Stuck in the soft underbelly of the Ligue 1 classification, Olympique Lyonnais can approach the Coupe de France as an enchanted parenthesis.

His team is still very imperfect, but he is awaiting confirmation of his progress against LOSC on Wednesday. ” We know that the Coupe de France is the shortest route for Europe, it’s not me who says it, it’s a well-known adage »also dropped the Gones coach in front of the press.

Opposite, it is an unpredictable Lille team which will present itself. A formation praised for the quality of its game, but sometimes weighed down by its inefficiency. Blanc again: “I looked at this (Monday) morning the game we played against Lille (1-0, October 30). They have a good squad and they play well, they are a major team in our Championship. Without the ball, we will have to be organized but with it, we will have to show percussion and movement. This week we will play against two teams from the North (Lille then Lens) who deserve their ranking. ” The stage is set.
