Up there, in the championship of those who dream of Europe, the hole is already made and well done.
After their fourth straight defeat in Ligue 1, Sunday evening in Lens, a first since 1991, OL are in 7th place in the standings.
12 points from leader PSG, but also 10 from OM, 9 from Lorient and 8 from their evening opponent.
"It's starting to do a lot.
In fact, it was already starting to do a lot before, debriefs goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.
The reasons ?
I would love to tell you.

Something to worry about frankly, especially if we add the rather dramatic content on the ground.
Except for the OL staff itself, it seems.
After the meeting, coach Peter Bosz acted as if nothing had happened or almost.
“It was perhaps not deserved to take a point here but it was possible, he explains in a press conference.
It's hard.
Lens is a good team, playing with a lot of intensity.
With all the absentees, the players tried but we weren't able to press high, as we wanted to do.
Lens had chances, but when you lose at the end with a penalty, it's hard.
The four defeats (consecutive in L1) were different.
I don't like excuses.
But Lens is a very good team, we have a lot of absentees, almost half of the starters, that's a lot.

Does he feel threatened?
Initially pretending not to understand the question, the Dutchman then replied with a very curt "no" when the journalists asked him if he could lose his job.
For his part, as often as the boat pitches, Jean-Michel Aulas stepped up to the plate … on Twitter.
President Lyonnais denounced an "OL bashing" which "weakens us rather than helping us".
“When you want to kill your dog, you say he has rage: defeats do not reveal our team qualities, nor the options of the staff, he continues.
You have to work and earn on Friday.

@hugoguillemet when you want to kill your dog, you say he's got rage: the defeats don't reveal our team qualities, nor the staff options: you have to work and finally win on Friday OL are 7th and bashing weakens us rather than helping us: let's be strong 💪

It will indeed be imperative against Troyes at home, under penalty of changing the speeches.
