The Lyon team and their coach Pierre Sage were full of praise for Serbian international Nemanja Matic after the match against Marseille.
For his first appearance under the colors of Olympique Lyonnais, Nemanja Matic won everyone over. Indeed, OL paid 2.60 million euros to secure the services of the very experienced Serbian midfielder, who arrived from Rennes.
Aligned from the start during the Olympico clash against Olympique de Marseille, Matic met the expectations of his coach Pierre Sage. The latter declared at a press conference: “How did I find Matic? In line with what we had seen before he came, said the 44-year-old Franc-Comtois. He has the ability to adapt very quickly. At the end of the match, I welcomed him to Lyon in good conditions. »
“It’s up to me to compensate”
A positive impression also shared by Gones captain Alexandre Lacazette and Maxence Caqueret. “He brought us all his experience, calm in the midfield,” said the former Gunners scorer in the mixed zone. He played pretty well I think. He controlled when he needed to. So it feels good. »
The 23-year-old midfielder, for his part, sees a certain complementarity with the profile of the former Chelsea member. “He is someone who has a lot of experience, he brings serenity. He is further behind me, so it is up to me to compensate, to do the shopping so that we understand each other well,” added Caqueret.
