This match comes in a positive dynamic, which is also similar to that of Lyon, a series of good matches and points collected. OL are one of the big teams in this championship. They got off to a bad start, but they were able to pull themselves together and are gradually regaining their standing in Ligue 1. It will inevitably be a big challenge for us, as it is every time at Moustoir against this type of opponent, but we have the desire to take it up.
We arrive, in the period in which we have passed, to consider that It is the game above all that must allow us to escape from this part. The result or the fear of defeat is very tense, and at one point, from a psychological point of view, it is difficult to manage or to generate a form of creativity to win matches. The challenge is to focus on yourself and improve your game.

Manager on Lyon...INJURY REPORT
Alexandre Lacazette trained separately, we’ll see tomorrow. Concerning Mangala, he is unwell, we will take stock tomorrow. Nicolas Tagliafico took a little knock yesterday, he left the session, but he should be fine.
...ABOUT MATCH
It was a match that made me think like all matches. We remember that we were able to impose what we had planned at the start of the match, but then we let the opponent express themselves too much in our camp. Then, we concede a goal from set pieces. We have to be much more clinical to impact the match. The fact of not scoring when we had three situations, two of which were clear, had a psychological impact on us. We were also dealing with an opponent capable of showing a lot of intensity.
...OPPONENT
It is a direct opponent with the objective of maintaining itself and the idea is to get us closer to 35 points. I think that with 35 points, we will be in the right situation to maintain ourselves. Lorient has changed its squad a little, with a coach who works over the long term. It took time because there was a lot of movement. Time has been beneficial to him and we can see that positive things are taking hold.
