Or four pure products from the training center aged 16 to 21. What better way for fans to regain faith in this OL, from the first game of 2020, after a first part of the season without flavor?

"The young people participated in this qualification and they meet my expectations", soberly commented Rudi Garcia, well aware of the effectiveness of this lever of youth in order to obtain public support for a return phase begun in 12th place in Ligue 1.
When, in 2046, we tweet with nostalgia:
Saturday January 4, 2020, 10:43 p.m.
Rayan Cherki's first goal.
"This goal will help them a lot in terms of confidence"
Lucas Tousart was delighted with this evening epilogue forever engraved in the careers of Rayan Cherki, youngest goalscorer in OL history (16 years and 140 days), and Maxence Caqueret, also the author of his first goal in the professional world: "It's great for them, they were looking forward to this special moment".

- Foot Statistics (@Statsdufoot) January 4, 2020"We saw that our young players scored," also said Saturday Houssem Aouar before recovering and having fun, from the height of his 21 springs. He remembers having experienced the same emotion less than three years ago, during a large success there also against AZ Alkmaar (7-1 in the knockout stages of the Europa League).
They are already well integrated in the group and this goal will help them a lot in terms of confidence. I was in their place some time ago and I am very happy for them. It is a big reward and we will enjoy it with them. "
Maxence Caqueret "doesn't necessarily try to be decisive"
In addition to his victorious recovery full of composure (0-5, 82nd), we advise you the remarkable double one-two by Maxence Caqueret with Houssem Aouar on the sixth goal of the international hopefuls (89th). The wind of freshness of this return to the Ain is also embodied by Amine Gouiri, at the origin of the goal of her friend Maxence Caqueret. "I also liked Amine who was very collective when she came into play", did not fail to emphasize Rudi Garcia.
But if there is one who can claim a place in this OL, it is Maxence Caqueret, "very honored" to have scored with his club of hearts and describing "a special joy" after the meeting . “I'm not necessarily trying to be decisive, but we always score points when we are. I take what there is to take, the coach gave me my chance and I hope to chain the matches. The opposite would be really surprising, as his partner Martin Terrier half-hisses, who understood the symbolism linking Lyon to his training.

- 20 Minutes (@ 20Minutes) April 2, 2019"It is clear that Rayan Cherki has an extraordinary talent"
“The young people were very good this evening, appreciates the former Strasbourg. A club like OL has this DNA at the youth level. You have to bet on it, they have their place little by little. If he regretted “Lyon's arrogance” at the end of the game, the FBBP 01 coach Karim Mokeddem particularly appreciates the two talents. “If I coached in Ligue 1, Maxence Caqueret would play for my team every day. He is not afraid to take responsibility by dropping out and he also has the foot it takes to advance the ball, ”said the former coach of Lyon Duchère.
"Little Rayan Cherki is different," he continues. It is a nugget to polish. I don't know if he will be able to make further technical progress. But on the aspects of emotion management and tactics yes. Given his talent, I really wish him to burst into the open. It will take a little more time with him but it is clear that he has an extraordinary talent. In this regard, he obviously did not open his meter on a filthy pointed deflected but on a delicious pricked ball mystifying poor Sébastien Callamand. It is certainly not the last French goalkeeper who will curse Rayan Cherki in the coming months.
