Grosso's first controversial decision?

For his first time in charge of OL, this Saturday evening in Brest, Fabio Grosso could opt for a 4-3-3, leaving Rayan Cherki on the bench.

The Fabio Grosso era in Lyon is over! After the interim of Jean-François Vulliez against Le Havre (0-0), the new coach of Olympique Lyonnais will lead his first match this Saturday evening in Brest, as part of the 6th day of Ligue 1.

According to the probable composition published by L’Equipe, Laurent Blanc’s successor should opt for a 4-3-3, with some strong choices, such as leaving Duje Caleta-Car and especially Rayan Cherki on the bench. These are the recruits Ernest Nuamah and Diego Moreira who could surround Alexandre Lacazette in attack.

The Cherki case is a subject of debate among OL supporters. There are those who believe that the club-trained playmaker is a superior talent and must be the custodian of the team’s play, and those who believe that his game is not effective enough. There is also question over whether he can play on one side, or only in his best position, in the middle behind a striker. We will see what happens next, but the first signals sent by Grosso are not favorable for the French international hopefuls…
