The 46-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 coach held his opponents in high regard, as they managed to salvage a point at the Stade Gerland against his team. The coach also stated that Les Gones needs to do better if they’re to win the Ligue 1 title this
season.
Olympique Lyonnias were stunned by underdogs, Evian TG who exhibited a superb display as the game ended up in a draw. Les Gones coach, Remi Garde was disappointed upon not being able to secure all three points home. The Frenchman went onto state that they
lacked spark in the game against Evian TG, despite their urge to win. Moreover, Garde held praise and respect for his opponents who present a strong show as the game ended in stalemate.
Les Gones weren’t able to score a single goal in the Ligue 1 fixture against Evian, as they failed to secure all three points. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international believes that the side didn’t exhibit the same level of determination in first-half of the game,
as they have in the rest of the season. The tactician said:
"We didn't manage to break down a side that defended very well and was very organised. We needed to have had more rhythm in our play and in our repeated attacks. We didn't manage that in the first half.”
However, Garde feels content with the Lyon’s performance in the second-half. The coach acknowledged that the French club didn’t enjoy a good start to 2013, as they failed to impress in their recent games. The Frenchman believes that the team needs to improve,
if they’re to win. He said:
“We tried in the second. We lacked spark and you could say we've not started 2013 in an exceptional way. Last week we had a fortunate win. The draw reflects the game with few chances. We need to do better. I don't think it's a physical problem.”
The 46-year-old feels that despite the lack of resources Evian has proved to be a strong side this season. The Ligue 1 outfit defended strongly at the Stade Gerland, depriving their opponents the opportunity to score a goal. Danish goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stephan-Andersen-c34096
also gave in a good performance, one that helped Evian secure a valuable point.
The coach held the Ligue 1 newcomers in high regards, as he said:
“We have to pay tribute to Evian as they defended the point they came for. Evian didn't buckle because we didn't manage to get enough intensity in our play."
