Upon his return from the African Cup of Nations, Olympique Lyonnais defender Bakary Kone has not been able to stabilise Lyon’s defence and is hopeful of good days ahead at Stade de Gerland
This time, in the Ligue 1 game against Stade Caen Malherbe, Olympique Lyonnais failed to reverse a trend that the Rhone side has become accustomed to in recent games.
Losing 2-1, Les Gones failed to manage a comeback. However, Les Gones should consider themselves lucky for not moving away from a title race. A week that saw the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and LOSC Lille fail to register victories, Lyon are still in contention
for a Ligue 1 title assault.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 should worry about their defensive side of football especially Bakary Kone. The Burkina Faso international made a good start to life at Lyon earlier this campaign but since then, his performances have dropped down and so has his
status as a starting XI player.
While talking to Le Progress, Kone admitted of not being able to perform the way he did earlier on and explained reasons for this.
“In Lyon, I was in the tub immediately. Everyday was a new challenge, there was always news that people thought highly of me. I learned a lot and am still progressing.”
The youngster is now eager to regain his place in the starting XI with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Lovren-c10779 out injured.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Burkina-Faso-c2862 were eliminated from the African Cup of Nations early on and Kone admits that he is trying to recover from such a huge disappointment.
Lately, Lyon have conceded too many goals for their coach Remi Garde’s liking and Kone wants to be a helping hand for the Frenchman.
“I will move forward and I have dreams. I want to play in the Champions League final and want to play in the Premier League. When? The time is not for me, it’s up to God,” says the Burkinabe international.
With defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486 struggling to maintain both form and fitness and Hamdan Al-Kamali still integrating with the squad, Remi Garde will certainly take his chances on the young defender who has a long way to go in order to realise his ambitions.
