Present at a press conference on Monday, on the eve of the Coupe de France match against Strasbourg, Pierre Sage explained that he expected more from his young playmaker.
Olympique Lyonnais comes back to life. For several weeks, the Gones have seemed irresistible. A revival that OL will try to confirm this Tuesday evening against Strasbourg in the quarter-final of the Coupe de France. A meeting for which Ryan Cherki should once again start, he who seems much more comfortable in the Cup than in the championship. An observation that Pierre Sage, his trainer, has difficulty understanding.
“It’s difficult to explain in a rational way,” said Lyon coach. If we gave him the choice to reverse his stats, he would do it quite quickly. He is a player we can also count on in this competition. This is an asset for us. He performed very well in the previous round. Since then he has played a little less but his entries have shown us things, especially against Nice. He created a big chance at the end of the match. »
“We expect him to perform well,” said the Rhone technician. He’s a young player. Right now, things are happening for him. I’m waiting for him to digest all this a little in order to stabilize his performances and ensure that he becomes the player he should be.
