How did OL win back its supporters against Losc?

• OL managed to get the best of Losc on Tuesday with a penalty shootout (2-2; 4-3).
• A big month after the incidents that broke out against Leipzig, the Lyon players managed to celebrate their qualification for the Stade de France with their two supporters turns.

At Parc OL,

"It's been so long since we remembered the dates, it was in 2014, right? When Jean-Michel Aulas poses such an auto-trolling catch by presenting himself in the mixed zone, we would almost manage to forget this interminable semi-final of the League Cup at Parc OL. His 13-minute speech, to celebrate this first Lyon final for six years (JMA was right), was ultimately longer than the only highlight of this OL-Losc (2-2, 4 tab to 3), namely the two goals at the very end of the match and the penalty shootout.

"We enjoy more when we are criticized and that things finally turn in the right direction, says the President of Lyon, not failing to highlight the success of Juninho and Rudi Garcia in this performance. By being tenacious, we manage to resume the course of history and find ourselves in our place. "Author of a more than average match ... but also of a nice goal from far (2-1, 85th), Houssem Aouar did not say anything else:" We are proud to bring all the Lyonnais to the Stade de France . I think the club deserved it for a long time, it had to be brought back to its place and it goes through a final at the Stade de France. "

📢 Go a little last to finish the evening well!

"Offering a much more flamboyant game attracts everyone"

Facing PSG or Reims (this Wednesday at 9 p.m.), the Lyonnais will therefore aim for their first trophy since the 2012 French Cup. What to forget the blandness of this half? Qualified by Houssem Aouar as a “very closed match” (a euphemism), with “a first execrable period” (dixit Rudi Garcia), it resulted in a renewed fervor between groups of supporters and players.

A big month after the post-Leipzig incidents (2-2), it was a big odds, like the invincibility of OL in 2020 and the non-transfer of Marcelo during this winter transfer window. How did this redemption take shape so quickly, especially between the north turn and the players? "The fact of offering a much more flamboyant game attracts everyone," says Houssem Aouar. We are much better in the game in 2020, even if it was very complicated for us today. Lille did a huge amount of pressing and we had a lot of trouble getting the ball out properly or being in the middle of the field. "

"Everyone was able to come back fresh"

Almost as decisive as Moussa Dembélé since the resumption, Houssem Aouar specifies: “Even after the match in Leipzig, the supporters continued to encourage us. We all have the same goal: that OL move in the right direction. It is therefore logical to go in the same direction ”. Listening to Rafael and Moussa Dembélé, the Christmas holidays did the greatest good for this team.

"We came back motivated at the start of the year," said Lyon's top scorer. The station wagon was good because before that, the context was heavy for the group. Everyone was able to focus on something other than football and come back fresh. The long celebrations at the foot of the bend, with songs and dances shared in the key are the symbol of this freshness. Brazilian side Rafael speaks the best.

"We like soccer for that. I myself am a supporter of a team in Brazil. I want her to win and I sometimes insult the players at my house (smile). I understand that but we must not be disrespectful here. It was beautiful tonight. We are all there together and that is why we win. That moment means a lot to me because I have been in Lyon for four and a half years without ever going to the final. "

"Everyone put the mistakes of the past behind"

At 29, the former side of Manchester United has identified the "virtuous spiral" of the moment (expression obviously signed JMA). Much more talkative than usual, Moussa Dembélé said about the tensions at OL-Leipzig: "We are aware of what we did in this first part of the season and we wanted to remedy that. It proves that everyone has put the mistakes of the past behind to try to move forward, it's all good for the club.

Starting with the dialogue launched by Marcelo with the Bad Gones, ten days ago in Bordeaux (1-2). Ready "to reinforce the team", Jean-Michel Aulas goes so far as to evoke "a passage from hell to paradise" enabled by the "Mustache Cup". You will understand, 19 years after becoming the first coronation of the Aulas era (against Monaco in 2001), this Coupe de la Ligue (the last edition) has been tickling all Lyon since Tuesday evening. "There are nine chances out of ten to meet our beloved little neighbor of Paris in the final," says Jean-Michel Aulas. It is definitely stronger than him.
