  • Olympique Lyonnais conceded the draw to Matmut Atlantique against the Girondins (0-0).

  • If the Lyon performance was without relief, Houssem Aouar made an excellent return on the ground.

    The coronavirus is already a distant memory.

  • Rumors about his future don't seem to bother him at all.

In the torpor of the Bordeaux night, the light could only come from him.

Houssem Aouar.

Coming to replace a Moussa Dembélé from the hour of play, like the Lyon attackers, that is to say voluntary but clumsy, the French midfielder almost signed a very classy goal to get his team out of the trap. Bordeaux (0-0).

81st minute of play, he recovers a bad revival from Gironde, sinks into the defense and there, a beautiful double contact on Laurent Koscielny and hits the post.

Great art.

From Houssem Aouar.

All this after the Covid-19.

“He could not train for eight days because it is the protocol to avoid heart damage, explains Rudi Garcia, I knew I was going to play him, he had to be restarted and he did a very good job. Entrance ".

to say the least.

Unlike a Memphis Depay not far from being a shadow of himself at Matmut Atlantique, Houssem Aouar does not seem at all disturbed by the rumors surrounding his future.

“The best OL player in Champions League matches,” says his coach, is still there.

And he shows it.

"I hope he is not the only barometer for OL"

So he didn't allow OL to come away with the victory, but he was therefore really not far from it.

Physically ready and still technically just as fair, he accentuated the domination of his team at the end of the game (20 shots to 5): "Houssem (Aouar) came back very well, he was almost the spark, it was all over. near.

I would have liked him to be rewarded.

Too bad.

Afterwards, I would like to say that we were very solid and this must be emphasized, ”recalls Anthony Lopes.

On the other hand, he especially did not want to get wet when discussing the future of his teammate:

“Of course we would like him to stay with us after it's football.

It's life that wants that if we lose it.

I don't know what's going to happen.

I am not the general manager, I am not the president.

I'm not qualified to answer (smiles).

"

Rudi Garcia who considers that “this is the great Braderie de Lille” at the moment at OL has not returned to the situation of his international midfielder.

But he "hopes that Aouar is not the only barometer of his team and that there are others" to put into perspective the huge important taken by his player over the years.

While preparing the ground for an upcoming departure.

He reassures himself as best he can.

But in Bordeaux, Aouar did well more in 30 minutes than others in 90. And above all, his influence on his team has never been so important ...
