Despite a defeat against Caen on Saturday, Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas is a happy man and is loving his life with the Rhone club. The Frenchman spoke about his ambitions for this campaign while talking to media
LOSC Lille were not alone in not getting a win this weekend. Bar Montpellier Herault, all other top four sides failed to get maximum points this week which means that the title race has been blown wide open.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 lost at home to Stade Caen Malherbe 2-1 but are still in contention for atleast a Ligue 1 assault in the coming weeks of the Championelle. For president Jean-Michel Aulas, this faux pas is certainly annoying, but it shouldn’t upset the
players that much.
While talking about his club’s defeat against Caen, Aulas said that his side must come back stronger next week if they want to play in the UEFA Champions League next campaign as it will be important for the club’s financial stability.
The arrival of Remi Garde has certainly lifted the mood at Tola Vologe and Aulas is really happy to know how quickly players have become attached to the relatively young tactician.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yoann-Gourcuff-c37416 has not at all risen to the occasion since joining Lyon and consequently, has become a bench player. Since joining from Bordeaux, the midfielder has struggled to adapt to Lyon. Aulas feels that the Frenchman is finding it hard to return to
his best because he is still trying to recover from the psychological effect of his bad start with Les Gones last campaign.
“His interest as the interest of Lyon, is that he return to his level. We are not asking him to be out of breath. Simply, he has a good history of being a brilliant player. today, he is doing the work and needs to regain his old self. He has struggled to
cope with criticism. There was much resistance on his part.”
Certainly, Aulas is desperate to get the best out of a player he paid 22 million Euros for a few seasons back. However, Aulas might also consider taking some financial loss if Gourcuff’s form doesn’t improve.
