13:45 – Bosz under pressure
Returned after a disappointing eighth place, Peter Bosz is struggling to find the recipe to compete at the top of the table. For the moment the Lyonnais are 5th in the standings before receiving the Paris Saint-Germain this weekend. Not alarming but not really reassuring either when you know that OL are aiming for the podium. One thing is certain, internally we consider that this is not enough and that the Gones coach must do better. According to the latest information from the team, the Dutch coach has goals set by his management and could be dismissed in the event of poor results. The Rhone club’s football director, Vincent Ponsot, said in particular about his coach: “We don’t work by saying that if something happens on Sunday, we are going to make such a decision. It doesn’t happen that way. We didn’t wait for the Monaco match to set goals for Peter. We want to get back on the podium. We expect results more quickly than waiting for the end of the season. Peter has goals to achieve set in the truce world Cup (15th day), there are some on the 19th day that have existed since the start with passing times. These objectives will remain between Peter and us. »

09/15/22 – 1:50 p.m. – A defense to strangers
Another sector where Didier Deschamps will have to be creative is defense. With the recent injuries to Kimpembe and Hernandez and the uncertainty surrounding Pavard’s state of form, not to mention Konaté’s absence since early August, the French coach could recall Clément Lenglet (Tottenham), with a rare left axial profile , unless he tries the Wesley Fofana experience, record transfer of the summer after joining Chelsea in exchange for 82.5 million euros. It would not be surprising, however, to see the Marseillais Saliba and Clauss among the lucky winners of this last international window before the World Cup.
