With 26 goals scored, Alexandre Lacazette has made a successful return to OL. The club, which will be without Dejan Lovren and Sinaly Diomandé, injured, against Reims on Saturday (9 p.m.), will do everything to help it overtake Kylian Mbappé (28 goals). “There are personal and collective motivations, admits Laurent Blanc. If the team shines, Alexandre will shine. He’s finishing so he needs balls. If we can help him with his personal goal, we will. Let’s create opportunities! » Lacazette is waiting for that. During a press briefing this Thursday noon, the captain looked back on his great season.
You talked about high goals this season…
It’s true that I set the bar quite high because coming back was still a challenge. I didn’t want to disappoint and my teammates trusted me.
“I feel good, it makes me happy to be recognized as the captain, I have the support of the locker room and the club. It comforts me”
Were you surprised by recent internal changes?
I didn’t expect all that but we also know that in a football club, everything can happen very very quickly.
Why such a difference between the two parts of the season, between the home and away matches?
The coach’s requests take effect. We understand his quest and his requirement to succeed at the highest level. And as soon as we win, we have more confidence, there are several factors in short.
“Bradley Barcola enjoys making efforts, helping the team and he thinks collectively. It’s wonderful for me to play with him.”
You are thinking of the record of Fleury Di Nallo, top scorer in OL history (222 against 159 goals currently for Alexandre Lacazette) ?
I have two years left… Don’t you trust me? (smile) We will see in one or two years where I am.
You won’t lobby?
I don’t even know who to talk to (smile) ? »
