Olympique Lyonnais reacted this Saturday in a press release to resume the Spanish championship. Its president Jean-Michel Aulas also took the opportunity to tackle the LFP and affirm once again that France had made the wrong choice.
Aulas is still back on the end of the season
—
Here is a press release that we weren’t expecting. This Saturday evening, Olympique Lyonnais reacted … the expected resumption of football in Spain. While the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has announced that the matches can take place from the week of June 8, a resumption of the Liga as envisaged on Friday 12, OL gets excited of this decision. And take the opportunity to launch a message.
Lyon challenges President Emmanuel Macron
Olympique Lyonnais hopes that the example of Spain coming after that of Germany will make it possible to reconsider the decision taken in France too hastily , writes Lyon, who calls on President Emmanuel Macron to support the spirit of a France that reacts to its European competitors . While explaining that France has pushed back the pandemic to allow the controlled recovery of training and tomorrow we hope for competition .
In its press release, the Rhone club also highlights the role played by the La Liga president, Javier Tebas, who has successfully implemented the recommendations dictated by UEFA during the various meetings in which French football was represented by FFF General Manager Florence Hardouin and LFP General Director Didier Quillot in his country. A way of pointing the finger at the decisions of French authorities during the crisis.
Aulas tackles the LFP
In an interview with L’Equipe, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is more virulent. It is still a height, this story, annoys the Lyon boss. For the past two months, the Spanish leaders have been observing and working in phase with UEFA. What is paradoxical is that they attended, Javier Tebas in particular, the same meetings as Didier Quillot. I am thinking in particular of April 23.
In reality, what they said about this meeting with UEFA was “patience”. When we see that our leaders attended, by drawing different conclusions, we say that we are really too stupid, excuse me for the term , launches the boss of Gones, before continuing: Who definitively stopped with France? The Netherlands, Belgium one day before the end, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein … But who are our competitors? England, Italy, Spain and Germany. We have to stop being locked up.
For JMA, we had to try to take back
Among his detractors, many remind him that the coronavirus is still there and that contamination is always possible in players. Aulas recognizes that the risks exist, but he believes that France should, at least, have tried to resume its competitions. We see that there is a protocol before, during, and also after the matches, observe “JMA”. And if we realize that the risks materialize, well we stop!
I never said that we had to go all the way if there was contamination , he enchants. Would his speech have been the same if the decision to end the Ligue 1 season had not disadvantaged OL (7th)? I promise you that, I swear to you on the head of my children. I am not at all the character that some have described lately. We understood that Aulas has not yet given up.
What do you think of this new reaction from Aulas and OL? Do not hesitate to react and debate in the area add a comment …
