Laurent Blanc, Lyon coach for almost a year. Panoramic.
Olympique Lyonnais lost in a warm-up match against Celta Vigo. Third defeat in a row for Laurent Blanc’s group.
Never two without three for Laurent Blanc and his men. Already defeated in the last two games, the Lyonnais lost to Celta Vigo. After two 1-0 losses against Manchester United and Molenbeek, Les Gones lost to Spain with the same result.
However, there is better in the Lyonnais. After a scare from the first minute of play and an opposing strike that did not go far from Anthony Lopes’ cage, the visitors put their foot on the ball. The Lyonnais dominated the first 30 minutes and got a few chances, thanks in particular to Alexandre Lacazette.
Reassuring in the game in the first period, the Gones fell back into their ways. In the second half, the OL players experienced several air pockets, such as on the Celta Vigo goal. Carles Perez scored in the empty goal (73rd) after a poor exit from Anthony Lopes and a misplaced defense. Despite the return of his international hopefuls – Castello Lukeba, Maxence Caqueret and Rayan Cherki who entered on the hour mark – Laurent Blanc’s players lost once again by the smallest of margins.
Third defeat in four games during this pre-season, during which the Lyonnais scored only two goals. Worrying two weeks before the resumption of Ligue 1 and a trip to Strasbourg for this first day.
