With now piece of silverware for almost four years, Olympique Lyonnais will face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 in the Coupe de la Ligue semi-final with an aim to proceed to the final in order to end their trophy drought
The last time seven-time Ligue 1 champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. In the same season, Les Gones had won their seventh Championelle. Since then, the Rhone giants have failed to win any trophy.
However, the mood at the club has changed since the arrival of Remi Garde as the new coach. Currently, Les Gones are in all four competitions and their first mission will be to reach the final of the Coupe de la Ligue.
Brazilian winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408 and wants to get his hands on his first trophy in Lyon colours. Being a teammate of Cris is certainly a good thing for Bastos. His fellow Brazilian has won many trophies
for Les Gones and was also the part of the golden generation of Lyon players that had the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Florent-Malouda-c13838.
While talking to the media, Bastos said, “I spoke about winning titles with my mate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486, who has won many trophies here. He told me that it’s an extraordinary feeling; great matches to play in and fantastic ones to win. In the dressing room, we're all on
board. We really want to win and bring a trophy to this club, which is used to winning titles."
However, the mission would be a difficult one despite Lyon’s historical advantage over Lorient. Lorient to date, have only one trophy which was the Coupe de France in 2002. Since then, Les Merlus have not won anything and coach Christian Gourcuff would certainly
be looking to get one over his son Yoann Gourcuff’s club.
The Lorient tactician says that it is more important for his club to play in the final than Lyon because his club has rarely been in such a position.
The game starts at 20:45 CET and is bound to be a cracking encounter between two sides that are sure to give their all in order to play the final at Stade de France.
