Dubbed by the supporters at the end of the derby, Lucas Perri scored points in the hearts of the fans thanks to his saves against Saint-Etienne (1-0).

It would be unfair to say that he was not appreciated by OL supporters before Sunday evening. Against Saint-Etienne, Lucas Perri played his 18th match with the Rhone tunic, and he probably received the best ovation since his debut in the team. It must be said that if Peter's men Sage took the three points against the Greens, they of course owe it to Alexandre Lacazettebut also to the Brazilian goalkeeper.

The public was not mistaken when they warmly congratulated him after his parade.fablese” (Nicolas Puydebois In As long as there are Gone) in front of Ibrahim Sissoko. It must be said that without his save in the 76th minute, or the one in added time, it is far from obvious that OL would have won. And what's better than a decisive gesture in a derby to be definitively adopted by your fans? Even more when we take over from Anthony Lopesof which we know the love shown to him by the members of the supporter groups.

After the match, while the players greeted the stands, his name was also proclaimed by the jubilant spectators. A fair return of things because without this intervention, “we are not smiling this Monday“, as recalled by the former goalkeeper, three times French champions (2003-2005). “They saw the same thing as us. I'm very happy that they chanted his name.”rejoiced Pierre Sage.

All this came to crown a moment that the 26-year-old will remember “for life“. He still makes a few mistakes, notably on his kicks or in his aerial outputs, but we cannot deny that Perri also brought points to OL at the start of the season. We remember by elsewhere of his saves against Strasbourg in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de during the penalty shootout last February.

A sign that he is getting his bearings in Lyon, he answered questions in French for the first time after Sunday's game. He will not forget Lopes, who kept these cages for more than a decade, but through his performance, the ex-member of Botafogo is gradually making his place in the hearts of the Lyonnais. It is now up to him to keep this love story alive through his performances.
