“I’m going to be careful what I say because I don’t want to slip up. » Alexandre Lacazette reflected aloud at the Canal + microphone following Lyon’s defeat in Brest this Saturday evening (1-0). In Brittany, Lyon suffered 27 shots, including 11 on target, without being dangerous on the other side of the pitch. “We suffered from start to finish, once again it’s unacceptable,” complained Maxence Caqueret on the encrypted channel. It’s a crisis, we haven’t won a single match, it’s not normal. »
Olympique Lyonnais are 16th after six Ligue 1 matches. Laurent Blanc was the first fuse to blow. If it would be cruel to shoot at his successor Fabio Grosso, who led his first match on the Rhone bench this Saturday, this new performance reassured no one. “We are playing with fear, given the situation it’s complicated,” said Lacazette. Every weekend it’s the same, we say the same things to each other and we do the same thing on the pitch. »
The Olympian captain still called for patience for his new coach. “We changed coaches because we were in crisis. We are struggling to create chances and get into the opposing area, he said. A new coach installs different methods. I think we will have to be patient with him until everyone can understand what he wants. »
“It’s not for me to say if certain players don’t give their all”
Obviously, the instructions have not yet been digested by the players. Still on Canal +, Lacazette did not want to point the finger at his teammates, without defending them. “It’s not for me to say if certain players don’t give their all, not in front of the TV. The squad is what it is, it’s not for me to judge, I’m just a player. » On Saturday, Grosso did without Rayan Cherki until the 79th minute.
If the situation is alarming, the trip to Brest was not obvious, since the Breton team is confident, and currently occupies first place in Ligue 1. OL will have to take advantage of the trip to Reims, the weekend -next end, to get started again. But his Italian coach warned observers and supporters at a press conference: the revival will not be immediate. “We know where we are, it’s a difficult moment. This is not going to change in one, two or three weeks. It takes time. It will be a very difficult journey. »
