Pop the abscess, under penalty of ending up "in the wall".

The president of Olympique Lyonnais Jean-Michel Aulas calls for a "summit meeting" with the French women's team to evacuate the tensions that shake the Blue, torn between the coach Corinne Deacon and several OL players.

"How to consider that the women's Euro (in 2022) can take place in good conditions when we see that the best are in conflict with the coach?

", He asked Thursday evening in an interview with AFP.

"If there is a subject to be treated, it must be treated"

Dominant on the European scene and winner in August of a seventh Women's Champions League, the fifth in a row, the Lyon team is a major supplier of French internationals, but tensions have recently appeared between several of its players, among the most famous, and the breeder.

“I was in the Champions League final where OL had just won a 5th consecutive title.

The girls would have liked to share this victory with their coach who did not come down from the stands, ”regretted the boss of the Lyon club.

“Either there is excessive shyness on his part, or there is a subject to be dealt with and it must be dealt with.

If I have to help, I will do it but it is necessary, before the next meeting of the France team, a meeting at the top of the whole team, the coach and the president of the FFF, Noël Le Graët, to start again from the good start after everyone has come out.

Otherwise, we will go into the wall, ”he claimed.

"We must bring them together one last time so that the coach can transparently respond to the objections of her best players and that everyone comes out with clear and united ideas," insisted "JMA".

Bouhaddi adds a layer

"We have never seen a national team for boys or girls succeed in an international competition without being united and united", recalled the leader.

On Wednesday, in a program broadcast on OLTV, Lyon goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi, who was on the sidelines of the national team, assured "that winning a title with this coach, with whom we are in a daily fight", seemed "impossible" to him.

The October rally was marked by the non-selection of Captain Amandine Henry, a choice criticized by some Lyonnaise and which rekindled questions about the supposedly very fresh relationship between Deacon and OL executives.
