There is no need to say, failing to take pleasure in front of the Nice-Lyon purgeasse, Sunday evening, at the end of the third day of Ligue 1, we will at least have a good laugh. Both on the field, with sequences of “game” sometimes properly hallucinating, but also outside, or almost, as was the case during the break, when all of the Lyon substitutes were asked to warm up .
And how ! On the program, players put in pairs, one throwing the ball by hand towards his teammate, the other returning it to him with the flat of his foot. Exercises well known to educators in the young categories (very young) but which we are not used to seeing in pro, even less at half-time of a match.
“The Laurent Blanc football school”
And if the Twittos had a great time making fun of this very school warm-up, they weren’t the only ones laughing. On Prime Video, in full live, the former Parisian Edouard Cissé could not believe it. “It’s quite surprising to see that,” said the consultant. We do this at football school or on recovery to work a little on technical and tactical sensitivity. It’s a small message sent… to whoever wants. “The Laurent Blanc football school,” laughed our colleague Thibault Le Rol.
On arrival, what would almost be like a session of humiliation in front of the thousands of supporters of the Allianz Riviera of Nice will not have been of much use. Indeed, Laurent Blanc will only make three changes, all at the end of the game, with the entries of Tino Kadewere (71st in place of Amin Sarr), Skelly Alvero (71st in place of Ainsley Maitland-Niles) and of Mohamed El Arouch (89th in place of Rayan Cherki), without this changing anything in the face (pale) of his team.
