Since making his return to full match action for Ligue 1 giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130, Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez has been in a rich vein of form and has showed just why Les Gones and Remi Garde missed his presence so much.
Fully recovered and showing his prolific form in front of goal, Argentine international Lisandro Lopez is one of the best hopes for Olympique Lyonnais this season. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 man made his return to first-team action on November 18, 2011 after a
lengthy lay-off due to injury. Since then, Lisandro has done exactly what he is paid to do. In six games in all competition, Lisandro has scored five goals for the Rhone giants.
Not many expected “Licha” to be so prolific right from the word go. However, Remi Garde is still being cautious with his hitman. While talking to L’Equipe, the French tactician said, “He is not physically great right now but he makes the difference and gives
everything.”
On Saturday, Licha scored an important goal for Lyon in a 2-1 win over newly-promoted Evian TG at the Stade de Gerland. The win keeps Lyon’s chances of making a top 3 finish alive. On November 27, the South American scored two goals in a 3-0 win over Auxerre
and scored yet another in a 3-2 win over Toulouse on December 4.
While talking to OL TV just after his side’s recent 2-1 win over Evian TG, Lisandro Lopez showed his determination to win the Ligue 1 title despite many experts ruling them out of one.
“We must be positive; you have to believe till the end. I am concentrating on my position. I try to overview the positioning of other players. I watch and talk a lot. I try to support and strengthen my teammates. This week, a lot was talked about me and
my physical frailty, but I am satisfied to have helped OL to this victory.”
Fourth in the Ligue 1 standings and level on points with third placed Lille, Olympique Lyonnais are still in with a great chance of mounting a title assault and the form and fitness of Lopez would certainly play a big part in where Lyon will finish at the
end of the campaign.
