Relaunched against Feignies Aulnoye, Maxence Caqueret completely missed his half-time. The midfielder was replaced during the break, proof of his status which has wavered at OL in the space of two months. Find the best and the flop of Olympique-et-Lyonnais.
The flop: Caqueret can't do it anymore…
Some will say it's easy to hit a player who doesn't have rhythm. Only, Pierre Sage had clearly sent messages Thursday at a press conference. Not being obliged to make turnovers, he still offered an opportunity for some to show themselves. And why not be rewarded against Montpellier to the recovery in 2025 if the attitude was appropriate. Without taking too much risk, we can argue that He would lie down will not find a starting place in Ligue 1 on January 4. He had had to settle for crumbs for two months, being overtaken in the OL midfield hierarchy by Tanner Tessmann.
This Saturday, the game of He would lie down was limited to 45 minutes. And again, one wonders if the Lyon midfielder entered his match at any point… It is often said that the first pass for a midfielder conditions his match, this was more than ever true for the former Espoir. In the space of ten minutes, he lost the majority of his balloons. With his head underwater and not only in Valenciennes, Maxence Caqueret finished the first half with 15 lost balls (27%). With yellow in the 39th, Pierre Sage had seen enough and took the opportunity to reorganize his team at the break with the entry of Cherki and a change to 4-2-3-1.
The best: Benrahma, messy, but doubly decisive
This is the paradox with Saïd's match Benrahma. Based on the player's pure performance, it's difficult to put him as OL's best player this Saturday evening in Valenciennes. Like his 33% loss of balls in the first half, the Algerian was upside down for 45 minutes. However, his magnificent curled ball in the 44th minute was of capital importance. That of putting the Lyonnais in front and sinking the situation a littleAgreement Feignies Aulnoye. A little better in the second with the entry of Rayan Cherki, Benrahma finished returning a statistical record with an assist for Georges Mikautadze. In an evening that was complicated in more than one way, whether collectively or individually, it was difficult to do better for Saïd Benrahma in this victory (1-2).
