Hugo Guillemet is not kind to three OL players, despite Lyon’s qualification for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The journalist from L’Equipe justifies his mockery.
Specialist in Olympique Lyonnais, and in particular in the transfer window of the Rhone club, Hugo Guillemet attended the match between OL and FC Saint-Cyr at Mont d’Or on Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium. And even if Paulo Fonseca’s team qualified with a flattering score (3-0), the copy produced by the Lyon players absolutely did not convince the supporters and even less the journalists. If he does not want to hit too hard on Olympique Lyonnais, Hugo Guillemet still admits that three players unfortunately confirmed against the R1 club that they did not really have the level to evolve sustainably under the Rhone jersey. The three players concerned are Mathys De Carvalho, Martin Satriano and Adam Karabec.
Three OL players do not have the level
In the sports daily, our colleague teases the three Lyon players after the copy handed down against the amateur club. “ The average level of Mathys De Carvalho is perhaps closer to Saint-Cyr-Colonges than to OL, while Martin Satriano was as difficult to see against an R1 as in L1, which will not help him regain confidence. Adam Karabec never dribbles a player as a pro, rather rare for a winger, but this match proved that he is no better against amateurs. The exit of the first at half-time to bring in Pavel Sulc, Lyon’s most decisive player since the start of the season, at least allowed OL to restore some order to their game », notes Hugo Guillemet. The latter, however, believes that the trio is not the only one to have been weak.
Because if Satriano, Karabec and De Carvalho were really a step below, it was the entire Lyon team which was heartbreaking against its neighbor. “ At home against regional players, seeing a team from the top of the Ligue 1 table deliver such a pathetic match was perhaps a first », notes the journalist from L’Equipe. From now on, it is Lille which looms on the road to Olympique Lyonnais in the Coupe de France. To get out of this, you will really have to show something else.
