At Olympique Lyonnais (OL), the renewal with Laurent Blanc begins to take shape. The Lyonnais snatched, Sunday evening, a second consecutive victory in Ligue 1, against Lille. If the DOGUES dominated this meeting, the Gones have been much more realistic and have their first victory at home since their match of September 3, on the sixth day, against Angers (5-0).
It is on the other hand a stop for the LOSC, which had won its last three duels. True to their playing philosophy, the DOGUES multiplied the opportunities, especially in the first period, through Jonathan David. The northerners almost monopolized the ball by dominating the battle of the midfielder, while the Lyonnais struggled to find their attackers. But the Gones did not fall for it, and completely reversed the scenario on the return from the locker room.
“we really suffered”
The technical waste then went from the Lyon camp to the Lille camp. The tactical readjustment of OL, with the transition to a defense to four and the entrance of Johann Lepenant in the midfield, allowed the men of white to carry the danger in the Lille camp. “In the first period, they were better than us in the use of the ball, and we had to make changes to improve in this sector of play. We had to do because we really suffered,” said Laurent White at the microphone of Amazon Prime Video. Much more consistent in the midfield, the Gones saw their efforts rewarded with a goal from Alexandre Lacazette, eight years to day after her first goal in the Lyon jersey, against Sochaux, in 2014.

jostled, the DOGUES reacted by trying their luck in the face of Lopes goal, but they were too tender, while the Portuguese goalkeeper of OL made some decisive stops. “It’s difficult to accept, we have opportunities but we have not been fair in the last passes. We take a goal, we are not concentrated and we lose this match like that. In the first period, we have Two, three opportunities and in the second period we must score at least one goal, “reacted the Lille captain, Jose Fonte, after the meeting.
