Olympique Lyonnais will host Olympique de Marseille at the Parc OL this Sunday, for the 5th day of Ligue 1. During the press conference this Friday, before this Olympico, Lyon midfielder Maxence Caqueret acknowledged the current superiority of the Marseillais.
Indeed, the team led by Roberto De Zerbi occupies 2nd place in the standings, just two points behind the leader PSG. OL, meanwhile, stagnates in 13th place, with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. Despite this unfavorable context, the French international affirms that the Gones will not be content to play second fiddle.
“We are not outsiders”
“Marseille is making a better impression. They’ve had a very good start to the season, we’ve had a less good start. They’ve won more games, they’re at the top of the table, but we have a team to compete with them over the season, judged Caqueret. We prepared really well, we are ready to play a great match, it could determine the rest of our season. The atmosphere will be hot. We want to win, Marseille too. We are not outsiders.
He went on to emphasize: “Marseille is a good team but we are ready. We are still European, they are not. We are still OL, an important team in this championship. They are not coming here thinking that it will be easy.”
