Entering for the last half hour against Besiktas (0-1) Thursday in the Europa League, Maxence Caqueret was unable to prevent the home defeat of Olympique Lyonnais. The midfielder was even involved in the conceded goal. A scenario already seen this season during the clash against Olympique de Marseille.
We can speak of a cruel defeat for Olympique Lyonnais. The Rhone club, which remained on five consecutive victories in all competitions, did not deserve to lose against Besiktas on Thursday in the Europa League. Les Gones created enough clear chances to clearly win in this meeting. They could even have folded the match in the first period during which the Turks had already conceded 17 shots.
Caqueret's failed entries
This lack of efficiency inevitably annoyed coach Pierre Sage, as well as the supporters who were particularly upset against a particularly clumsy Saïd Benrahma. But the Algerian international can rest assured, he is not the only target of fans on social networks. Launched in the 65th minute in place of Tanner Tessmann, who was putting in a good performance, Maxence Caqueret missed his entry. A few minutes after his appearance, Gedson Fernandes scored the only goal of the match on a pass from Rafa Silva, absolutely not bothered by the very passive Olympique Lyonnais midfielder.
His behavior recalls his nonchalance on Marseillais Jonathan Rowe's goal in the final moments of Olympico (2-3 defeat). Maxence Caqueret then entered in the 67th minute, when his team was still leading 1-0. In other words, its two disappointing entries caused Olympique Lyonnais to lose four points in all competitions. It is difficult to see how the executive could regain his starting place with this kind of performance. Fortunately for him, the turnover put in place by Pierre Sage should allow him to start meetings. Maybe even from Sunday against AJ Auxerre.
