Two defeats and two victories, this is the assessment displayed by Paulo Fonseca since his arrival on the bench of Olympique Lyonnais at the end of January. After his last defeat against Paris Saint-Germain (3-2) Sunday in Ligue 1, the Rhone club occupies 6th place, four points of a qualification in the Europa League and five points from fourth place, synonymous with tickets for the qualification tour of the Champions League.
If the Lyon objective is clearly defined, the Portuguese coach recognizes the pressure on the shoulders of his team. However, it remains optimistic in view of what its players are currently demonstrating, especially in training.
Fonseca, a happy coach
“We have a pressure is true, it is the truth but the most important thing is to continue to progress. We have 11 games left. Above all, we have to think about the next match and not following. I am a happy coach because I have a group that gives the maximum training with great attention and intensity ”, said the former AC Milan manager in front of the media.
OL will host the Brest stadium this Sunday as part of the 24th day of the French championship. The residents of Groupama Stadium will then go to the lawn of the Steaua Bucharest in the round of 16 go to the Europa League on Thursday, before traveling to Nice on March 9.
