“You have to know how to put your ass on the ground in every match”, claims Lyonnais Anthony Lopes

The Lyon goalkeeper takes stock after his team’s new defeat, the fourth in a row in L1.

Anthony Lopes (OL goalkeeper, after the defeat of Les Gones in Lens) : «We didn’t show anything, not much anyway. We are in a complicated situation. When it doesn’t turn out in our favor on game facts like that, it’s because we don’t deserve anything. We start again with a defeat, it’s four in a row and it’s starting to do a lot. In fact, it was already starting to do a lot before… Most prominent Lyonnais? I’m just doing my job. If I have the chance to keep the team afloat, I do. But I don’t even know if we hit on goal (4 shots, 0 on target, editor’s note). It shows (what we did in this match) as a whole. We tried to delay the deadline as long as possible. But when you don’t deserve, there is a fact of play, a hand, and that results in a penalty. In terms of manner, state of mind, the copy is not fulfilled, far from it.

The reasons for the bad pass? I would love to tell you. If we knew, we would have remedied it… We will have to find solutions between us and know how to tell each other things. It is very insufficient. A club like OL, which aspires to seek the best European places, the Champions League, we are very far from it. The gap is widening. When you take zero points over the last four days… You have to know how to put your ass on the ground in each match. There, we didn’t do it… We knew that Lens would be all on merit. They showed an impeccable state of mind and we knew that they would be pushed by a public on fire. We should have done a lot more. Friday we play at home. It will be very complicated after four games without a win… We will have to go for a result against Toulouse, take the three points and make it all the way to the World Cup. We can’t go back, all we have to do is review the images, analyze what hasn’t been and quickly move forward because we are very short of point.(on Amazon Prime Video)
