If Jean-Michel Aulas chose not to support the OL players who are playing in the Champions League final on Saturday, Eugénie Le Sommer assured that she understood her former president.
Faced with a real dilemma, Jean-Michel Aulas made a decision. This Saturday, the players of Olympique Lyonnais have a decisive and crucial match to play. On the one hand, Pierre Sage’s men are playing in the Coupe de France final against Paris Saint-Germain (9 p.m.). On the other hand, Sonia Bompastor’s protégés face FC Barcelona in the Champions League final (6 p.m.). The former Rhone boss chose to go to Lille to support Alexandre Lacazette and his family. A decision that Eugénie Le Sommer said she understood.
While the controversy has been growing since Wednesday, the OL player, currently injured and absent from this famous upcoming final, spoke on the subject this Thursday on the channel The Team. “ You know what I think of him and if he doesn’t come to our finale, it’s because he has his reasons. There is no problem at all with that. He was the first to trust us and I know very well that he has reasons (which explain) why he doesn’t come. »
Bring the cup back to Jean-Michel Aulas
Vice-president of the FFF on one side, boss of the Women’s Professional League on the other, Jean-Michel Aulas had a choice. And if he chose the boys, his former players don’t hold it against him. At least not Eugénie Le Sommer who continued her speech to her glory: “ He remains in our heart in any case and he will be with us in all cases. He will support despite (the fact) that he is not there. This is not a problem for us at all. »
And the French attacker concluded: “ We hope to bring the cup back to him and show him. » Already victorious eight times in the C1, the OL women hope to add a sixth copy of the trophy to their showcase. However, the task will not be easy against FC Barcelona against whom they have never lost, but who believe more than ever in their chances of shaking up history.
