It was a game of the season. On Wednesday, April 5th, Olympique Lyonnais faced FC Nantes in La Beaujoire in the Coupe de France semi-finals. Gones, who lagged behind the league in the race for a place in Europe, could win a valuable ticket to the Europa League if he wins the competition. However, facing an over-excited Nantes audience, Laurent Blanc’s players lost (1-0) and saw their last hope in Europe vanish.
After the meeting, Laurent Blanc did not hide his pain and disappointment. “This elimination is a disappointment, embarrassing for us. Important teams were eliminated before us, we were in the last four, but our path ends here. I don’t know how to reactivate my players. The question doesn’t come up tonight. I will discuss it tomorrow afternoon. We’ll see. Yes, we are not so lucky to be European but we still have these nine games and we will have to play them.“, reassured at a press conference. After Football (RMC) asked Daniel Riolo to discuss the Rayan Cherki case to get information from the meeting. The 19-year-old striker didn’t focus on the game, but the sports reporter said the worry goes beyond the losing semi-final.
“For two months in Lyon, all offensive power was given to Rayan Cherki. He can move forward in his life, I don’t know. Still, that’s all you can’t do when I see him there. He’s an ultra-limited football IQ. When I see the Mbappé clan making his career for him, I think they will send him to the wall. They are in charge of managing this player’s career, but I don’t know what they find in him. What’s missing is the head. It has no head. He does a class action once in a while, the rest is jelly. The problem is not with him, it is to have made him the offensive leader of this team.“He left.
@DanielRiolo : “Rayan Cherki can advance, I don’t know. He’s definitely young. I can’t when I see him there. That’s the only thing for me to do. His IQ is extremely limited. Tonight was football. mush.” pic.twitter.com/tgpeHtLlA0
