Before a trip to Metz, Friday (9:00 p.m.) during the 23rd day of Ligue 1, where OL will have the opportunity to put at least nine points between themselves and direct relegation, Pierre Sage returned to the adaptation by Saïd Benrahma, who had his first two starts in Montpellier (2-1) and against Nice (1-0). “He needs to play,” underlines the Lyon coach, “to see how his partners play, how the team plays, that is to say, to integrate what the staff asks. But every match is a step forward. »
Pierre Sage admitted to having spoken to him, after what we considered to be a difficult start: “I told him face to face that it is not only up to him to adapt, that it is also the team that must adapt to him. This is true for everyone. If each player entered the common framework, we would lose a little of their particular talent, and that is not the idea. »
For the meeting in Metz, OL will still be without Corentin Tolisso, whose return could arrive as early as Tuesday, at Groupama Stadium, against Strasbourg in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. Argentinian defender Nicolas Tagliafico will be suspended.
