Key player for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186, Argentine international Lisandro Lopez has refused to consider himself as a big star. While giving an interview, the striker spoke about his ambitions and goals for the current campaign
and beyond
Currently fourth in the Ligue 1 standings, Olympique Lyonnais have made a fairly good start to the new campaign. Les Gones chase leaders Paris Saint-Germain by five points and could be looking to mount a title assault in the final weeks of a Ligue 1 campaign
that has already started with a great pace.
Under the guidance of Remi Garde, Lyon have performed far better than most had expected of them. However, things could have been a whole lot different for the Rhone giants. The start to the 2011/2012 campaign saw Lyon loose the services of Lisandro Lopez.
However, Lyon somehow managed to deal without the presence of the Argentine. The return of Lopez from injury has certainly given the Lyon attack a new sense of direction.
Since his return, Lisandro has scored six goals in nine games which just shows how important the striker has been for Les Gones.
Though many people consider “Licha” a true star for Lyon, the player himself is not distracted by what papers say. While giving an interview, the striker spoke about his ambitions at the club and the goals and targets that he has set.
“I have no objectives or goals on a personal basis. However, I do have goals with the team. I want to finish the season by celebrating something. Winning a title with this team is an obsession,” said the 28-year-old while talking to Aujourd’h*i en http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
Lopez also played down his cult status in Lyon. “Honestly, I consider myself a fighter. I am a guy who struggles. How to explain it? I have no gift greater than average. I have a little bit of everything that I value with my devotion, my desire. This is
what distinguishes me a little. I see myself as an important player in this team, but definitely not as a European star.”
Certainly Licha has shown himself to be quite a down to earth person who does not want to be carried away by the raving reviews he has been getting since his return from injury.
