On Wednesday, Olympique de Marseille face Olympique Lyonnais in the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France. A match for which the Gones feel disadvantaged …
And for good reason, Jean-Michel Aulas regretted after the defeat against PSG that OM have a much longer recovery time. The boss of the Gones even said that the OL players were obliged to stay in Paris on Sunday evening due to the storm Ciara, which would further disrupt the preparation of Rudi Garcia’s players. “There, we will not be able to return to Lyon because there is wind. So the players will come back Monday noon to play Wednesday evening … How can we make sure to play this match on Wednesday for us, when we asked to play Thursday “ railed the president of the Gones at the end of the match.
In reality, Jean-Michel Aulas has bluffed. At least that is what Le Progrès claims, indicating that Olympique Lyonnais was able to take the plane on Sunday evening to return to the Rhône. According to the regional daily, Jason Denayer’s partners were able to return to Le Bourget Airport and return to Lyon by air, landing in Bron around 3 a.m. “This does not prevent the Lyonnais may still suffer from a recovery deficit compared to the Marseillais for the quarter-final of the Coupe de France scheduled for Wednesday, since the Phocaeans played at home 26 hours before” said the media, for whom it would not be surprising to see Olympique Lyonnais suffer in the face of the freshness of Olympique de Marseille, Wednesday evening at 9:05 pm on the lawn of Groupama Stadium.
