Bixente Lizarazu made a very cold and fatalistic observation when discussing the situation of Olympique Lyonnais.
The results are catastrophic for Olympique Lyonnais. After nine matches played this season in Ligue 1, the Rhone club is neither more nor less than the confirmed red lantern in the championship. Not the slightest victory since the start of the season and only three small points gleaned, which is already five points behind Metz. The state of the club of the former president, Jean-Michel Aulas, worries all observers and the word of relegation now returns with insistence. Even if the current owner, John Textor, refuses to consider such an outcome, the fact remains that the current situation is far from reassuring.
Observer among others, Bixente Lizarazu was invited this Sunday to speak on the issue. And for the consultant of TF1, the observation was scathing. “ It’s a total crisis. When we look at the history, there was Laurent Blanc who was fired, the arrival of (Fabio) Grosso who is already in the hot seat, there is the conflict with (Jean Michel) Aulas, there is (Rayan) Cherki who is sidelined for today’s match (Sunday, against OM, editor’s note), there is Santiago Cucci who is the executive president who was removed. It doesn’t exude serenity at all in this club.“
“Catastrophic conditions”
And while Olympique Lyonnais travels to Marseille on Sunday evening for an Olympico which promises to be very hot (8:45 p.m.), Bixente Lizarazu wondered how things were going to improve when it was time to meet the Phocaeans. “ These are the most catastrophic conditions to prepare for a match like this, with the rivalry between these two clubs. So it’s certain that for Lyon, they are approaching this in the worst conditions. » It’s up to Alexandre Lacazette and all of his teammates to show if they still have something in their guts.
