OL have fallen back into their ways. After having obtained three successes in their last four Ligue 1 matches, Lyon thought they had succeeded in restarting the machine. And the first period against Auxerre this Friday evening was rather very positive since the Lyonnais returned to the locker room with the advantage. But then in the second act, OL showed a rather smug face, less concerned and lost the thread of the match by conceding two goals in two minutes and conceding defeat against the 19th in Ligue 1.
An intolerable attitude according to Dejan Lovren as he explained at the microphone of Prime Video. “The fans are behind us and I want to thank them for that. Even when we lose, it’s important. I’m sorry for those who came tonight. Our second half is unacceptable. We didn’t show character. We dropped the first minutes. It’s not enough, we haven’t shown our balls… We think they’ll let us win. We are stupid to think like that. We need to work and talk. We don’t have consistency. We play well against the big teams, but against them… I don’t want to say that they are not great, but we were bad tonight, at least in the second half.. A thought shared by another executive of the group, Maxence Caqueret, in stride.
“We have no right to make these mistakes”
“Our start to the second half is catastrophic. We lose 2-3 balls that we shouldn’t lose, which are linked by two goals. We have no right to make these mistakes, I think we had the game in hand. We were leading 1-0, we had a good first half so it’s unacceptable, that’s for sure. When we see our loss of balls, I think it’s concentration, I don’t see what else it can be. There is no other word, it’s unfortunate because we were on a good streak, we were trying to come back and we recover a blow by our fault, and it’s even more frustrating. We lacked aggression, they came on stronger in the second half with a better mentality. And in this kind of matches, it does not lie. Unfortunately, we were not able to measure up on this point and we can only blame ourselves.confided the young Lyon midfielder.
A clear and lucid observation on the part of Rhone executives which is probably necessary. On the 24th day, OL are still 9th in Ligue 1 and can drop one place if Reims win this weekend. A ranking far from the standing that is this historic club of the French championship. He will therefore once again correct the situation in the coming days to bounce back. And it will still be without Lacazette, still injured. Next match against the red lantern Angers within a week. But Europe is moving further and further away.
