Olympique Lyonnais coach Remi Garde sends out warning to Yoann Gourcuff – Ligue 1 news
Olympique Lyonnais coach Remi Garde has send out warning signs to out-of-sorts http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 midfielder Yoann Gourcuff.
The 25-year-old joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 from FC Girondins de Bordeaux in the summer of 2010 and since then, the playmaker has not lived up to the amount of money that Lyon paid for his services. The former AC Milan man was injured in the preseason but
since making a comeback, Gourcuff has not been effective whenever given the chance.
The image was certainly striking on Sunday afternoon when Bafetimbi Gomis and Yoann Gourcuff were seated next to eachother on the bench during Lyon’s Ligue 1 game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AJ-Auxerre-c38247. The game more than testified the quality of the Lyon side as the visitors
efficiently defeated the Burgundy club 3-0.
Lyon coach Remi Garde in his first season in charge of the Rhone club has certainly shaken up things. The recent emergence of the likes of Clement Grenier and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Max-c24993 Gonalons clearly suggest that the young coach will not hesitate in giving youth a chance.
Furthermore, Gourcuff’s consistent inconsistencies are clearly frustrating Garde who wants the midfielder to return to his best this season. While talking to RMC a few days ago, Remi Garde spoke of his reasons for benching Gourcuff in the 3-0 win over Auxerre.
“Yoann is in the plans, there is no debate about that. I do not condemn anyone, but actually, I expect a little more from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yoann-Gourcuff-c37416. But I told you, he is a player who has missed a lot of games after a lengthy injury and I am not going to give a final
judgment on him after just a few games.”
The recent statement made by Remi Garde though suggests that the 45-year-old wants to keep Gourcuff at the club but also suggest that Garde will certainly judge Gourcuff’s worth at the club by the end of the current campaign.
Gourcuff will need to quickly return to his past best in order to survive at a club that is making a lot of changes in their philosophy towards the club. the return of Brazilian midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ederson-c11880 is another reason why Gourcuff needs to double his efforts
as the Brazilian has been in good form for Les Gones during the last two games.
