The coach of Olympique Lyonnais made strong remarks as part of this eighth final return of the Europa League against the FCSB.

This is a message that John Textor will surely welcome with a smile. A little over a year after the recruitment of Lucas Perri from Botafogo, Paulo Fonseca estimates that the Brazilian porter of theOlympique Lyonnais is number 1 at its post 0

“Lucas Perri is currently the best goalkeeper in the world”launched the Portuguese technician at a press conference. Strong words, considering competition in this position, with Thibaut Courtois, Mike Maignan or Alisson, the compatriot of Perri and holder in Brazilian selection.

Perri is unanimous at OL

The timing, however, explains these sudden compliments. Lucas Perri is in a fairly exceptional period, after two games when his performances saved OL, against Bucharest on the outward journey (3-1), but also in Nice, last Sunday (2-0). “He was decisive defensively with his many parades but he above all progressed offensively. His hand reminders are incredible ”, continued Fonseca.

Strong on its line, precise in its long and therefore essential game in the construction of the game, Lucas Perri also emerges as a quiet force in the Lyonnais locker room, where its bonhommie and its calm diffuse serenity. OL will need its providential man to continue writing its European history.
