Olympique Lyonnais travels to Normandy to face Le Havre this Sunday for the 18th day of Ligue 1 (5:05 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Rhone club.
Because he became the man of renewal in the space of a few weeks, Pierre Sage was confirmed in his mission until the end of the current season. A mark of confidence which does not change the plans of the technician, as calm as ever, at the dawn of this year 2024, to try to continue a series of 4 consecutive successes.
OL’s first test will be on the field of promoted Le Havre. “It’s a surprising team that lines up players and often changes system, warned Pierre Sage. It’s up to us to do better than the first leg (0-0). They are capable of doing great things, they have an offensive game that lasts from one match to the next. It’s up to us to manage these aspects and counter their solidity. We must have ambition”.
Pierre Sage announces the hierarchy
All eyes will be focused, in the coming weeks, on the recruits of this transfer window. Goalkeeper Lucas Perri, defender Adryelson and promising attacker Malick Fofana have settled in Lyon. In this context of competition, can Pierre Sage shake up the hierarchy of goalkeepers? The technician was very clear. Anthony Lopes remains number 1. “He deserves his place. Today, there is no history of seniority or status. It’s all about performance. We spoke with him on this subject and it is quite clear between us. The idea is to ensure that everyone is at their best and that they lift each other up”.
The expected line-up for OL : Lopes – Mata, O’Brien, Caleta-Car – Kumbedi, Tolisso, Caqueret, Tagliafico – Cherki, Lacazette, Maitland-Niles.
