Brest-Lyon, composition: Grosso redistributes the cards!

This poster between Stade Brestois and Olympique Lyonnais will pit the 2nd against the 16th in Ligue 1. But against all expectations, it is the Breton club which will approach it with the favorite costume if we trust the photography of the rank. For OL, this trip to the tip of Brittany therefore promises to be perilous. But it won’t be a match like any other.

Lyon opens a new chapter in its history with the first on the bench of Fabio Grosso. Former player of the house, the Italian technician fully intends to redistribute the cards.

What composition for the premiere of Grosso? No revolution but…

“ For me, things are very simple. We base ourselves on what the players show us. And then we make choiceshe said at a press conference. Of course if everyone wants to earn their place, it’s difficult, but so much the better. I have confidence in the group, I feel it. I’m not going to make a revolution or changes just for the sake of a change. I’m going to make the team that I think is the most serious and that I know will give everything on the pitch. We have players with great careers, we have young people who are just starting out, it’s a mix of everything… I speak with everyone, and I have enormous respect for everyone, at the same level, because I respect people in general. For me, the hardest part will be leaving players at home. No putting on the bench. Because the bench is like the pitch, they play, we have five changes. So it’s the group that plays the match. »

There is therefore no longer any assigned status in the OL locker room. For this first, however, it seems difficult to imagine Grosso doing without the most destabilizing players. Captain Lacazette is obviously expected on the attack front, just like Cherki and Nuamah. Lopes will hold his place in the goals.

The expected line-up for OL : Lopes – Mata, Diomandé, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico – Caqueret, Akouokou, Tolisso – Nuamah, Lacazette, Cherki.
