Cherki in all good moves
He is one of Lyon's revelations and he is gaining momentum in 2023. Rayan Cherki is undoubtedly the future of Olympique Lyonnais and showed it this Sunday evening.
Hard-hitting, the player trained at the OL academy has been able to refine his game. He finally serves the collective as evidenced by his superb decisive pass for Lacazette on his team's first goal, after waiting for the right moment to send his caviar.
Interesting in his short stints, he was decisive again, taking advantage of a good gap in the area to deceive Samba from close to the right, his bad foot.
An assist, a goal, a full game.
Caqueret, a precious activity
He is tireless and we have proof of that game after game.
Revealed three years ago, Maxence Caqueret has experienced periods of doubt.
But he seems to be in a good phase at the moment by being preponderant in the new dynamic of OL.
Recovering a lot of balloons, he did not hesitate to give of his person to cut the opposing offensive transitions.
But we will especially remember his high recovery followed by a precise pass for Cherki on the 2nd Lyon goal.
Without their captain, OL showed character
This meeting almost went the wrong way for Lyon.
With a nightmarish first act ending.
After being overtaken by the score (1-1), OL lost Lacazette, first scorer, to injury.
One would then have thought that the loss of its captain would lead to a difficult second period for the Rhodaniens.
Nay.
United and united, the Lyonnais showed great values in the wake of its young guard symbolized by Cherki, Barcola and co.
FLOPS
Lens has lost track
This 4th consecutive match without success in Ligue 1 for Lens highlights the difficult pass crossed by the men of Franck Haise.
A complicated period that even dates back to January 1 after his success against PSG (3-1).
Since then, the Sang et Or no longer shine with only 1 success in 5 matches.
Less physically dashing, more borrowed to finish the actions, the Lensois lost the key which allowed them to settle on the podium.
Today fourth, they will now have to whip behind Monaco and OM.
The Lensois midfielder took on the water
Usually so compact, the Artésiens seemed much less in control of their subject this evening in Lyon.
Especially in midfield.
Usually raking a lot of balls, Abdul Samed notably missed out by taking the opposing waves and losing a lot of duels.
Same observation a little higher for Thomasson, unrecognizable and not at all able to accompany the offensives.
A failing sector which did not help the RCL to achieve a result at Groupama Stadium.
