It crystallizes a still very lively start to the season in the ranks of theOlympique Lyonnais. Historical and emblematic goalkeeper of the Rhone club for almost a decade, Anthony Lopes was pushed out by his management this summer.
But while the Portuguese international had his name linked to certain teams such as FC Nantes or Racing Club de Strasbourg, the matter remained at a standstill and Lopes did not leave OL. A problematic situation for the Gones locker room.
“A total lack of respect”
Influential player, Anthony Lopes did not hesitate to let his frustration show publicly by relaying a banner of supporters pleading for his cause. If other OL fans criticize this attitude, some observers do not hesitate to come to Lopes’ aid, like Jérôme Rothen.
“ There is a total lack of respect, thundered the former French international. This is to make him crack. John Textor, he doesn’t care about the club and the history of the club. These players, like Lopes or others, are the ones who represent the club, who have the soul of this club within them. The problem is that Textor didn’t understand that, he didn’t understand that he couldn’t act like that. Of course it’s going to cost you money, he has one year left on his contract…“, concluded the RMC consultant, in his daily broadcast. A position that will not be unanimous among the community of Lyon supporters.
