Ligue 1: "At half-time, we would have liked to change 8 players", Lyon's big disappointment after its defeat at Lorient

End of series for Lyon.

Undefeated so far in Ligue 1, the OL players suffered their first setback of the season on Wednesday evening, losing (3-1) in Lorient.

Postponed for three weeks because of the deplorable state of the lawn at the Moustoir stadium after the interceltic festival in August, the match turned into a nightmare for the Lyonnais who lost the opportunity to catch up with Paris and Marseille at the top of the standings. League 1.

“We played against a good Lorient team but I prefer to watch my team and we defended very badly, played very badly with the ball, regretted Peter Bosz

the Lyon coach.

It has nothing to do with the OL we have seen this season.

We lost the game in the first period.

From time to time, we were dangerous, unfortunately we didn't score.

With the ball, we were very bad, and without the ball even worse.

I can't name one player responsible, it was almost all of them.

At half-time, we would have liked to change eight players, but the referee would not have agreed.

Still 4th with 13 points, the Gones are even caught by Lorient, just behind on goal difference.

Hakes who surprise and record the best start to the season in their history in the elite.

Despite intense pressing throughout the match, 67% possession of the ball, 15 shots including 7 on target, the Lyonnais fell into the trap of the Hakes' lightning counter-attacks.

And the latter were able to count on the great form of Yvon Mvogo in the cages, as well as on the power and the success found of Terem Moffi, who points to 5 goals in the last 4 games when he had stopped at 8 in all of last season.

"We knew we would have a difficult match, so it's a huge pleasure to bring so much joy to the supporters, savors Régis Le Bris, the coach of Lorient.

We had to be extremely compact, close the spaces, and we did it really well.

The few centimeters we left were exploited, but there was always a foot, a thigh or Yvon (Mvogo) in the goal to ensure.

5th place is symbolic.

The important thing is that we take points.

We know that matches depend on very, very few things.

Today (Wednesday) these are positive details, it helps to trigger the dynamic, but we don't know what tomorrow will bring.
