While talking to media, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 international, Dejan Lovren, said that he is solely focused on leaving a lasting impression at Olympique Lyonnais and revealed that he is keen on staying at the Rhone side for a few more years
Scoffed at his arrival at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Lovren-c10779 has become a vital member of Olympique Lyonnais side in recent months.
The young defender arrived at the Stade de Gerland in January 2010 for 9 million Euros from Dinamo Zagreb. Upon his arrival, he was an unknown quantity in France and right after his debut, the defender saw a torrent of criticism aimed at him. Many criticised
Lyon for spending so much money on such a young player.
When Lovren arrived at the Rhone side, he was only 20 and took his time in adapting to a new environment. However, things have changed drastically for the player since the beginning of the new campaign.
Now, Lovren is the main-stay of Lyon’s defence and is considered as the best possible replacement for veteran defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486. Moreover, statistics speak for themselves since Lyon have won twice as many games when Lovren plays than they do in his absence.
The Croatian has not been spared by injuries and suspensions which means that Remi Garde struggles to have a strong defence without him.
While talking to Le Progres, the youngster declared his love for Lyon by saying that he will not leave despite the likes of AC Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Bayern Munich monitoring his progress.
“I’m really focusing on OL and I’m glad to be in Lyon. I want to win a trophy with OL. It’s been two years since I’ve been here and I want to win with this club. If they talk about me elsewhere, it makes me happy, it’s good for me. But my priority is OL.”
Proof of his desire to adapt and invest his time at Lyon is that the youngster is studying French.
In today’s Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 encounter against Paris Saint-Germain, Remi Garde will have the luxury of having Dejan Lovren in his task which give Les Gones hope to win the tie.
