OL’s Sporting Crisis: Lyon Executives Struggle as Corentin Tolisso Reflects on Club’s Struggles

On the ground, Lyon executives are having difficulty. Outside, at least, they are not hiding: Anthony Lopes appeared very quickly in the mixed zone following OL’s new defeat in Reims (0-2) – the 5th in 7 days of L1 -, and Corentin Tolisso, despite his replacement by Lepenant (53rd), returned to confide in Amazon Prime following another defeat which left him totally distraught.

His voice wavered, and tears were not far away, as he spoke of the situation of his training club: “What is happening is hard, really hard. We don’t have the right to be where we are… I don’t know what to tell you… Of course I’m touched. Since I was little, I have been an OL supporter, and I have never seen OL in this position. And for me, being a professional footballer at Olympique Lyonnais and putting the club in this position, it hurts me more than anything. »

He seems to play with apprehension

But the 2018 world champion is also, reluctantly, one of the symbols of the sporting crisis. If he plays matches for the first time in several seasons, he does so at a pace and with an intensity that keeps him quite far from his best level.

His technical influence is sometimes positive, but his start to the season is frankly complicated, whatever role his coaches entrust to him. Seen from above, he seems to play with apprehension, taking precautions with his supports, when it comes to changing direction or quickly following up with a shot. His muscle memory is also that of his injuries.

This Sunday, in Reims, Fabio Grosso thought that things would go better without him, following asking him to play high, a little unnatural, rather with his back to the game. The problem for OL is that his replacements are generally unable to seize their chance. Neither Johann Lepenant, nor Skelly Alvero, yesterday, nor Ainsley Maitland-Niles, have shown, yet, that they are capable of doing better than the shadow of the 2018 world champion.

Olympique Lyonnais: Struggles Continue with Defeat to Stade de Reims, Leaving Them Bottom of Ligue 1

Still no victory and a last place for Olympique Lyonnais beaten by the Stade de Reims provisional runner-up to AS Monaco in Ligue 1. Nothing is going well in Lyon. OL, last at kick-off following Clermont’s draw once morest PSG, and who have not won a match since May 27 – once morest Reims – were certainly traveling to Champagne without Alexandre Lacazette. However, it was Fabio Grosso’s men, with Rayan Cherki in the lead, who, for once, showed themselves to be the most enterprising from the outset without being dangerous.

But following a first quarter of an hour of hesitation, the Reims attacking trio began to hamper Lyon’s restarts and, following a powerful shot from Sinaly Diomandé well stopped by Yehvann Diouf (18th), Reims in turn obtained his first opportunity: Junya Ito’s recovery from the edge of a Teddy Teuma cross went over the goal (20th). When nothing happened followingwards and we entered the extra minute, Foket recovered a poor restart from Anthony Lopes before Marshall Munetsi opened the scoring with a diving header in the first post on a cross from Ito (45th + 1).

In the second half, due to a lack of reaction from his team following seven minutes of play, Fabio Grosso replaced Cherki, transparent, with Ernest Nuamah, and Corentin Tolisso, no longer in sight, with Johann Lepenant… before losing Mama Baldé to injury (68th). And to break down quickly: ball recovered in Lepenant’s feet by Teuma who crosses, Ito’s header pushed back by Lopes, second blade, still with a header, signed by captain Yunis Abdehamid (71st). Will Still’s players calmly mastered the rest and the goalkeepers were no longer worried.

With this victory, Stade de Reims climbs onto the podium in second place, one point behind Monaco while awaiting the end of this seventh day. For their part, the Lyonnais are now bottom of Ligue 1, ahead of Clermont on goal difference.

Anthony Lopes, triste record

Even if he must have been mainly concerned regarding the destiny of his team, Anthony Lopes had surely dreamed of better when it came to breaking a record. Better than this poor recovery at the origin of the first of the two Reims goals, this fifth defeat in seven games and this place at the bottom… It’s difficult to do worse. The masked Portuguese nevertheless honored his 350th Ligue 1 match, all with Lyon. Since his debut in the elite on April 28, 2013, he is the player with the most matches in L1 (349) and the most clean sheets (113). Only Grégory Coupet (370) and Yves Chauveau (420) have more matches among OL goalkeepers in Ligue 1.

6

Lyon remains on 6 trips without a victory in Ligue 1 (1 draw, 5 defeats), while it had won 4 of the previous 5 (1 draw).
The last time Les Gones had such a long away run in the top flight was in January-April 2017 (6).

Improving Defending and Tactical Awareness: Gennaro Gattuso Analyzes Monaco Defeat

Gennaro Gattuso (OM coach, beaten in Monaco, speaking to Canal +): “We can’t be happy when we lose, that’s for sure. We have to do better, we conceded three goals that we might have avoided. On one of the three, we fell asleep, on the 3rd, we were three once morest two. These are small things that need to be improved quickly, otherwise it is very difficult to win matches. I noticed the involvement on the part of the players, it’s nice. There were good things, but we have to progress.

“We have little time, we have to manage, we have to quickly understand what to do”

We should have defended better, we conceded the second goal from nine meters away, these are things that must be avoided. We can avoid them, we have to pay much more attention, be much more concentrated. We need to make progress from a tactical point of view. We made a few mistakes, but the little details made the difference. Obviously, we don’t have much time playing Europe. At the moment, we are in the European Cup, we have to play, honor the matches. It would have been much better if we hadn’t had the Europa League. We have little time, we have to manage, we have to quickly understand what to do. “

Napoli’s Dominant Victory over Lecce Propels Them to Third Place in Serie A

If, behind the scenes, the week was stormy in Naples, in open conflict with their striker Victor Osimhen, on the pitch it was fruitful. After a convincing success once morest Udinese (4-1) on Wednesday, Napoli continued in Lecce (4-0), this Saturday followingnoon, at the opening of the 7th day of Serie A. Thanks to this victory, the Neapolitans temporarily climb in third place in the ranking.

Three days before the reception of Real Madrid in the Champions League, Rudi Garcia had decided to leave Osimhen on the bench at kick-off and to start Giovanni Simeone up front. Facing an uninhibited Lecce team (6th), Napoli made their task easier by opening the score quickly, thanks to Leo Ostigard’s first goal of the season. On an eccentric free kick on the left side, Piotr Zielinski placed the ball on the head of the Norwegian defender, completely forgotten by the local rearguard (16th).

Apart from two alerts on the Neapolitan goal, a sudden strike from the right of Nikola Krstovic deflected by Alex Meret (25th) and a pivot recovery above Marin Pongracic (31st), the formation of Rudi Garcia controlled the debates and lacked nothing to widen the gap, following a marvel of collective movement concluded by a cross strike from Simeone (40th). On a delivery from Frank Anguissa, Zielinski was not more successful and saw his recovery deflected for a corner (43rd), before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s direct free kick did not find the target (45th+1)

Osimhen scores six minutes following coming on

Invited by Garcia to warm up during the break, Osimhen, who replaced Simeone at the restart, struck from the start. Found at the far post by a precise cross from Kvaratskhelia, the Nigerian, already a scorer once morest Udinese (4-1) on Wednesday, scored his fifth goal of the season with a header (51st).

Disciplined, the reigning Italian champions managed their advantage once morest a Lecce team which gave up, following seeing a goal from Gabriel Strefezza refused for a prior handball from Krstovic (57th). Before sinking at the end of the match. Staggered by Matteo Politano, Gianluca Gaetano once once more shook the nets with a sharp right-footed shot (88th), before Politano sealed the score from the penalty spot (90th+4), by opening his left foot perfectly.
