Wilfried Zaha benefits from extremely little playing time at OL and this should not bother his teammates because the Ivorian international is not really unanimous in the Lyon locker room.
Very little used by Pierre Sage since the start of the season, Wilfried Zaha has not convinced many people at Olympique Lyonnais, whether during training or his few appearances. Against Saint-Etienne this Sunday, the player on loan from Galatasaray only played five minutes, but that was enough for him to attract the wrath of Nicolas Tagliafico, just behind him in the left lane. According to information from journalist Olivier Salmon, the Argentinian international did not at all appreciate the entry of Wilfried Zaha.
The world champion criticizes the OL striker for his lack of effort on defensive returns, a low activity which contrasts with that of Malick Fofana, hyper active for 85 minutes offensively but also defensively to help his side . “The Argentine defender severely challenged his teammate on the pitch, who does not seem to have the intensity of Ligue 1” adds our colleague, confirming at the same time that Wilfried Zaha is far from unanimous among the Olympique Lyonnais players.
Tagliafico reframed Zaha against ASSE
After the victory in the derby, the Ivorian striker still spoke in the locker room, thanking his teammates for giving him victory for his birthday. A speech applauded by the OL players, who nevertheless have difficulty with the rather special temperament of the former Crystal Palace star. After three months in the capital of Gaul, Wilfried Zaha has still not found his place to the point that a departure from the winter transfer window is being considered for him. It must be said that in the offensive sector, he now seems to fall behind Mikautadze, Fofana, Lacazette, Cherki and even Nuamah.
