Last Saturday, Amel Majri had the pleasure of celebrating his first start of the season with Olympique Lyonnais. The occasion was great since it was a derby against Saint-Étienne, a necessarily special match for a player trained at the club, and which ended in a flamboyant victory (11-0). The performance of the left-hander, who played the entire match, was also enhanced by a goal, the fifth for his team during this match, and his second of the season, after having opened his account the previous week at Guingamp (8-0).
If she is therefore not a starter at the start of the season in Joe Montemurro’s team, Majri (31 years old) is one of those who count for the Australian technician, who tries to involve as many players as possible, like the highlighted Vanessa Gilles yesterday. “ One of the strengths of our team is the quality of our workforcecommented the Canadian defender. Everyone is involved in the game.” Montemurro knows that the season will be long for his team, which aims to achieve the Champions League – Championship – Coupe de France treble, and that he will need his best players, including Majri, who does not want to resolve to settle for a substitute place.
