Proof that the climate is far from serene at the moment, the Olympique Lyonnais coach hastily left the press room this Friday after ten short minutes spent in front of the media and while some journalists still had a few questions to ask. ask him. “It’s good ? I see you and you have no more questions to ask. I am leaving. Bye. No, but it is you who decide to talk about Troyes after ten minutes… So thank you and goodbye”dropped the Lyon coach before getting up calmly and heading for the exit.

The message did not get through
Last week, Laurent Blanc had already shown slight signs of annoyance for the same reasons. His little clarification at the start of the press conference did not have the desired effect. “The transfer window is over and we have the squad that will end the season. We will work and the players will not change. We already had a press conference on the transfer window so don’t keep talking to me about the transfer window now. Let’s talk about something else. If you ask me any more questions about the transfer window, I’m leaving (smile)”he warned.
The Coupe de France in sight
Olympique Lyonnais, which has experienced a rather lively transfer window in both directions, will have to achieve an exceptional second half of the season to get a European ticket at the end of the season. Will the arrivals of Dejan Lovren, Jeffinho and Amin Sarr be enough to raise the bar? Difficult to say as the evil seems deep in this Lyon collective. Salvation may come through a possible victory in the Coupe de France…
