Lyon has its back against the wall again after an extremely disappointing first period (0-0)…

2023-12-20 20:37:40

9:46 p.m.: Come on, let’s take a little warm break on this. Cow, 59% possession in favor of… FC Nantes at half-time. This is the stat of the match!

9:45 p.m : Clinton Mata on Prime Video: “Things are not going as planned today. We will have to be more technically fair.”

45th: There you go, half time on that. Benoît Bastien did not leave a second of added time, and we understand that perfectly.

44th: Flute, we were hoping for some comments from you to feel a little less isolated in our boring evening, but wow. No thanks friends.

43 e : We’re heading slowly but surely towards half-time, so what a life!

39e : Nantes is sometimes sharp all the same: Mollet tries his luck but his shot is not crazy and O’Brien, on the trajectory, pushes back.

37e : In any case, this evening, OL’s 5-2-3 looks like a 3-4-3, it must be recognized, especially given the fairly offensive role of Clinton Mata on the right.

35th: Golden ball from Ernest Nuamah (he still brings life) towards Lacazette. Archi alone, the triple scorer of the match against Toulouse completely crushes his head, and instead of being shot at point blank range, Lafont has a U7 save to make. Well, the VAR would perhaps have intervened anyway because Lacazette seemed to be at the extreme limit of offside.

33rd: This is the best chance of the match so far!

Corner from Cherki and big header from Dejan Lovren. Alban Lafont deploys for a very nice Llorisian parade. Woohoo, finally something to eat!

29e : What is disappointing about this match so far: the Nantes residents are gradually gaining the upper hand in the duels and the second balls.

26e : Very surprising this offensive incomprehension between Nuamah and Caqueret. For full confidence, we will go over what we have seen so far.

23e : Meanwhile, Toulouse leads against AS Monaco (1-0), definitely very friendly with the dunces of Ligue 1 for five days…

19e : Nice Mata-Nuamah movement on the right side and the latter claims a penalty after colliding with Douglas Augusto. Mini obstruction at the time, but not at all material to peno clearly.

18e : Free kick a priori dangerous for Mollet on the left, but his attempt goes over Lopes’ crossbar.

17e : Wooooooooh the big loss of dangerous ball from Maxence Caqueret at his 30 meters. Matthis Abline took it up with quite disconcerting ease. It’s poorly exploited behind by Mollet, but OL are still not doing well there.

14th: Ouuuuuuh the good one against Nantes: Moses Simon inherits a good ball on the left wing and loses everyone in the race. Big comeback from Tolisso to counter his finish, while the Nantes striker made the mistake of procrastinating a little.

12e : OL are generally managing their subject, but it’s still a little sluggish up until then.

9e : The free kick that follows Cherki does nothing at all (understand that it was very poorly taken).

8th : Ouuuuuuuh Centonze’s big mistake on Cherki: he did well at the time, and logically takes a yellow card. First start of the season for Aristouy’s former friend.

4e : First strike largely off target from Moses Simon, who took advantage of a weird hesitation from the O’Brien-Lovren duo on the spot. The famous “solid” defense of the last two games is already in place.

2e : Not much is happening on the field yet, but the two corners are giving. Everyone seems to realize how crucial this match is in this struggling season for OL.

9:00 p.m.: Here we go!

20h58 : The Nantes squad is having a fun session before kick-off.

20h50 : We were treated before the match to images of a success (3-4) in the Coupe de France in Nantes for the Lyonnais, dating back to January 2020. With a double (plus two dice passes) from Cherki, then aged 16 years. Holy crap, it stings to remember the enthusiasm caused by this huge match on his part. Don’t worry, almost four years later, he has never delivered one of this level again… As a reminder, the video is below.

8:41 p.m.: Abline rather than Mohamed on the Nantes side

The only real surprise on the side of FC Nantes and Jocelyn Gourvennec is the presence of Abline in place of Mohamed at the forefront of the attack.

20h40 : It’s officially time for the first Mariah Carey Christmas version of the evening. You envy us, don’t you?

8:35 p.m.: Pierre Sage was obviously not going to touch a team that is winning (finally)

We left with a cautious 5-2-3 which has kept OL pretty safe for two games, with two clean sheets in a row. Well, in reality it took a save from Lopes from the penalty spot against TFC (3-0) and 54 opportunities wasted by Balogun and Fofana during the hold-up in Monaco last week (0-1), but still…

8:30 p.m.: Hello people, so let’s meet live from the fantastic tool there, for the end of this very beautiful year 2023 for OL, right?

08h30: Hello the Minutes!

It’s here, the final multiplex day of the calendar year that you’ve been waiting for so much under the tree. Mulled wine atmosphere, papillotes and goal bag by the fireplace? That’s all we’re asking for our last of 2023 at Parc OL, where Olympique Lyonnais are pulling off a funny stunt when we least expected it. Namely going from bottom of Ligue 1 for ages, and six points behind Toulouse (15th) on the 14th day, to 16th and play-off only one point behind Téfécé two weeks later.

Suffice it to say that a third victory in a row, this Wednesday (9 p.m.) against Nantes (11th), after those against Toulouse (3-0) and Monaco (0-1), would undoubtedly be synonymous with leaving the red zone. for the winter break. And this even before the significant January transfer window scheduled by John Textor and his gang. The dynamic would suddenly be completely different from the gloomy one at the beginning of December (a success in 14 days), when Alexandre Lacazette and his team were heading straight into Ligue 2. We will see this Wednesday if the Pierre Sage effect is confirmed, five days after the unexpected victory/pointed to Louis II.

>> Meet us from 8:30 p.m. at Parc OL, before a scheduled kick-off at 9 p.m., like on all the grounds of our Talent League.
