Last year, OL made a crazy comeback from last to sixth place. On this occasion, an exceptional report that will be broadcast next week was made behind the scenes of the Rhone club.
Under the leadership of Pierre Sage, Olympique Lyonnais had a totally crazy second half of the season in 2023-2024. After the appointment of the 45-year-old coach, the Gones gradually climbed from 18th place to 6th place in Ligue 1, qualifying for the Europa League. A real feat on the part of the OL coach when you know how much the team was in crisis, first with Laurent Blanc and then with Fabio Grosso. On the occasion of this comeback that will remain etched in the memory of Olympique Lyonnais supporters for a long time, The Team Channel produced an exceptional report as close as possible to the Lyon group.
This report will be broadcast on Monday evening at 9:05 p.m., but initial excerpts have been revealed on social networks. On one of them, a memorable talk by Pierre Sage caused a huge reaction. “When you go on the pitch, it’s with the intention of changing things. You want to change the world, it’s not changing a game, it’s changing the world. It’s not running 10 metres, it’s running 11 metres. It’s not I run at 20 km/h, it’s I run at 25 km/h. It’s not I make a good pass, it’s I make a great pass. Nobody in this locker room looks down, gives up and gives up. It’s a contract that we have between us. We got out of the s…, so now we give up? No no no! We’re going to score, we’re going to score! The first quarter of an hour, we have to change the world.” says the OL coach, in a daze facing his players.
Pierre Sage’s fan club resurfaces
It didn’t take much more for this extract released by the L’Equipe channel and relayed by the official Olympique Lyonnais account to revive the hype around the Rhone coach. “It’s the film of the year, stop everything”, “I like it”, “We understand now this time, the players are coming back, completely galvanized to do exploits…”, “The coach gave me chills”, “I already have chills so I can’t imagine the 23rd… A huge THANK YOU to Pierre Sage, to the staff without forgetting the players for the monstrous work!” or even “Wooo I didn’t expect that from Sage! Magnificent! Can’t wait for this doc that will give us chills” can be read on social networks, where Olympique Lyonnais supporters are fans of Pierre Sage’s attitude towards the players. There are only a few days left to wait to discover the entire report, which should not fail to be rich in nuggets and images at the heart of the OL group.
