Olympique Lyonnais faced OGC Nice this Sunday on the occasion of the 13e day of Ligue 1. A meeting which turned in favor of the Gones who had fun against the Aiglons (4-1). Despite this victory, Pierre Sage was not completely satisfied with the performance of his players.
Pierre Sage did not like the attitude of his players despite the victory
Perfect week for Olympique Lyonnais who finished on a good note after their victory against Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday (1-4). A week after a frustrating draw against Stade de Reims (1-1), the Rhone club had the difficult task of relaunching against Nice in Ligue 1 this Sunday. A successful task for the Gones who won against the Aiglons with a score of 4 goals to 1. Relying on their audience at Groupama Stadium, OL were able to count on a hat-trick from Alexandre Lacazette and a goal from Jordan Veretout to win against the Riviera club. But if he is proud of the result of the meeting, Pierre Sage did not fully appreciate the attitude of his players who did not fully follow his instructions.
« I sleep well every night, but tonight the dreams will be more beautiful. My position for arbitration is the same, I am respectful. Tonight, maybe the decisions were on our side. There were many moments in the match where Nice almost came back, we were able to get the job done, but we suffered. The key to the match was pressing, that's why I insisted at half-time. I asked my players but I don't have the impression that my order was listened to. There is always a psychological side, maybe we were more relaxed”confided the Lyon coach to the microphone of DAZN.
