Enzo Molebé, striker for OL and France U18
OL will play their 32nd final of the Coupe Gambardella in Sochaux this Sunday (2:30 p.m.). A perilous encounter in perspective against the leader of the U19 championship.
We will need to put out a very solid performance if OL want to qualify for the round of 16 of the Gambardella Cup. Winner without trembling of Racing Besançon for its entry into the running (4-0), Samy’s group bags will have a lot to do if he wants to eliminate Sochaux, his opponent this Sunday (2:30 p.m.). The meeting will take place in Doubs, a first difficulty for Les Gones.
The second is that they will compete against a leading team in the U19 championship, in which Olympique Lyonnais plays. The latter is eighth in the ranking, already eleven lengths behind the Sochaliens. The Doubiste club will therefore be the favorite of this confrontation, even if the Rhone staff will recover major elements, particularly offensively.
With Molebé and Gomes Rodriguez
He will count on Enzo Molebe (2007), author of a double in the previous round, and undoubtedly over Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez (2008). An attacking duo used to playing on the floor above. During the first leg in U19, FCSM won 3 to 0. But it was in September 2024, so the context will be very different this time, with two U18 teams opposing each other. The opportunity also for the winner to gain a psychological advantage before the confrontation at Meyzieu next weekend, again in the championship.
