A goal against his camp in Angers, a shouting (very) badly spent in the locker room after the match and an exfiltration with the Lyon reserve in the wake, there is no need to say, the end of Marcelo's adventure at OL has few equivalents in the history of the club.

Centerpiece of Rudi Garcia's side last season, which pushed (and won) the 34-year-old Brazilian's contract extension until 2023, the defender was warned on Tuesday that new coach Peter Bosz and his staff would not. relied more on him this season.

Lyon leaders are currently negotiating an amicable breach of contract with the former defender of Hanover.

“Olympique Lyonnais informs that following their defeat at Angers and the analysis made by the stakeholders of the Sports Directorate and their coach Peter Bosz, it was decided that their player Marcelo would take part from this day to the training sessions of the PRO 2 group ”, announced the club in a press release.

The craziest part of all this is that Marcelo can do this performance AND open it behind in the locker room.



Call it whatever you want, but it takes quite a bit of panache.

In question, "the inappropriate behavior of Marcelo in the locker room, at the end of the match played in Angers" which "justifies this decision taken unanimously by all the sports management of Olympique Lyonnais.

"According to

L'Equipe

," Marcelo behaved inappropriately with one of his teammates after the game against the SCO and acted in the locker room in a way that was contrary to OL's values.

"

Exceptionally tenured Sunday in Angers because of the combined absences of Jason Denayer (Covid) and Damien Da Silva (suspension), the central defender delivered a catastrophic match, punctuated by a memorable csc to offer the 2-0 to the men of Gerald Baticle.

So before adding a layer in the locker room without knowing exactly what is going on.

The club sends a message to the whole group

What is certain is that Marcelo will no longer play in the jersey of OL team 1, the latter already actively seeking his replacement, as we can read in the press release: “Olympique Lyonnais would also like to point out that the Football Directorate is actively working on several targeted recruitment avenues, in close consultation with its coach Peter Bosz ”.

The club also took the opportunity of this press release to send a clear message to the entire group.

“The Sports Management of Olympique Lyonnais recalls that all of its players must demonstrate an unwavering state of mind and commitment to quickly find results in line with the club's ambitions.

“After two days of the championship, OL are in 17th place in Ligue 1 and the state of mind displayed by the players in Angers has not been to the liking of its new coach at all.
