Interview by Jeremy Laugier at Aix-les-Bains

Hubert Fournier seemed more concerned Wednesday by the hamstring injury to Achilles Rachid Ghezzal by a second defeat in four days, this time against PSV Eindhoven (0-2).

What’s missing for now at OL to make difference against Sion (0-1) and Endhoven (0-2)?

It was first performed 20-25 minutes with rhythm. It just lacked a little explosion in the last 30 meters. We struggled to start following the judgment drink (on 23 minutes).



OL has really been in trouble in the second half …

With team to over 50% of young people who played the Gambardella Cup last season, it was indeed more complicated. Yet in front, PSV was very young too and we still see a lot of differences.



These young they show their limits?

Yes, we must be realistic, the bar for a bit too high now. It shows young people all the work they have left to do to qualify to win playing time in the first team.



How is the preparation for the rest of the group, and especially for you International having joined in Crans-Montana?

We climb gradually. The season really starts with the reception of AC Milan (Saturday at 20:45 at Gerland) and the return of our international. There were three tonight (Corentin Tolisso, Yassine Benzia and Mehdi Zeffane) who brought us more control and binder. I am confident that it will go up a tone with them.
