In need of results, OL are heading straight into the wall this season. Grégory Coupet would see Bruno Genesio in the role of the savior.

Grégory Coupet has been dismayed since the start of the season when he saw his OL evolve. Former emblematic goalkeeper of Gones, the person confides his annoyance to the Parisian this Saturday. “ What scandalizes me is the lack of rebellion from the players. (…) I have the impression that everyone does their own thing. They all have a bit of blinders on. It’s “me I” but we have to try to see the bigger picture! »

To get out of it, in the eyes of this former Lyon glory, “ we need to stop tinkering like this. Management must have convictions and assume them. I’m sorry but if Fabio (Grosso, editor’s note) jumped after seven matches, it’s because you took it without being convinced. I find it terrible for him. (…) Pep Guardiola’s thoughts are all well and good, but when you have players who don’t have great technique, first make yourself difficult to beat. Then maybe you will gain a little confidence. »

Genesio, “a good solution”

To do this, OL need a coach who is unanimous and for whom everyone is fighting. “ The trust that management will give to the coach will be crucial. Some people talk about Antonetti, Kombouaré, coaches used to playing the game. You need people who talk to you about concrete things. Kombouaré did it with Dijon, he rushed people but he saved them. Maybe Pierre Sage will manage to do things, that’s what everyone wants. And Claudio Caçapa? We sent him to Molenbeek but I think he would have been good in Lyon… » As for the Bruno Genesio option? “ Of course it’s a good solutionexclaims Grégory Coupet. He loves the club, it’s his city and he knows the championship perfectly. »
