Foot OL – OL: Lacazette and Tolisso, the alleged culprits – Olympique Lyonnais

The start of the season is catastrophic for OL, especially since certain leaders such as Tolisso or Lacazette are struggling to respond.

With one point in Ligue 1 since the start of the season, Olympique Lyonnais is having a very complicated start to the season, symbolized by the departure of Laurent Blanc, who was replaced by Fabio Grosso. For the 2006 world champion, the urgency is to find the right formula and to rely on certain leaders within the squad. Naturally, we are thinking here of Lacazette and Tolisso but since the start of the season, the two historic OL players have struggled to perform.

Against all expectations, it is ultimately a recruit from the summer transfer window who has established himself for the moment as one of the main leaders of the squad in the person of Clinton Mata. On the Olympique & Lyonnais website, consultant Nicolas Puydebois highlighted the very good start to the season for the former Bruges defender. “It is an admission of weakness the way he expresses himself. It’s a new situation for him and he doesn’t want to confront it.” first indicates Nicolas Puydebois about Lacazette before continuing.

Puydebois pins Lacazette and Tolisso

“He is afraid of slipping up by saying what he really thinks. He has no solution, you can feel that in his statement. However, it is up to him, and others too, to find it because he has a special status. But for now, the encephalogram is flat. He and the captains, Tolisso, Lopes and even Caqueret, must take the bull by the horns. For the moment, Tolisso, Lacazette and Caqueret are not having a good start to the season, they are not the leaders that I expect in the state of mind. Clinton Mata is the only one at the level I expected him to be” expresses Nicolas Puydebois, who expects much more from the leaders of Olympique Lyonnais. Their rise in power will be essential to make the Rhone club shine again in Ligue 1. Fabio Grosso is undoubtedly aware of this.
