Barely arrived in Lyon, Gift Orban is already causing some problems in the Gones locker room due to his behavior.
Promising results, tempting recruits, and suddenly, the slap! Olympique Lyonnais fell from a height on Friday evening, with this defeat against Rennes (2-3) where the Gones were trailing 3-0 on their home field in the first period.
As for the winter recruits, Malick Fofana started, but he came out at half-time when Pierre Sage felt the need to significantly modify his eleven. Gift Orban came on at half-time, participating in OL’s best period. But it is the Nigerian striker who has been talked about, badly, in recent hours.
Gift Orban, a “terrible” player?
There had already been a rather improbable episode this week: Gift Orban was caught calling out singer Aya Nakamura on social networks, to demand responses to her messages, but the former La Gantoise player assures that he was hacked, and that he is not the author of these comments.
Friday evening, it was Romain Molina who caused trouble about the player. “Orban achieved the feat of alienating part of the Lyon locker room because he was so nasty with his new teammates in training, wrote the independent journalist. Much courage to the staff to manage his case if he does not calm down. »
Follower of Olympique Lyonnais for L’Equipe, Hugo Guillemet wanted to temper this information. “Infect, the word is poorly chosen. He’s not a bad person.” he replied to Romain Molina, before clarifying his comments following a question from an Internet user. “’Very whole, clumsy’ I would rather say… But I understand that Romain tweets about this, there may indeed be a subject but (for me) nothing serious”added Hugo Guillemet.
