Qualified for the knockout stages of the Coupe de France, OL will know their opponent on Tuesday. Captain, Corentin Tolisso does not hold back anything in this competition.
Monaco, Lille… To attack the new year, OL had a lot to do from the start. Having found their way to victory just before the break, the Lyonnais knew that they would be expected around the corner and that these two trips would determine the weeks to come. In this rather calm transfer window for the moment, the Rhone team has not created any unnecessary turbulence.
After a victory in the Principality in Ligue 1, it followed up with a controlled success (1-2) in the Coupe de France in the north of France. Two successful tests to the great pleasure of Corentin Tolisso. “We knew that it was going to come down to details. We knew that Lille put a lot of intensity, they ran a lot. We had to run more than them. This (Sunday) evening, we showed great things, both technically and in combativeness, rejoiced the captain on beIN Sports. We have to continue like this, we had two big matches in 2026, we won them. This bodes well for the future.”
“We want to win a trophy”
With the receipt of Brest Sunday for the tenth anniversary of Parc OL, the Lyonnais do not want to spoil everything at home. This would allow them to continue to fight for the podium while the Coupe de France will only be back in a few weeks. As we celebrate a decade at Décines, this trophy which would make the difference is still missing. Why not with the Coupe de France? Tolisso nothing is forbidden. “We know that there are a few games to win it. Afterwards, it’s never easy to win here. We are qualified for the 8th, of course OL want to win a trophy. It’s been so many years since we won one.” He would thus be the first captain to win a title at OL since 2012. But the road remains long despite everything, especially since the plateau still remains high.
