SATURDAY,
Olympique Lyonnais could not do better than a disappointing draw (0-1) at Groupama Stadium, against Toulouse, on the occasion of the 18th day of Ligue 1. A new poor performance for the Rhone club, three days after the humiliation suffered against Bourgoin-Jallieu (2- 2, 2-4 tab) in the Coupe de France.
A few moments after the meeting, Corentin Tolisso went to report to certain supporters. “It’s complicated, the midfielder told DAZN.
Because we always want to make our supporters proud and, when they are not happy, it's sad for us. They said they were going to stick together with us. I admitted to them that we had made a professional mistake in the Coupe de France, that the period was complicated, but that there are always ups and downs in a season. At the moment, we are rather at the bottom. We must recognize this in order to improve. »
OL in crisis, Tolisso plays down the drama
The former Bayern Munich player nevertheless refuses to sink into pessimism. “I remind you that we are two points from the qualifying places in the Champions League, that we are fourth in the Europa League. For some, it will be hard to hear me put things into perspective like that. But we must remember the positive. I know that Wednesday's defeat hurt a lot, both to the supporters and to us, but we didn't show the same face this evening. estimated the 30-year-old French international.
Corentin Tolisso is not the only one who had to confront the Ultras on Saturday evening. His coach, Pierre Sage, as well as Rayan Cherki, Niakhaté, Clinton Mata and Georges Mikautadze went to speak with representatives of the Lyon supporters, at the bottom of the stand.
