Lyon was held in check by Dijon (0-0), Saturday for the 10th day of Ligue 1, a result again very disappointing that places OL and his new coach Rudi Garcia face a huge building site.

While the latter, whose appointment has displeased the groups of supporters, was greeted as expected by whistles at the announcement of teams, Olympique Lyonnais continues a series of eight league games without winning.

Either the worst series in the league under the presidency of Jean-Michel Aulas, head of OL since 1987. And the worst of Lyon since 1977 ...

The club Rhone remains provisionally 14th in the standings with a point ahead of the DFCO who leaves the last place pending meetings on Saturday night and Sunday.

OL's performance leaves the specter of a season such as that experienced by Monaco in 2018-2019. The Monegasque club, despite heavyweight, has never been able to leave the bottom of the table despite two changes of coaches.

Lyon, especially the first hour, proposed no collective game and posted technical weaknesses and a lack of commitment in the duels that can only worry.

Arrived this week at the Olympique Lyonnais to replace the Brazilian Sylvinho, Garcia could not change everything in a few days. He chose to adopt a 4-3-3 in which Jeff Queen Adelaide, although the best Lyon since the beginning of the season, had no place at kickoff.

Curiously, the former Angevin, acquired for 25 million euros this summer, had not played at all the two previous matches in Leipzig, the Champions League and Saint-Etienne.

Despite this device that should have given a bold game, OL has clearly dominated, especially in the last third of the meeting, but in a sterile way a training well organized and solidarity Dijon, in net progress since August and on a series of four games without defeat.

And at the end of the game, lack of offensive solutions, Rudi Garcia was forced to bring in the young Ryan Cherki (83), who made his professional debut at just 16 years, as a last shot of poker that proved futile.

- Gomis determining in the goals -

Because in the goals of Dijon, goalkeeper Alfred Gomis was impeccable and decisive to the end.

He interposed on a recovery and a shot by Moussa Dembélé (6th, 61st) but also on an attempt by Maxwel Cornet followed by a resumption of the head of Queen Adelaide (66th).

Houssem Aouar also failed against Gomis without Kenny Tete can not concretize on the return with a shot hijacked by Senou Coulibaly (71).

In the first half, Cornet missed the frame of accuracy (40th) while a recovery of Dembélé was opposed in-extremis by a defender (45th) for other opportunities Lyon.

For its part, Dijon was dangerous only twice, on a shot by Stephy Mavididi countered and difficultly hijacked by Anthony Lopes (25th) then on a cover of Julio Tavares at the reception of a center Didier Ndong (76th) .

In the end, the Lyonnais again came out under the whistles of Groupama stadium, as after the defeat against Nantes (1-0) on 28 September.
