Lyon has everything you need to believe – Sport365.fr

“It’s a beautiful evening ideally concludes this phase go. It will enable us to display ambitions for return matches. “The broad smile Hubert Fournier after the success of Lyon to Bordeaux Sunday (5-0) speaks volumes. Not only Gones blew the Girondins on the Chaban-Delmas lawn but they also stripped PSG for second place. They go and spend the holidays well in hot, interspersed between Marseille, autumn champion, and the Parisian club. “It is a great pride to lead this team since July breath Fournier. We went through difficult times, it is even more rewarding to have spent together. We appreciate all the more nights like tonight. “

Lyonnais indeed pointed to the seventeenth in the standings after four days of the championship. They had chained three straight setbacks in Ligue 1 late August and left the Europa League from the dams, stumbling on the dark FC Astra (1-2, 1-0). Proof that the Romanian obstacle was not insurmountable, the executioner of the OL has since left the competition, with only four points in six games during the group stage. The crisis was brewing while at Gerland and the implosion seemed near. Especially when Maxime Gonalons had openly questioned the physical preparation in the wake of a home defeat against Lens (0-1). “You have to ask the right questions, the preparation was certainly not in keeping with the high level” was released including the Lyon captain. He and his coach had pointed cell performance, setting up this summer by President Jean-Michel Aulas.

 

We phew Ol female 0l Girondins 4/0 5/0 1/0 wins the reserve too. I love my club and my players best supporters!

Three months later, the clouds seem far away, even if Anthony Lopes refuses to get carried away. “We continue our merry way. It is especially important to stay grounded because it comes from far away. It will start in 2015 as it has done, “wants the Lyon goalkeeper. That is to say, as the best team in France, simply. OL has won nine of its last eleven matches in Ligue 1 for a draw and a defeat. In this series, the Rhodaniens be leaders in Ligue 1 with 28 points, four ahead of PSG. They have passed all the tests against their direct competitors in the race for the podium, except the shipwrecked Geoffroy Guichard against Saint-Etienne (3-0). Corentin Tolisso teammates dominated Monaco (2-1) and Marseille (1-0) at home, brought back a zero Parc des Princes (1-1). As many results that demonstrate their ability to maintain top billing over time.

The Bar, Lyon have recovered their homegrown products. On the lawn of Chaban-Delmas on Sunday eight-grown players were holders. A habit now at OL. "This is a generation in progress, it takes confidence," says Fournier. She practices an attractive football, that the figures confirm.

It was a beautiful autumn champion with Marseille, who has shown great consistency in this phase to go. It was not our case. And the title is normally promised to PSG. But if he does not want it, he will have a champion. Then we will see if we are still in the race in April. "A sign could dream Rhodaniens.
