Ill and only a few minutes in Lille, Georges Mikautadze spent OL's first half on the bench. The striker highlighted Pierre Sage's speech at the break.
With a double against AuxerreGeorges Mikautadze would have liked to continue. Unfortunately, an illness during the week slowed down his preparation. Although present in Lille on Friday evening, the Georgian was content with a few minutes of play despite Alexandre's complicated performance Lacazette. Pierre Sage justified this choice after the draw (1-1) but the Lyon coach already had a lot of worries to review. After the “unworthy” performance of his players in the first half, the native of Lons-le-Saunier had to raise his voice again in the locker room. “The coach spoke and put certain things back in place. We couldn't continue like that, otherwise we wouldn't succeed. declared Mikautadze after the match. We weren't going to take any points. Get into the duels and show that we are a good team because we are.”
“Better intentions in the second half”
There was also one opposite and theOL “was dominated” speak LOSC for 45 minutes. How to explain such a face when the Lyonnais were expected to turn the corner? Rock Sage doesn't have the answer, even though he had already feared these symptoms during the warm-up. From the bench, Georges Mikautadze also noticed that his teammates “did not manage to get into this match”but emphasized “the best intentions in second which allow us to score and take a point.”
