Olympique Lyonnais travel to Monaco to open the 16th day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After a convincing success against Toulouse (3-0), Olympique Lyonnais has the opportunity to change its season for good. For this, the Gones will have to make a big blow to Louis-II, against a Monegasque team decimated by injuries and suspensions.
“ The ranking and statistics from one week to the next place us differently, explained Pierre Sageconfirmed in his functions. These are other people’s stories. I would say that football has no memory, so it’s up to us to write our history. We have a club that has been used to playing these competitions, at the top of the table. Today, the situation is different. We must play while taking this into account, it requires daily awareness, a desire to work even harder to get out of this situation. We are the only ones responsible for what happens to us. We know that this will play out over time. The important thing is to quickly purge the bad feelings and move on”.
Make no mistake, it is AS Monaco who will approach this great classic with the favorite costume. Despite the absences of Golovin, Venderson or Caio Henrique, the Principality club has the status of third to be respected. A victory would even allow the Monegasques to temporarily overtake their neighbor Nice. “ We are in good shape at the moment, after our good victory in Rennes (1-2), where Lyon also won, which is not easy, warned Adi Hütter. But it won’t be easy, because they recently changed their system by going back to three at the back. In any case, we will try to give the best performance on the field to win. »
