The Lyon coach is happy with the victory won by his team in Monaco (0-1), with a goal constructed by three substitutes.
And two victories for Olympique Lyonnais! After being dominated for a good part of the match, the Rhone club ended up winning Friday evening in Monaco (0-1), to achieve its second success in a row after that obtained last Sunday against Toulouse (3-0 ).
“The victory was built strangely, but we are very happy for the players, reacted Pierre Sage, the interim coach of OL. The important thing is that in the end, we are where we need to be. That’s why I stay focused on this goal, no matter how long I’m with this team. I’m happy that the starters are scoring because it rallies them to the cause of the team and the efforts made. »
“If Alexandre Lacazette doesn’t say he’s tired”
Jeffinho’s goal (85th) was scored in an action constructed by three players who had barely entered the game. Ainsley Maitland-Niles had taken over from Corentin Tolisso in midfield (74th), Jeffinho had just replaced Ernest Nuamah (83rd), while that Tino Kadewere had replaced a blunt Alexandre Lacazette. Winning changes!
“Coaching has little to do with it, explains a Pierre Sage who is perhaps a little too modest. If Alexandre Lacazette does not say that he is tired there is not necessarily the change, which is accompanied by another because we say to ourselves that it was important to bring freshness and depth to get out from our 30 meters. And on the first ball he smiled. To be very frank, it was written like that, we always talk about winning coaching, but in the end, these are rather good entries. » And this could give ideas to Pierre Sage for OL’s last match before the break, next Wednesday against Nantes.
