The Lyon president confides in particular about his ambitions regarding the development of the club. John Textor wants to rely on youth and “made in OL” in order to build a competitive team in the years to come. By betting on players attached to the badge. “When I arrived, there were three young players from our training center who wanted to leave. They were nice, I spoke with them but he spoke of OL as a training club. It was nonsense. I want players who want to play for the team and be competitive with us in the championship,” explains the American leader.
Before continuing, with a strong message: “If young people from our academy want to play for PSG, let them go! I want them to dream of becoming the next Juninho, Benzema or Fekir. I want to build a team so that “She's a champion. It was different. So I maintain that selling the best to PSG is not our model…”
