The likes of Maxime Gonalons, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Lacazette-c4895 et al have done well since graduating from the Tola Vologe but there are a lot of players for whom things didn’t work out that well
Although a lot of young players have started becoming regular fixtures in the Lyon senior side, there are a host of players who failed to take their chances. Jeremy Pied, whose talent promised so much yet delivered little, has now joined OGC Nice where he
has been reunited with former coach Claude Puel.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. However, the youngster failed to cement a place in the side and after last winter’s loan spell at Italian Serie A side Bologna, was sold to Parma for 3 million euros.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350, never lived up to his billing and now, has fallen into oblivion. The youngster has joined Lausanne for free just like Sebastien Faure who will now play for the fallen giants of Scottish football,
Glasgow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314.
Mohamed Yattara joined Arles-Avignon on loan last season and has now sealed a permanent move to newly-promoted Troyes.
Finally, Enzo Reale also packed his belongings and left Stade de Gerland. The native of Venissieux will now be looking to do well at Boulogne-sur-Mer where he will play for Christian Gourcuff’s side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153. Luckily for Reale, he will play under a manager
who has a way with the youngsters so a quick revival may be on the offing.
The likes of Loic Remy (Olympique de Marseille) and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anthony-Mounier-c6224 (Montpellier Herault) have done quite well since leaving the Rhone club but it is unlikely to see most of the youngsters do that today.
Stephane Roche is the current director of Lyon’s training centre and has clearly said that only those players who show their true potential on a consistent basis will be given consideration.
“These are player still in the learning phase. They must also agree to play with us. The best will be those who stay consistent, they will be wanted by Remi, not just for training but also for the long drive.”
Certainly, with so much talent pouring through it is hard to deny the fact that many young players at the Tola Vologe will pursue their careers somewhere else just like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884 and Loic Remy.
A few years back, Loic Remy left http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 in order to get more game time with OGC Nice. Initially, many people feared that the young striker, like so many Lyon academy recruits of yesteryears, would fade into obscurity.
When we look at the striker’s career today, leaving Lyon was a good option. After impressing with Les Aiglons, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 came calling and the striker has not looked back since then.
However, the same cannot be said for most of the players. Although many clubs have benefitted from Lyon’s fabled academy, there is no guarantee that they will follow the footsteps of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Florent-Malouda-c13838 and Karim Benzema.
