After a home defeat against Besiktas and a draw in Germany against Hoffenheim, Olympique Lyonnais must absolutely move forward in the European Cup. This Thursday, Les Gones, who are currently in ninth place in the rankings, travel to the end of Europe, to Azerbaijan, 3,500 kilometers from the Rhône to face Qarabag. An inevitably special duel, particularly due to the distance from Baku, the capital of the country, which constitutes one of the longest possible trips for a European Cup match.
“We have to play well and win”
But that doesn't really seem to bother Pierre Sage. In a video posted on the team's social networks, the coach is asked about the weather in Azerbaijan, a non-issue for him: “What's the weather like there? We don't care. We're going there to play a football match. The best match possible. Rain, wind, thunder, we have to play well and always win.” he launched, looking particularly motivated. Enough to launch this beautiful poster.
