OL have made a crazy rise in the standings and now occupy 9th place in Ligue 1. Better yet, Les Gones formalized their stay in the elite thanks to Lorient’s defeat against PSG, breaking a record in the process. Until then, no team in the history of the French championship had achieved such a performance after taking only 7 points during the first 14 days. This performance must nevertheless be put into perspective since OL spent €55 million this winter to bring in 7 new recruits, and help them with their maintenance mission. Pierre Sage gave a rather astonishing speech at a press conference, two days before the Monaco reception. According to him, this rescue in Ligue 1 is a great achievement on the part of the club, forgetting in passing the means made available for this.

“We have become gentrified, very concretely. We are hardly victims of the good run we had. The demands and expectations are enormous. The objectives we display are also different. What happened, going from last place to being maintained with four days to go, is not neutral. The club will emerge grown. We played with everyone’s fear, when we play with everyone’s fear, we have to remember to appreciate the simple things, including appreciating maintenance for what it is. What happened with the confirmation of our retention in Ligue 1, we can almost associate it with a rise in Ligue 2, because at one point we were in Ligue 2. It went unnoticed and it is in this sense that I think we have become gentrified based on our ambitions. Of course, we are OL. But we must also remember what we have experienced”recalls the Lyon coach.
