  • Before the derby between ASSE and OL, the tradition of supporters is to give voice to the last training before the match or to accompany the players' coach.

  • Despite the health context and the near prospect of a third confinement in France, more than 2,000 OL fans gathered this Sunday morning in front of the stadium, to encourage their players before this shock behind closed doors in the Cauldron.

  • The smoke has multiplied in Décines for this pre-derby.

For ten days, the two main groups of the turns of the Parc OL had asked the Lyon supporters, via their Facebook account, to block their January 24 morning.

This announcement concludes with the formula “Forever and forever, Stéphanois I hate you!

», Left no room for doubt: the idea was to launch the derby in a spectacular way this Sunday (9 pm) in Saint-Etienne.

"Let's show our players that a whole people are behind them to establish our regional supremacy", specified the Bad Gones and Lyon 1950 on Wednesday.

Like last season, with this memorable sequence of a Sylvinho in a trance among the supporters before losing in the Cauldron (1-0) ... his last match as an OL coach, the Lyonnais were keen to to mark the hit.

Due to the confinement, the tradition of these supporters gatherings before a derby had not taken place in Lyon or Saint-Etienne for the first leg on November 8.

"Essential to show players that it is forbidden to lose the derby"

Like the Lensois before their shock in Lille on October 18, more than 2,000 OL supporters had a great time in front of their stadium this Sunday morning, until the players left by coach, heading for from Saint-Etienne, shortly before noon.

In the midst of numerous smoke bombs, with relative respect for barrier gestures, they recalled how special this meeting was for each of them.

A necessarily strong moment, more than ten months after their last match in a Ligue 1 stadium. "It feels good to find lots of friends lost to follow-up after all this time, recognizes Jean-Pierre, subscribed to the north turn and present this Sunday.

More than ever seen the context of the games behind closed doors, it seems essential to me to come and show the players, in particular the new ones who have never seen the OL Park full, that it is forbidden to lose the derby.

"

The atmosphere was much more subdued on Saturday at the Greens training center in L'Etrat (Loire).

As

, around a hundred supporters also gathered shortly before noon on the Givors motorway bridge, on the border between the Rhône and Loire departments.

A few jets of smoke around the highway were observed by the police crews present.

Even behind closed doors, this meeting still transcends Lyon and Sainté.
