Beneath the circumstances stood the Lyon in the big derby of its 4th matchday Ligue 1, as they were defeated 4-1 from Paris Saint Germain at Groupama Stadium.
After the match, the organized fans of the home team, Bad Gones ultras, asked to speak to the players and among other things mentioned that they are tarnishing the jersey that other players have glorified in the past, while at the end they asked them to work hard on the field so that to sing their names.
“To you, the Olympique Lyonnais 2023-2024 team, this message is addressed to you, to those who have the status of captains in the locker room. The message is clear: if there are leaders in this locker room, they no longer have the right to remain silent. You are wearing the Olympique Lyonnais shirt. You are the ones wearing the OL shirt.
Others before wearing it have praised it. You have no right to tarnish her. Now that the transfer window is over, the team is here. All we ask is to be by your side. But to do that, you have to earn it. We love and respect this jersey.
There is only one more thing we ask: to sing your names. Sing them with love, not like we sang the names of the little ******* who have left our club in the last six months. We want to sing your names with respect, with love. Because we know you play with love. But we expect you to respect our jersey, work hard on the pitch and if we have to accept defeats, do it with our heads held high. Let’s go OL“, were the words of the Lyon fans, while a little later the goalkeeper of the club also spoke, Anthony Lopezsaying:
“We can understand the anger. Today we tried to show a different face in the second half, There are no positives. A lot of things were said at half time but we can’t go back. The damage is done, we’ve had a disastrous month. We got one point in four games. We don’t deserve this”added the Portuguese goalkeeper with the Lyon to be at the bottom of the standings with just one point.
