The game: OL suffered too
A 4-3-3 excessively low, ultra-compact, built for cons: the plan had worked perfectly in Valencia (0-2). Sunday, Lyon strategy did not last long. It shattered against the Parisian efficiency. In a quarter of an hour, PSG made the difference, embodying its total control of the early game.
The web of Kevin Trapp rebalanced somewhat the discussions. OL is gradually out of his reserve. He even attacked the second period in the Parisian camp. The intention was commendable. It is evaporated in the last half hour.
Players: Ibra-Di Maria, duo
No doubt, they found the great Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Sunday evening, the Swede has offered another double. His 26th with PSG. Beyond its effectiveness, the Parisian striker was in the oven and the mill. At his side, the left leg of Angel Di Maria has done wonders. The Argentine has punctuated his evening three assists. Scorers, Serge Aurier and Edinson Cavani have meanwhile been rewarded for their sacrifice.
Di Maria against Lyon – Panoramic
Difficult, however, not to mention Kevin Trapp: German goalkeeper is still shown. His canvas was the gift to put Lyon in the saddle. After those committed against Bordeaux (2-2) and Madrid (1-0), it starts to do much.
His Lyon counterpart, he pulled out all the stops. Without Anthony Lopes prowess before Ibrahimovic (4th) and Di Maria (48th), OL would have received even more significant correction. For, once again, its central hinge betrayed him. Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa offered the first goal to Ibrahimovic. And marking Jérémy Morel on the purpose of Serge Aurier clearly inadequate. Aligned on the left flank of the attack, Clément Grenier alternated technical accuracy in the game and wastes on set pieces.
What could have changed everything
Honestly ? Not much. If not perhaps better aligned Lyon defense. In the 4th minute, we felt how the central axis of the OL would suffer. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has lost his duel before Anthony Lopes. Same scene in the beginning of the second half, when Angel Di Maria, launched by a long opening of David Luiz, stumbled on the Lyon goalkeeper. To believe that the OL is not working the bench in training …
Weekend stat: 48
PSG already has 48 points. A win at Caen on Saturday, Paris and exceed the highest total from one phase to go: in 2006-2007, Lyon had surpassed the 50 points.
The tweet that sees Aulas as president … PSG
The declara: Anthony Lopes, the guardian of Lyon, in the micro Canal +
“At this rate there, they will be champions in February.”
The question: Can hold Fournier
?
There are about ten days, Jean-Michel Aulas had clearly assumed we spoke to sack coach. Since then, the new OL lost two matches in Ligue 1 before Angers (0-2) and Paris (5-1). The start glimpsed in Valencia (0-2) has not changed that. It was useless: Lyon was already eliminated from all European competition.
The slap received Sunday night is ultimately a logical sequence to Lyon ailments in recent weeks. Absences of Umtiti, Jallet, Valbuena and Lacazette does not excuse everything. The balance of the OL 5 over its last days is catastrophic: 4 losses, 14 goals conceded only one point taken.
At the rate that is currently his, Lyon is not a candidate in the Champions League. See 6th today at 5 points of the podium, meets implacable logic. And rests a question: Hubert Fournier can remain on the bench Rhone? The future of Lyon coach will be written over with a question mark. It seems sealed. Whatever the organization, whatever instructions, regardless of the opponent, their players do not respond. And it lasts for a while.
Jean-Michel Aulas, he does not hide his skepticism. Change during the season coach is not in his habits. But Sunday night, the microphone of Canal +, the Lyon president dropped the phrase, fraught with meaning: “If I was not wondering, I’d professional misconduct” . Especially in less than a month, he will inaugurate its stage of Enlightenment.
