Olympique Lyonnais struck hard by recruiting Georges Mikautadze during the transfer window, but after two months of competition, the Georgian striker is still silent. And that is not OL’s fault.
The one whom Lyon supporters nicknamed King George has descended from his throne, since Alexandre Lacazette is still the undisputed offensive leader of Olympique Lyonnais. It is true that the player who arrived from Metz for 18.5 million euros, while the Lorraine club had already reached an agreement with AS Monaco, did not at all justify the qualities seen with the Metz jersey and with that of the Georgia team, remaining silent in front of the goal. Even to the point of settling permanently on the sidelines. And in recent days, we have mentioned a non-sporting concern for Georges Mikautadze, Zack Nani laying his cards on the table regarding the OL scorer. But the influencer is not the only one to say that the 23-year-old striker will seriously question himself. Hugo Guillemet wrote the same thing this Sunday.
The journalist from L’Equipe, who is based at Olympique Lyonnais, explains that indeed, on the side of the OL leaders, we expect George Mikautadze to get his act together quickly. “ The 23-year-old center forward, back in his city, has not yet made the switch to high-level demands, especially when he is not at the club, and it is a milestone to pass for him », Explains our colleague, who immediately specifies that on Pierre Sage’s side, we think that number 69 can quickly return to his best level as long as he makes an effort. But like Wilfried Zaha, not included in the group for the Nantes reception, the OL coach will not give his players any gifts. To be in the starting XI, you have to show it every day in training, and have a professional attitude outside of it too. A word to the wise, hello.
