The season started badly for OL. Already not very reassuring during the pre-season, Olympique Lyonnais began its return to Ligue 1 with a first defeat on the lawn of Strasbourg, this Sunday evening. It was also the first time in ten years that the Lyon club lost its opening match, in L1. However, the content was quite interesting from Laurent Blanc’s men, but defensive errors and a lack of realism in front of goal got the better of the result, in favor of the Alsatians.
After the meeting, the frustration was logically present. But it was not Laurent Blanc who raised his voice, but Rayan Cherki, from the height of his 19 years. “There is a lot, a lot of disappointment. We are fed up ! I want to say that it is neither the fault of the staff or the coach, but it is us on the ground. There is always a detail that prevents matches from being won. There is anger, disappointment… it is immense”he first mentioned on Prime Video.
Rayan Cherki raised his voice
“We worked a month and a half for this match, I don’t know what to say, we mustn’t lose, that’s all. We will concentrate against Montpellier with other intentions. The state of mind was there, on the contrary, we wanted to start the season well. But this thing is still missing, to bend the match. The opponents fold the matches against us, in five minutes. We will have to change that quickly. We are OL, we have to be at the top. We will have to continue like this and be solid defensively.added Cherki.
Usually rather discreet in front of the media, the young international Espoirs explained himself and confided a fed up. “This is not a new Rayan Cherki you see. It’s just that I’m tired of coming after matches and saying “it’s a shame, that’s how it is, etc”. We are Olympique Lyonnais, we must be at the top, period”. The message has the merit of being clear and the Lyonnais will have to pull themselves together for the first of the season at Groupama Stadium, against MHSC.
