After pushing for the highlighting of Rayan Cherki, rightly given the recent performances of the young French striker, OL supporters decided to do everything to put Mohamed El Arouch in the starting XI.
In Lyon, the players trained at the academy are always special in the eyes of the supporters. Almost every season, the Gones push to see the best young people join the first team, like Gusto or Cherki in recent seasons. From now on, the Lyonnais only speak of Mohamed El Arouch. Main actor of OL’s success in the Gambardella Cup last season, a trophy that Lyon had not won since 1997, the midfielder is starting to make his mark with the pros. Long blacklisted by Laurent Blanc, the native of Orange took advantage of the absences of Tolisso or Aouar and the injury of Thiago Mendes during the match against Angers on Saturday (3-1) to play his first minutes of play in L1 . Entering the 90th, the 18-year-old only touched a few balls, enough to show what he was capable of with a beautiful ball comeback in added time. An action that inevitably inflamed OL followers on social networks, as confirmed by Jean-François Gomez.
Twitter wants to see El Arouch more often

But a coach and a staff can feel things differently. In the case of El Arouch, it is in any case not the attitude that can cause concern. The boy, composed, attentive to advice, has long understood that a career is not made by skipping the steps. But at the moment, he wouldn’t be against a little boost., wrote the journalist of Progrès, who knows that El Arouch could have a nice shot at the end of the season. If he continues to show good things, the midfielder could convince Laurent Blanc to give him more playing time. From this week against Grenoble in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France? Lyon supporters are only asking for that…
