For Nabil Djellit, the new coach of the France Espoirs team, Thierry Henry, would have been the ideal coach for OL.
Nothing is going well at OL. After having kicked out Laurent Blanc, the Rhone decision-makers decided to confirm the keys to the truck to Fabio Grosso. Without any more success than his predecessor… Since his appointment on the Lyon bench, the Italian technician has not yet won a single match (1 draw and 3 defeats). Indeed, Les Gones lost again on Sunday evening, at home, against Clermont (1-2), and are in a very worrying last place.
From then on, Fabio Grosso is already beginning to crystallize criticism, particularly regarding his management of the Rayan Cherki case. It must be said that the former full-back made the strong choice to skip his 20-year-old attacking midfielder during his first match on the Lyon bench in Brest. Against Clermont on Sunday, this time he brought out the native of Lyon at the break. A decision that inevitably sparks debate. For Nabil Djellit, Grosso “completely planted” with Cherki.
“Grosso completely messed up when he arrived”
“Fabio Grosso completely screwed up when he arrived at OL, said the journalist on the L’Equipe channel. He arrived, we had to tell him that Cherki was perhaps not the nicest guy in the locker room, that he was caressing the ball too much and that he was playing for his face, I don’t know. The first thing he did was put him on the bench against Brest. For me, in terms of management, it was a failure. Instead of putting him on the field and telling him “I’ve been told this and that, show me that what I’m being told isn’t true,” he immediately put him on the bench. and he stole it. »
Little considered in Lyon, Rayan Cherki shines on the other hand with the Espoirs of Thierry Henry, who made him one of his basic men. Enough to give ideas to Nabil Djellit, who would have liked to see “Titi” on the Lyon bench instead of Grosso.
“Maybe we should have put Thierry Henry”
“But when you do that, you have an interest in winning the matches which was not the case, he continued. Teveryone agrees to say that he is having a blast in the French Espoirs team, perhaps Thierry Henry should have been put at the head of OL… perhaps in terms of management it is better than Grosso. Nothing goes to Lyon but the first one to always take is Rayan Cherki. »
