While talking to the media, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 need to get their act together if they are to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. Les Gones lost to FC Bordeaux on Sunday
The last time Olympique Lyonnais won at the Stade Chaban Delmas was back in 2007. Since then, Les Gones have failed to defeat FC Girondins de Bordeaux away from home. It was the same story all over again as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yoan-Gouffran-c37412 scored the only goal of the game
as Lyon continued their poor Ligue 1 form.
Things are certainly going wrong for the Rhone giants. A defeat at the Aquitaine means that Lyon’s chances of featuring in the UEFA Champions League next season are fading week by week. Les Gones are just three points behind reigning Ligue 1 champions LOSC
Lille who have a game in hand.
Furthermore, Remi Garde’s side is being chased by the likes of Stade Rennais, AS Saint-Etienne and Toulouse.
As things stand, Marseille and Lyon are level on points but Les Phoceens have a superior goal difference. What makes it even more exciting is the fact that AS Saint-Etienne and Stade Rennais also have the same number of points which means that the race for
the Europa League berth might be the only thing Lyon could be able to salvage in the league.
Since January 28, Remi Garde’s side have not won a single game. Lyon already have nine defeats in 24 games which makes them unworthy title contenders let alone Champions League hopefuls.
President, Jean-Michel Aulas thinks that the team is finding it hard as they are playing on four fronts which might have played a big role in all this.
However, goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris does not agree with the two strongmen of the club.
While talking to the media, Lloris called out his players to start owning up to their mistakes in order to do something about the Ligue 1.
“There were too many individuals who were not with us which weakens the team. A tough calendar or not, we do not make excuses. We are lacking in individual consistency.”
A 13th consecutive appearance in the Champions League is looking hard for the Rhone side and next up, Lyon welcome PSG which will certainly be a tricky tie for both sides.
