• OL lost two new points in Bordeaux after a very frustrating draw (2-2) on Matchday 17 of Ligue 1.

  • A result not at all to the taste of Anthony Lopes.

    The goalkeeper gave a huge rant after the game.

  • For him, if there is an emergency, he does not yet want to talk about a crisis at Olympique Lyonnais.

At Matmut Atlantique,

It was the 93rd minute of play. Anthony Lopes came for the umpteenth time since the start of his career to save OL from a bad step by making an extraordinary reflex stop on his line against Mbaye Niang, the Bordeaux striker .

But instead of getting back on his line for the last corner of the game, the fantastic Lyon goalkeeper sprinted towards his own teammate, the Brazilian Lucas Paqueta, to set him on fire after his loss of the ball at the start of the action.

Even if this image is not that rare, it remains extremely strong in the current context among the Gones.

It symbolizes the tension in this team.

Moreover, a few minutes later, Anthony Lopes was still boiling hot in front of the microphones.

He did not mince his words:

“There is nervousness, sadness.

It's a mixture of lots of negative feelings.

Some things will quickly have to be remedied because we have to do a lot, a lot more.

Today, we are twelfth in Ligue 1, which is totally unacceptable when you are OL.

"

Its president, Jean-Michel Aulas, would surely not have said better.

It must be said that this OL team is incorrigible.

Against the Girondins, she conceded another frustrating draw (2-2) after having led twice in the score thanks to a header from Denayer and a superb strike from Mendes in the first half.

So yes this team is nice to watch but it has absolutely no balance.

It goes all over the place.

And more worryingly, Peter Bosz does not seem to find the solution.

In Bordeaux, he set up an inconclusive 3-4-3.

"We are in a hurry"

So what's the Anthony Lopes problem?

State of mind ?

“I think it's a problem of lots of things,” he explains without really saying more.

We are going to have to put our heads right and we will all have to move forward because it is unacceptable what we are doing and our results.

“Illustration of these difficulties, OL have the 15th worst defense in the championship after 17 days this season.

It's a hell of a task especially when you went to look for a Jérôme Boateng or a Damien Da Silva in the transfer window.

But we must not lie to each other, if Anthony Lopes remains unclear today, the Lyon goalkeeper has above all big on the potato compared to the attitude of some of his teammates.

Talent is not everything ...

We are perhaps on the worst defense in the history of Olympique Lyonnais and yet god knows the competition has been fierce.

Faced with a Lopes on the nerves, it was therefore necessary to ask him the question: Are OL in crisis?

“(Sigh)… That's a very strong word.

When you look ahead, no one has really taken a big lead except Paris.

We cannot speak of a crisis because it is a really strong word, but we are in a hurry.

It's certain.

We will have to raise our heads.

"

And very quickly because next Sunday, it will be necessary to go to Lille.

“In the standings, we should not be there, agrees Peter Bosz.

Normally you have to win this game because of our 90 minutes.

We did not win it and for that we are 12th.

Confidence in football is the three points.

If you don't win, the confidence is lower ”.

At OL, it crumbles from week to week.

“We need to do a series to hang up the right car.

On the other hand, for that we will have to be much more regular in our meetings, ”concludes Anthony Lopes with black eyes before joining the bus.
