The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 man scored a goal and gave a fine performance in his side’s 1-1 draw against Stade Brestois. The midfielder’s performance has been widely appreciated and the winds may yet change for him
Last night, Olympique Lyonnais effectively bade goodbye to the hope of a 13th consecutive appearance in the Champions League next season after drawing 1-1 to relegation-threatened Stade Brestois.
Jean-Michel Aulas was not at all pleased by the performances of most of his players especially http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Lacazette-c4895 and Lisandro Lopez who could not find their way past an in-form Steeve Elana.
Remi Garde was unable to provide much cover to the defence and Lyon deservedly conceded an equaliser.
The time was not the one of joy for OL but on a personal note, midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461.
For a player who has been injured too many times, the performance was heartening.
At times yesterday, one could see that Yoann Gourcuff is slowly returning to the form that made him one of the best players in France during his successful spell at FC Girondins de Bordeaux. The player was in great form for Les Gones and put in a great shift.
And the former AC Milan player admits that after playing three games in a row, he is slowly developing his tempo.
“I managed well enough to keep the ball on the ground and my teammates were able to pass the ball to me and then made good moves so yes, it’s all good.”
After the game, Gourcuff won a lot of praise from all quarters and L’Equipe gave him a rating of 7 out of 10.
Jean-Michel Aulas was also happy to see Gourcuff earn himself a goal.
“What I want is to earn playing time and have fun,” says Gourcuff.
Though he does not want to think much about it, Yoann Gourcuff’s performances may have alerted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 national team manager Laurent Blanc who is reportedly waiting to see if the player he managed at Bordeaux, is able to return to his best or not.
