As if relieved of a weight. A little less than two weeks ago, OL finally obtained their first victory in Ligue 1, on the Rennes pitch. The first after 12 days where nothing went as planned. Les Gones finally found a smile again for one evening, but a simple glance at the ranking allows them to keep their feet on the ground. They are still last in the championship but are only 4 points behind the current play-off, Lorient. In other words, the situation remains very fragile and the international break ultimately came at a bad time for Lyon.

After this break, it’s difficult to continue. Some players left for the selection and Grosso found himself with only part of his squad. This is undoubtedly why he did not hesitate to shake up his troops before the reception in Lille on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) at the end of this 13th day. “Yes, it’s nice to take points but we had to move on straight away. We had this victory on this difficult terrain but now we have to continue, at least try to continue to give ourselves continuity in what we have shown”alerts the Italian, his face less and less marked after the incidents in Marseille.

The start of a process for Grosso
He warns his players for the future. “It’s important to always try to win. You have to have this feeling of working well, hard, that way it’s easier to put in the effort during matches. We worked on several things, we did interesting things, with a good state of mind. We couldn’t win, we managed there but we have to build a course: solidify this team, become strong. We have the qualities to get the points and get out of this situation. We have to see this over a long period of time”continues the coach at a press conference.

Especially since Tagliafico, Tolisso and Lepenant will be absent for this match against LOSC, a team in good form. “We play a very strong team, which hasn’t lost for a while. I think it’s an opportunity for those who are going to play.” The turn over doesn’t scare him very much. Since his arrival at Lyon, Grosso is used to changes from one match to another. “All players are important. There comes a time when you have to use players who play less. (…) They want it when they enter. We have young players who are coming on, and they are not used to it. We need changes.” Even on a winning team.
