Alexandre Lacazette remained silent against Lille, and the star scorer of Olympique Lyonnais seems to be having difficult times. For Sidney Govou, Pierre Sage will have to decide.
Alexandre Lacazette has delighted OL supporters so much for years that seeing the 33-year-old striker play a string of mediocre matches with his training club is bound to hurt the heart. Benefiting from the absolute confidence of his coach, the one who remained for two enormous seasons with Lyon has been ghostly since the start of the Ligue 1 Championship, after the Olympic Games during which he was not in the best form. Friday evening, against Lille, General Lacazette seemed completely off base, before finally giving way to Georges Mikautadze at the very end of the match. For Sidney Govoy, who knows a thing or two about scoring, the time has probably come for Pierre Sage to make decisions which will obviously not make him happy.
Lacazette on the bench, revolution at OL?
The former Olympique Lyonnais star scorer believes that faced with this huge slump from Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre Sage must question the current hierarchy, even if it means taking the risk of disrupting the OL locker room. “ Today, we see Alex a little lonely, who is having trouble putting in good performances even though he was good after the break. But a goalscorer has to score. At some point, there will be choices to make which, I hope, will not have serious consequences for the group », Explains, in Le Progrès, Sidney Govou. Because if he is always discreet, Alexandre Lacazette is a player who weighs heavily in the life of the Lyon group. And obviously, installing Georges Mikautadze in the starting position in place of the current OL captain would have a big impact that no one can deny. It’s up to Pierre Sage to make the right choice.
