Lyon: Say a second time against Arsenal – Football

In the event of summer preparation, Olympique Lyonnais also logically faces Arsenal (0-2) and wins the Emirates Cup. Lyon coach Pierre Sage appreciated his team’s performance in the first half a little, and let his players know at half-time.

« I have pretty much the same feeling as after the Coupe de France final (1-2 defeat against PSG), where we were outclassed in the first half in all areas of the game. We didn’t get the ball out, and as soon as we recovered it, we couldn’t follow up. Twice, we could have scored, but it would have been surprising. Our first tactical aspect is not enough in a match. , other aspects must be highlighted. The second half was of better quality, confided the Gones coach to OL Play.

« There was still a reaction. But this match clearly shows the difference between this type of team and us at the moment, adds Sage. Our game responds to certain contexts and not others. Against an opponent of this quality, we have not yet managed to show ourselves up to par. On the other hand, I tell myself that the team is ready for the opponents. I think that in Ligue 1, all the teams we will face will not have the skill of Arsenal. » OL’s first opponent, the champions of Rennes, is now the next one.
