Zapping Goal! soccer club Top 10: 18th day of Ligue 1 Uber Eats
OL got out of the trap set by ASSE yesterday at Groupama Stadium through the back door (1-0). It is indeed thanks only to a penalty converted by Moussa Dembélé that the Gones have chained a second success in a row and at the same time started their rise in the L1 classification. In the game, however, it is still just as dreary.
“I remain quite perplexed at the end of this derby. Not especially from the Stéphanois, who do what they can with what they have – and God knows that on the offensive level, they have very little, analyzed Pierre Ménès on his blog. The penalty transformed by Dembélé, a priori, put Lyon on the right track. Except that rails, in Lyon there may be some at Part-Dieu but not at Groupama. So OK, they won the derby. But if we have a minimum of lucidity on the Lyon side, we can’t be satisfied with such a mush where you only score from the penalty spot. Because apart from that, Aouar had two chances and Kadewere one, all rejected by Bernardoni. And then that’s all. »
Ménès was also not kind to the overall level of ASSE despite a more positive state of mind. “Faced with an opponent as weak and lacking in confidence as ASSE, it is intolerable to release such a distressing performance. So obviously, tonight in Lyon no one cares: OL beat Sainté so it will be able to boast for a week. But the Lyonnais must realize that the problem remains and that they will not be able to win all their matches 1-0 from the penalty spot, he continued. In the camp opposite, of course it is worrying. But it has been since day one, so it’s no surprise for the Greens. Conversely for Lyon, even if the team took six points in two games, there is not a shadow of progress in the game. And then I still have trouble understanding Bosz’s choices, which puts Kadewere in before Cherki and takes out Paqueta for Shaqiri. All this is very strange and does not bode well for the future…”
Lyon wins the derby but does not reassure
After a virtual purge, OL beat Sainté and continued their rise in the standings. But in the game, it’s still so poor…https://t.co/aCyB5mYUPJ

to summarize
Pierre Ménès delivered his analysis of the 124th derby between OL and ASSE on Friday evening at the start of the 22nd day of Ligue 1 (1-0). According to him, the victory of Les Gones did nothing to help their business in the game for the future.
