For his first match at the head of OL, Fabio Grosso is not going to revolutionize everything tactically. The Italian should continue in 4-3-3 in Brest, but with two real wingers: Diego Moreira and Ernest Nuamah. So no Rayan Cherki.
With 26 players available for training, Fabio Grosso necessarily had to make choices for the trip to Brest this Saturday (9 p.m.). Young Mamadou SarrMohamed El Arouch and Ashraf Lazarus remained on the floor, accompanied by the most experienced Henrique. First decisions which, for the moment, do not necessarily lead to indignation among the supporters, but it is on the field that Grosso’s first acts of coaching are expected. The latter warned, he “not going to change for the sake of changing” and OL will rather have a certain continuity in Finistère. A fan of 4-3-3, the Italian will continue in this direction to redress Lyon’s situation.
Alvero en Sentinelle?
However, this “Lyon style” tactic should be accompanied by a few choices, or at least a first big choice according to The Team. Looking for movements and players capable of taking up space, Fabio Grosso would have worked a device without Rayan Cherki during the week. Will the leader be the first victim of the end of the statuses with the Italian? This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a punishment, but for his debut, Grosso wants to put the “best possible eleven and not the best eleven players” in the field.
In this 4-3-3, Cherki could therefore be replaced by Diego Moreira who brought percussion to the ball last Sunday during his first entry against Le Havre. If defensively, nothing should change despite the return of Duje Caleta-Carin the middle, Skelly Alvero would be about to have his first tenure with OL as sentinel.
The probable composition of OL: Lopes – Kumbedi, Mata, Diamond, Tagliafico – Caqueret, Alvero, Tolisso – Moreira, Lacazette, Nuamah
