many qualities compared to the result we got. And we’re not where we need to be. Worried ? Yes, of course I worry. Here we are talking about relegation. There’s no risk, but we could have a mediocre season. »
“Our captain said a few weeks ago that we pay dearly for every little mistake on our part. I worry but I believe in the other coach and the team. Now what we need to do is work. “, thundered the OL boss again, who was questioned about his coach.
“Gross? He has to do different things. He has young players and others with experience. He gives opportunity to those he deserves. Tonight, the players did good things. They gave what was needed. Everyone has to be at their level. Now it puts pressure on us because we have to beat teams to move up the rankings. »
Textor took the opportunity to discuss the Cherki case, which is currently causing a lot of talk in Lyon. “Cherki happy in Lyon? There is no player who can be happy when he doesn’t play 90 minutes. Of course he’s not happy. I have respect for him, he works hard and will succeed in finding what the coach expects of him.“
