After last week’s slap in the face against RC Lens (0-3), Olympique Lyonnais had to return to winning tactics this Saturday afternoon in Lorient. Mission accomplished for Les Gones, who beat Merlus trembling and presenting a more than convincing face. Taking a big step to stay at the top, Pierre Sage’s men have fulfilled their objectives with several key players such as Alexandre Lacazette or Ernest Nuamah.
This is a source of satisfaction for Maxence Caqueret, who wanted to ease the tension at the end of the match: “We were ready to recover. We controlled the game from start to finish, we told ourselves that the team was more vital. “More than individually. I’m very satisfied for the players who were able to score and for the team. “
