Author of a decisive save at the end of the match, Lucas Perri saved OL from further disappointment against Auxerre (2-2). But these are still two points lost.
They were looking for three points and we can almost say that the players of theOL are doing almost well with the draw (2-2). This is obviously not the result that was expected on Sunday afternoon at Parc OL, but the Lyonnais did not come far from a total disaster. After the meeting, Pierre Sage wanted to highlight Lucas' good save Perri to release a ball which was heading towards goal and therefore 3-2 for Auxerre in the 97th minute. A saving save while the Brazilian goalkeeper “did not see the ball start, because I was masked when the opposing player shot”as he confided partly in French after the draw.
The stature of the Lyon goalkeeper saved a point even if he is not exempt from all criticism on the two Auxerre goals. In this meeting, Perri did not have much to do and it was primarily mental work that he had to do. “In the first half, I only made restarts, and I had to be very focused in my head to stay in the match”.
“We suffered, we conceded two goals, it’s a shame”
Assuring that he is more and more comfortable both in the Lyon cage and in his everyday life in Lyon, Lucas Perri still remains a little on the defensive when it comes to asserting himself in the air and so within its six meters. The sequence of matches should help him and on Friday, he will not be too much to help OL achieve a result in Lille. Because “Drawing at home is never very good. However, we will remain calm, maintaining the serenity in which we have been working for some time.”
