The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 coach is aware of the club’s economic realities but insists that he is willing to fight with weapons at his disposal despite the club’s inability to have ample transfer budget
Eliminated in the Coupe de la Ligue by a side coached by a former coach in Claude Puel, Ligue 1 giants Olympique Lyonnais are still well placed to do well in Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, are just four points behind the league leaders Paris Saint-Germain and are also
doing well to secure a place in the knockout phases of this season’s edition of the Europa League.
The 2012/2013 campaign has started on a strong note for the pride of Rhone. However, despite running smoothly in terms of the sport, Les Gones are still far from making a financial recovery. Due to this, the club’s president, Jean-Michel Aulas’ desire to
further cut down on the wage bill is understandable.
Many players have once again been linked with a move away from Stade de Gerland this winter and though it is a cause for concern, coach Remi Garde is not entirely worried about losing out on the services of some of the best players in his squad.
While talking to the media, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 player said that Aulas wants the club to be doing well in Europe and although the club’s financial standing might not be the healthiest, he knows that his team can cope without resources just like Montpellier
did last season.
“I know the presidents still wants to live Europe this year. He has done his utmost to make sure that the group remains as competitive as possible, not only this year, but also when we enter into the big stadium. When I came to this team, there was still
a legacy of a period of huge investments. Today, it has clearly moved on. But we do not need to be in another dimension of lifestyle or wages to win. We saw that last season with Montpellier.”
Keen to take out a leaf from Montpellier’s book, Remi Garde is sure that he can do well at Lyon no matter how difficult the task may be.
