Olympique Lyonnais is officially back in the race for Europe and even the podium at the end of this international break. In good shape before the second meeting of the season, OL rode on their good momentum this Sunday with a clear and flawless victory away against Le Havre.
A 4-0 success synonymous with a fifth success in a row in all competitions and which puts Les Gones just four points off the podium and OM. A situation which has something to satisfy Pierre Sage and his group who are preparing the return of the Europa League with a shock against Besiktas which promises to be hot.
The Wilfried Zaha mystery
However, if OL are doing better it is not particularly due to the impact of Wilfried Zaha on the field. Arriving in the final moments of the summer window in the form of a paying loan of 3 million euros from Galatasaray, this recruitment could be seen as a good move for Pierre Sage. But after almost two months of competition, Zaha only played 76 minutes of play and was not included in the squad for the last two matches against FC Nantes and Le Havre.
Wilfried Zaha va quitter l’OL ?
If his performances do not correspond to expectations, neither does his behavior since the day after the victory against the Canaries, Wilfried Zaha had created a new controversy by skipping training. The observation therefore seems clear, Wilfried Zaha presents himself more like a pebble in Pierre Sage’s shoe than as a future essential element.
Especially since Pierre Sage has already criticized him in public during his appearance in After Foot where he declared: “I told him that we had recruited Wilfried Zaha, so we would like to have Wilfried Zaha” . It remains to be seen if at this rate, the player will finish the season in Lyon or if he will look for a new project or a return to Türkiye this winter.
