At OL Park,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On April 5, after an insipid draw (0-0) in Angers, the chief trolls could have a field day about OL. After having racked up 13 wins in a row from mid-December to mid-February, would Paulo Fonseca’s gang (then 6th in Ligue 1) achieve the feat of going even stronger, with 15 games without a win to end the season, (obviously) without a trophy and even without European qualification?<\/p>\n Three weeks later, this half-nightmare, half-burlesque scenario is no longer relevant at all. After a sluggish success against Lorient (2-0), then a small exploit on the pitch of PSG (1-2), the Lyonnais were able to confirm this Saturday their return to the forefront in front of Auxerre (3-2). Provisionally only 3rd in the standings (+3 over Lille), OL have not mastered everything, far from it, but they were able to put pressure on their four most dangerous pursuers, Lille, Rennes, Marseille and Monaco, who all play later in the weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cIn football, there are moments that boost confidence and others that take away confidence. There, we finish this match with a strange feeling,\u201d summarized Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca this Saturday. He is aware that the second Burgundian goal from Bryan Okoh (3-2, 87th) made his group doubt during the seven minutes of additional time, even if he believes that he \u201cdeserved\u201d a greater gap.<\/p>\n Against AJA, the hamstring injury to Orel Mangala, who returned at the best moment of the season as a strong man in the Lyon midfielder, is a reminder of the extent to which the renewal of this team remains fragile. However, Corentin Tolisso still proved decisive in \u201cguide supersub<\/span> \u00bb, as against Lorient, with a goal (2-1, 66th) and an assist for Roman Yaremchuk (3-1, 71st). \u201cIt\u2019s extremely pleasing, we wanted to validate the result of the Parc des Princes,\u201d he says. We absolutely had to win and hold on to this result in the end, we did it. \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div>
Tolisso still essential in \u201csupersub\u201d<\/h2>\n
