Coming out of OL’s new defeat at Lens (3-2) on Saturday evening, Alexandre Lacazette spoke about the departure of Fabio Grosso.

For the great first of Pierre Sage on the bench of Olympique Lyonnais, appointed interim coach after the ouster of Fabio Grosso at the start of the week, the Gones lost again in Lens (3-2), Saturday, for the account of the 14th day of Ligue 1. The Rhone residents, however, showed a much better face than during their last outings, enough to give them some reason for hope for the future.

“We had some very, very poor matches, and this evening I think we weren’t that bad, we had intentions, ideas…, Alexandre Lacazette told Prime Video after the meeting. There was one incident in the match to note, it’s a shame because it’s not in our favor, but we’re not going to hide behind that, insisted the second top scorer in OL history . I think the animation was much better, there are a lot of things to learn from this match but once again, we are not rewarded for our efforts. We came away disappointed from this match, we believed in it until the end and I think a draw was fair. It hurts but we’re going to have to turn the page and move on. »

“It’s easy to talk, to start rumors…”

While rumors suggested that there was no good feeling between Fabio Grosso and the executives of the Lyon locker room, Alexandre Lacazette in the lead, the latter wanted to make things clear.

“I have always had respect for my coaches, assured the former Gunner. JI hear a lot of things but I prefer to say nothing because it’s easy to talk, to start rumors so that everyone believes them. Now, I think the director will speak soon to highlight what happened and people will understand better, rather than blaming us, the people of Lyon, and the managers of this team. »
