- Already qualified for the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, OL are continuing their adventure in the Coupe de France after their success (1-0) on Wednesday against OM.
- The post-match was marked by the Jean-Michel Aulas festival in the mixed zone, between irony and eighth degree.
- The President of Lyon strongly defended Rudi Garcia, finally winner of a "big match" as an OL coach.
At Parc OL,
What if the real media masterclass of the week was the work of Jean-Michel Aulas and not that of Leonardo? In five minutes with the watch in hand, and not a second more, the Lyon boss had time to slip a tackle pack as hard as those of Rafael, just after the success of OL against OM on Wednesday (1 -0). Everything between irony, eighth degree and pure trolling .
After warming up nicely on Sunday at the Parc des Princes, JMA immediately activated the freewheel mode in the spans of the Parc OL. “It's really a great satisfaction since, as we read every day in all the media, Marseille is a very big team, of an abysmal difference with our Olympique Lyonnais. "The decor is set, right?
We end the evening with the joy of our players in the locker room! 😍🔴🔵 # OLOM pic.twitter.com/EjEZ74CJZm
- Olympique Lyonnais (@OL) February 12, 2020"The bus was not broken, the VAR operated normally"
The references to the previous “Olympico”, electric at will in November at the Vélodrome, will no surprise follow: “The reception conditions were great, I invited the managers to lunch, the bus was not broken, the VAR operated normally, except at the end of the first period [except very severe play whistled against Houssem Aouar]. Jean-Michel Aulas obviously refers to the error made by the refereeing body during the OM-OL (2-1) in November, namely the unsanctioned hand of Morgan Sanson, which precedes that of Thiago Mendes resulting in a penalty.
Face impassive, the President of Lyon then sends his second ladle to journalists: "Despite the predictions and friendly pressure from all the media, Olympique Lyonnais was able to make a great match and beat this supersonic OM on a regular basis". JMA can ironic as much as it wants, there is indeed little chance that the band at Villas-Boas could have widened a gap of 16 points on OL in L1 if it were to rely as on Wednesday on a quartet Khaoui- Chabrolle-Aké-Germain to make the difference at the end of the meeting.
⚽ In the first period, however, OM seemed to be holding their match ... #OLOM #CDF

"I think there was no photo between the two teams"
Does he recognize that it was a very small match, that OL only ignited in the last half hour, until the decisive goal of Houssem Aouar (1-0, 81st)? “No, I don't think there was a photo between the two teams. If we had scored the penalty [Dembélé in the 69th], the case would have been heard faster. But I did not suffer at all, except for all those who had predicted a very wide victory for OM. I know you were very concerned about the health of OL. I wouldn't have wanted you to have a headache tonight. It is simple, during the entirety of its quasi-monologue, JMA did not raise any theme seriously. Example: is there a priority objective between the four competitions in the spirit of Lyonnais?
Obviously the Champions League [first leg against Juve on February 26]. We had put a reserve team in the Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France because only the Champions League interests us. Rudi knew how to thwart all forecasts, it is the proof that one also has a great trainer. He has defeated a team that is above ours so we will have to change your titles for tomorrow. "
The Rudi can't fail dear to fans of the Clash could almost come back up to date, if there was not yet this chasm this Thursday a gap of 16 points between OM (2nd) and the Lyonnais (9th ) in Ligue 1.
