Still looking for its first victory this season, Olympique Lyonnais lost again in Reims (2-0) on Sunday afternoon and will occupy last place in Ligue 1 at the end of the seventh day. Two weeks after the appointment of the Italian Fabio Grosso to their bench, OL have not emerged from the crisis born from their poor start to the championship and still only have two points. “ I see the light deep down, you have to go look for it, get tired to get there », Commented Fabio Grosso after the meeting, resolutely optimistic. After the defeat in Brest (1-0), last weekend, the Italian decided to innovate by opting for a new system with five defenders and offering their first start to three players: Irish defender Jake O’ Brien, midfielder Skelly Alvero and Guinea-Bissau striker Mama Baldé. Absent from the starting lineup in Finistère, Rayan Cherki was this time lined up from the start, but gave up his place in the 53rd minute, replaced by Ernest Nuamah, after a discreet first act. The suspension of Alexandre Lacazette undoubtedly weighed on the lack of offensive consistency of OL, unable to score for the third consecutive time and worst attack in the championship (three goals). Unresponsive and harmless despite the changes made by their coach in the second half, OL appeared without a solution. The transalpine technician’s work seems immense to get this team out of the relegation zone, four points away.
