Lopes, deprived of goodbyes
While he said goodbye to Parc OL during the last League match last Sunday against Strasbourg, Anthony Lopes should not be lined up this evening against Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France final. In competition with Lucas Perri, the Portuguese received the support of Jérôme Rothen. “I think it’s a lack of competitive spirit to play the second goalkeeper in the Coupe de France when there are only two competitions to play. But I’m sorry, you have to put the best players in the final so with Lopes in place of Perri you could have a little more class. He has given the club 24 years. He has been number one in Lyon. a trophy you have the opportunity to give him this last match and maybe a trophy, do you think he won’t climb the curtain if you put it on? , I’m sure he would have taken charge and carried the others when it was difficult because the match will be “said the former professional player in his show on RMC. At a press conference, Pierre Sage did not share his decision on the choice of his starting goalkeeper: “I spoke to the guards on Wednesday it seems. This remains between us. I prefer to wait before responding to you”.
Facing Paris Saint-Germain, the Lyon coach prefers to play down the stakes of this final: “It’s difficult to characterize it. My answer will surprise you, but I take it as an extra match. It’s a great chance to be able to play one more match when everyone is already on vacation. A chance for us and so for me”. He trusts his players not to be caught by the pressure: “I think it doesn’t come down to the level of a team but of individuals. In both squads, it is possible that players feel a form of pressure. But from the kick-off given, there is a match to play. Some will be inhibited, others stimulated by the idea of playing it. Let’s make sure that our players are all stimulated..
Mbappé holder? “Of course” according to Luis Enrique
Not fielded by Luis Enrique during the last two Parisian matches in Ligue 1 in Nice and Metz, Kylian Mbappé will play his last match with PSG this evening in the final of the Coupe de France. At a press conference, the Spaniard confirmed it: “You want to know if he’s going to play? Of course”. Despite the title in Ligue 1 and the elimination in the Champions League, the technician underlined the involvement of his players: “The involvement of all the players was perfect. I think the credit goes not to me, but to the match we play tomorrow, because it’s a final. There will be the two supporters’ corners, 90 minutes and a possible extension, it’s always a special match I’m delighted with what I see in training, all the players have the right attitude.”.
Luis Enrique took advantage of the press conference to praise the qualities of Pierre Sage and his group: “Pierre Sage arrived 27 games ago, and he has incredible statistics. He turned around a very difficult situation, very spectacularly. He is a great coach. There is a lot of individual quality in this team, especially in attack. It’s a team with a different dynamic, talent. In the last match, there was one type of defense in the first half, another in the second, at one point, you have to play your part. -everything, so we will surely see different things. They are a very dangerous team when they have the ball and who managed to create chances against us.
