“Textorico”. This Wednesday, Olympique Lyonnais and the RWDM Brussels, two clubs in the Eagle Football galaxy, clashed in a friendly at Groupama Ol Training Center in Décines. For the Gones, it was a second test after the meeting won 1 to 0 against Villefranche last Saturday thanks to a penalty transformed by Corentin Tolisso. The Gones captain was also in the starting eleven of Paulo Fonseca (who cannot be on the bench vis-à-vis his suspension, editor’s note) to face the stable of the Belgian second division this Wednesday. In the cages, Diarra was supported by the Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Cara, Niakhaté and Chaib Quartet. In the midfield, Merah and Tessmann were at the helm with Tolisso. Finally, Gonçalves, Gomes Rodriguez and La Recruue Afonso Moreira, who was playing his first under the colors of Lyon, also started. Training combining experience and youth.
A first period with ups and downs
Note that Malick Fofana, who was physically affected, was forfeited for the meeting. In the camp opposite, Mohamed El Aruch, who passed through OL, was not there either. From the outset, the Gones have put a lot of pace and intensity. Number 17 On the back, Afonso Moreira was the first to be illustrated, he who made his technique and his liveliness speak by eliminating a player before serving Gonçalves who launched Chaib, whose center was not conclusive (1st). In the 5th, Tolisso also centered strongly in front of the goal, but Gomes Rodriguez was too fair. OL, which has sometimes lost a few balloons, continued to push and press, while being solid to recovery and behind during the Belgian incursions. Moussa Niakhaté, which has been heard a lot giving voice, headed the troops in particular. In the 18th, Lyon obtained its first frank opportunity with Merah.
After a one-two with Gomes Rodriguez, he sent a strike from the law, which was pushed back into a corner. Molenbeek replied to the 25th on counterattack. Maurer concluded this attempt to strike the law directly in the arms of Diarra. The latter was again asked in the 32nd. After playing the Rhone defense, Maurer found Ziani, whose resumption of the volley crashed on the post. Diarra was beaten. OL was hot. In the process, the Gones tried to start on attack. But they have very often lacked accuracy and precision. The losses of bullets have multiplied, despite the desire and the passion of the Lyon youth. Which annoyed Tolisso, which we heard Pester. Molenbeek pushed at the end of the first period. In the surface, Maurer eliminated Caleta-cara before trying his luck with a ground strike. Diarra pushed his right fist on her line (45th).
Gones still have a lot of work
After a safe attempt by Tessmann, much above the cages, the Lyonnais returned to the locker room at the break (0-0). In the second period, the eleven, in 4-3-3, was made up of Descamps, Abner, Barisic, Mata, Kumbedi, Diawara, Matic, Carvalho, Molebe, Himbert and Mikautadze. Absent on Saturday because package, the Georgian found his family. Quickly, he perfectly served Molebe, who centered for Himbert. But the latter was preceded by an opponent right in front of the cages of Lathouwers, who was beaten (49th). In the 51st, Mikautadze also tried his luck in the axis before being resumed. The entrance to the Georgian did good in Lyon offensively in the first moments. Defensively, the Gones ran a lot after the ball, Molenbeek having circulated a lot. But they were not worried. They also lost a lot of ball losses, as in the first period.
Following a beautiful recovery, Barisic, which was not intimidated, left against. He procrastinated a little before trying a crossed strike far too soft to worry Bengui, just loaned by OL in Molenbeek (66th). Despite good intentions, Molebe and Himbert caught in the last gesture (69th). From Carvalho, he was surprised by his opponents, who took advantage of a good pressing to allow Montero to strike from the left. But his shot did not deceive Descamps (78th). The latter had to work in front of Sambu (84th) before he could not do anything on the beautiful chain of Simbakoli, whose strike passed next to his cages. Not bleeding quite defensively, the Lyonnais lacked inspiration and creativity offensively, apart from Molebe very active on his wing. In the end, the two teams neutralized themselves (0-0). A friendly who does not really reassure OL, who still has a lot of work. The transfer window will be able to provide retouching that is necessary.
