This is the second defeat in two matches for the Rhone team, who are experiencing difficulties at the start of the season.
Present at the post-match press conference, Lyon coach Pierre Sage expressed concern about the performance of his players in these first two league matches.
“I’m not necessarily worried about the results, I’m more worried about the performances that generated those results. We have to make sure that the team plays better. That, when it has the ball, it takes the initiative to hurt the opponent, rather than playing too lateral, with little intensity. In Rennes, I told you that in the first half I wasn’t really disappointed with the preparation, today (Saturday) there was no progress while that was one of the stakes of this match. We missed that turn. We have to stay together, to make sure that things progress,” he told reporters after the meeting.
Bouncing back against Strasbourg
Will Lyon reproduce the same start to the season as last season? For now, the Gones are going straight there. With two defeats in two games, Alexandre Lacazette’s partners must bounce back.
And this from the next day in front of their public against RC Strasbourg. A victory would allow them to breathe and start and stop the negative spiral. A new setback would already plunge OL into crisis…
