On the eve of the match against Frankfurt in the Europa League and five days before that against PSG, Pierre Sage appeared satisfied with the current situation of his club.
“We are at the altitude we wanted”Lyon coach Pierre Sage said on Wednesday on the eve of a match against Eintracht Frankfurt on the 6th day of the Europa League, before traveling to the Parc des Princes on Sunday to challenge PSG. Three days before the end of the C3 league phase, the German club is currently 3rd, while Olympique Lyonnais is 7th. The first eight are directly qualified for the round of 16. “To get to this altitude, we had to take quite a few steps. Whether in the league or in this European Cup, it seems to me that we did it effectively. We are at another level (…) we will manage Frankfurt and depending on what happens, we will apprehend Paris. Sage said at a press conference.
“There is no logic over two matches. There is a step logic. We pass the first and depending on this, we will focus on the second”continued the Lyon coach. Since their defeat against Marseille (3-2) on September 22, OL have only lost once in their last fourteen matches, against Besiktas Istanbul (1-0) in the Europa League. “On the opponent, there is always potential value and displayed value. We will see during the match but Eintracht are among the most competitive teams we have met since the start of the season. However, we are ready to play this type of match because we also faced the big names in our championship,” added Pierre Sage.
