After the French Cup match this Saturday, the Olympique Lyonnais players will be entitled to a vacation. But Pierre Sage already promises to make those who abuse the Yule log suffer.
Lyon's footballers have had hellish pace since the start of the season, with OL having Ligue 1 and the Europa League on their calendar. But, after a final meeting against Feignies-Aulnoye this Saturday in Valenciennes, Pierre Sage's players will be able to leave for a few days to take a well-deserved vacation. While the resumption of training is scheduled for December 30, the Lyon coach knows that inevitably, by spending Christmas with family or heading off to exotic and tempting destinations, certain players could be tempted to let go nutritionally. . But the Olympique Lyonnais players have been warned, as soon as they set foot at the Groupama Training Center, they will be greeted by a scale. Pierre Sage preferred prevention to cure, extra pounds will be treated without care.
OL will weigh everyone when they return from vacation
On the eve of the last match of 2024, the Olympique Lyonnais coach invited himself into his locker room for New Year's Eve and holidays. “ The player must be aware of what he is doing, and is responsible for the consequences. They need to experience things as a family, but also to take care of their business, which is often their body, and their head. It's up to them to manage that, in any case, they will be checked on their return. I won't say that it will have any effects as long as the player level remains high, but it's common sense. It's one thing for them to have fun, but two days later they'll have to be careful. Our nutritionist sent weight goals to the players », Explained Pierre Sage in order to get the message across to his players. In the meantime, the OL coach hopes above all that this final meeting in 2024 will not spoil the celebrations of Lyon supporters and that qualification will be easy against a N2 team.
