“The main thing is the three points.” Last night, this sentence was more relevant than ever for Olympique Lyonnais. Very poor in content, OL nevertheless snatched victory in added time against Montpellier (1-0). Not enough to satisfy Pierre Sage, very critical of his players at the DAZN microphone: “Our opponents should have opened the scoring. We did a lot of things wrong, we can't afford to be ambitious and display such poor quality of play. We'll have to watch this match again to understand what went wrong, because even if the aspects related to the game plan of the day were not present, there were habits that did not emerge.“
“A lot of things upside down” for Sage!
He then continued: “I hope it's linked to the fact that we cut a week, but we will quickly have to find solutions instead of excuses. (…) We have to take care of our game. Today, it was not the game that allowed us to win. We have work to do. The next match must make us forget this poor performance in the game and the result must be the consequence of a good match. The transfer window? We need to take care of those who are present rather than trying to strengthen a team that is unstable in its game“. OL's next match? A trip to Brest, next Saturday (5 p.m.).
