The captain of Olympique Lyonnais was angry after the defeat suffered on Saturday evening in Brest (1-0, 6th day of Ligue 1).
The numbers speak for themselves. Olympique Lyonnais had not had such a poor start to a Championship in almost 35 years… Beaten Saturday evening in Brest (1-0) for the first of Fabio Grosso as coachAlexandre Lacazette’s teammates occupy sixteenth place in the ranking, that of jump-off player.
“Given the situation, it’s complicated, I’m going to be careful about what I say because I don’t want to slip up,” reacted the OL captain in front of the cameras Canal +. Alexandre Lacazette tried to contain his anger after this fourth defeat in Ligue 1.
A catastrophic performance
“We say the same things every weekend, we talk in the locker room but we do the same things on the pitch,” notes the former Arsenal striker who was asked if the crisis in results could be explained by the level of the players or their involvement.
Grosso is not a magician. He discovers the group and will understand. A catamaran performance. However, he made an error in his coaching which forced him to take Lacazette out very early. And deprive yourself of your best scorer. Surprising at this level. Fortunately Lopes was there… #brestol

“I’ll let you judge on this subject, it’s not up to me to say whether players give their all or not, at least not in front of the TV,” replied the 32-year-old striker.
🗣 “We didn’t know how to play football, it’s unacceptable (…) Yes, it’s a crisis”
