Pélissier: “We had to make a heroic match”
Christophe Pélissier, the coach of FC Lorient, in a press conference: “The Lyon victory is a bit severe. We manage to come back to 2-1, but this third goal hurts us a lot. Faced with a team like that, it We had to have a heroic, perfect match. We didn’t do it. But the Lyonnais were very good today, we have to admit that”.
Bosz delighted with the return of Reine-Adelaide
“When I see my team who have a lot of chances, it’s good to see my team score. I don’t like to talk very far. Now it’s Porto. I prepare for games like that, and I say the same to players.
(On the return from Reine-Adelaide) It’s great. When I called him, the bench behind me was incredibly happy for him. After a year… The guy has worked a lot. It is a pleasure. With his injuries he had … It’s extraordinary,” Bosz said at a press conference.
Bosz on his team’s performance
“We started very well. But we lost some easy balls and we let Lorient come back. The game once morest Lille was better in the game, even if the result is better tonight. We played once morest a team that didn’t concede not many goals.
“Faivre has a lot of talent, he played well tonight. We’ve been playing much better since the break. Even following the loss to Lille, we’re on the right track. We’re going to play two games a week. In March, April and May are always the most important in football, my team will always have to be in top form.
Lorient had more chances than Lille, but lately we’ve been more stable. Tonight, the best player was Maxence (Caqueret), who was extraordinary on the second ball. Houssem is someone who does not lose the ball, he is a good passer. With a good Maxence, it strengthens the team”, explains Bosz in a press conference.
Faivre: “That’s a great answer”
“It feels good to leave with the three points. Personally, I’m happy to score my first two goals in the Lyon shirt and I hope it will call for others. The comrades are trying to put me at ease little (After the words of Jean-Michel Aulas in the team) It’s a nice answer. I don’t pay attention to all that, “said the Lyon winger at the microphone of Prime Video.
It’s over! OL correct the Lorient players
Lyon easily won on the lawn of Lorient thanks to a double from Faivre, a goal from Dembélé and Toko Ekambi. In the standings, Les Gones are two points behind Stade Rennais, 4th. For the Hakes, on the other hand, the weekend will be long. They might end this 27th day in the red zone.

First opportunity for Lyon
After a festival of Moussa Dembélé who combines with Toko-Ekambi, the French striker tries to find a taker in the center but the ball is cleared by the Lorient defense.
First duel won by Malo Gusto

Another supersub for Lorient?
