Does he OL resumed his game?
After three disappointing performance in Saint-Etienne (3-0), against Reims (2-1) and Annecy face the Evian TGFC (2-3), Lyon have regained color in the game. For sequences, they returned to the movement and sequences that were their force since September. With eight home-grown players at kick-off, they posted their automation and have created a lot of chances throughout the match (23 shots, 12 on target, his best total of the season in L1). But they have not been effective in the box to shelter earlier in the game and avoid (small) scares early in the second period. Another negative point Lyon side, the excitement of a defense that does not look like comprehensive insurance in recent weeks. A def ect to be corrected quickly not be to punish Bordeaux next weekend.
How was the return of Rémy Vercoutre Gerland?
A match like no other for Rémy Vercoutre. After eleven seasons at Lyon, Caen keeper returned there for the first time since leaving last summer. Very busy during the pre-game, in which he slammed kisses-for-all, the former Strasbourg did not take long to get into the game. This is illustrated in the fourth minute on a shot from Nabil Fekir easily captured, before cashing a penalty Alexandre Lacazette (7th). Vercoutre then multiplied stops (12th, 32nd, 51st) to concede the goal of the break on a missile of French international striker (57th).
A new abandoned by his defense on achieving Yassine Benzia (62nd), Vercoutre did nothing wrong on the night. He even stopped a penalty from Fekir (76th) and prevented his family from falling late in the game (79th, 86th, 90th). He managed nine saves against Lyon, only Rudy Riou did better during a league game this season (11 against Lorient). But the former Montpellier is now in eleven goals conceded in his last three outings. It’s getting a lot … For consolation, he received a nice ovation from the audience Gerland. Not sure that this is enough to heal the wounds of a very difficult evening.
Since when Lyon had not chained eight straight wins at home?
have to go back to 2001 to find traces of such a series of OL on the lawn Gerland. Les Gones were then chained eight wins in a row in Ligue 1, from March to September. The Lyonnais are thus the best championship in front of their audience, with 27 points out of 30 possible and gleaned a difference largely favorable goals (20). Demonstrate their excellent current form, teammates Maxime Gonalons have scored at least three goals in five of their last seven home outings L1. With nine wins at home, they have already exceeded their total from last season (8). Gerland is one of the impregnable fortresses of our championship.
Bartolomeu Varela he has made the right decisions?
The referee of the meeting has alternated good and less good in this encounter. It was first awarded a penalty to Lyon for a non-existent foul on Peter Fekir (6th). The Lyon environment has yet grossly initiated the contact with the Caen defender. If M.Varela erred in favor of Gones that time, he “re-balanced” discussions about twenty minutes later (31st). Seube dried Benzia the box, but the referee gave a corner … the men of Hubert Fournier. The whistle was finally inspired to give a penalty justified in Lyon for an offense Jordan Adeoti, still on Fekir. But he stumbled on Vercoutre in translating the sentence.
How many penalties conceded Caen since the beginning of the season?
With both whistled against them Friday, the Caen in now total eleven. A record in the five major European leagues, since they have conceded six more than any other club. This incredible statistic that already equal the record of a team throughout a season since qu’Opta analysis Ligue 1 (Toulouse last season), teammates Lenny Nangis owe much to their clumsiness in their own surface than inconvenient whistles of the referees. Of the eleven penalties, at least four were kindly given to opponents of Caen. But the result is there. With so much ammunition available to his opponents, Stade Malherbe can hardly consider the maintenance end of the season.
Where is Alexandre Lacazette in the European hierarchy? Author
his second double in five days, after it succeeded in Annecy against Evian TGFC last Sunday Alexandre Lacazette became the second top scorer of the five major European leagues. Already matching the best performance in L1 of his career, he passed by Sergio Aguero, totaling fourteen achievements and no longer trails only Cristiano Ronaldo, which sits at the top of the standings with 25 units on the meter. The Lyon striker is so in the tempo of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had seventeen goals to his name after eighteen days in his first season in Ligue 1, in 2012/2013. The Swede had then ended the year with thirty achievements. A total that would not displease Lacazette. This is also the first French to have as marked after eighteen meetings in the league since … Bernard Lacombe, 1977/1978. Lacazette succeeds who is now an adviser to the President. A beautiful handover for Lyonnais.
