The winter transfer window looks like the last lifeline for Olympique Lyonnais this season.
Red lantern in Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is up against the wall. With 7 points collected in 14 days, the Rhone club must significantly increase its pace to hope to save its place in Ligue 1. With this in mind, the winter transfer window looks like a crucial window.
Current interim after the departure of Fabio Grosso, Pierre Sage was questioned about this transfer period. The technician explained that he had not been consulted by his management. “ Today, we have to reason with the resources and staff available, we are not going to invent a life for ourselves. Players have to be able to play well together, that’s what matters. I am not consulted (on the transfer window), because I am someone on a daily basis with the team, the future is not up to me to build, but rather to the club.“
“The solutions are before us”
This exit confirms, if necessary, that Pierre Sage does not seem to represent a long-term solution for OL. Despite this, the OL interim coach called for sacred unity. “ What is positive is that there will be the public behind us. They are convinced that they must be, it is up to us to convince them to be behind us the whole match. I feel disappointment, not fear. The solutions are not behind us, but ahead. Players need to be in the mindset of telling themselves that they are focused on the next objective. You have to remove the negative elements, because they no longer count » he concluded in comments taken up by the regional daily Le Progrès.
