Grégory Coupet, the former glory of Olympique Lyonnais, severely attacked the mentality of the players of the Rhone club.

16th in Ligue 1 (2 draws and 3 defeats) after five days, this is the sad record displayed by Olympique Lyonnais at the start of the 2023-24 financial year. A trend that Sonny Anderson, the interim coach of Les Gones since the dismissal of Laurent Blanc on September 11 after the victory against Auxerre (3-2), is also struggling to reverse. As proof, we want the new draw conceded by the Rhone club against Le Havre (0-0) this Sunday.

The former OL striker had nevertheless tried to motivate his players during a pre-match chat, without success given the final result and the performance of the residents of Groupama Stadium. Enough to make the club’s former goalkeeper, Grégory Coupet, react, who did not hesitate to point out the mentality of the Lyonnais.

“Nice try Sonny but not sure that you are addressing a team of friends inclined to fight for each other for an institution that they respect…”wrote the seven-time French champion on Twitter.
