There was a first year where we experimented. Recruitment may not have been directly related to what Peter wanted. We intend to think about how we can improve the group, we will have the means to invest to ensure that Peter’s aspirations are met. We hope to continue the adventure. The staff in place corresponds to what we want. after the European failureA crisis situation, exceptional measures. Jean-Michel Aulas dreamed of a Europa League title to secure OL’s European future. But the elimination against West Ham (1-1, 0-3) put an end to the ambitions of the Lyonnais who must shine during the last seven days of the season in Ligue 1 to win qualification on the continental scene. Facing journalists this Friday, the Rhone president called for the sacred union of supporters, staff and players for the final sprint. “We thought it was good to come together to discuss the result against West Ham, and the consequences for the future to get us out of this mess, launched Jean-Michel Aulas at a press conference. I want to address the vast majority of supporters who are very sad and very disappointed as we are are: the first 30 minutes and the match in general were magnificent thanks to everyone who participated. […] When you invest to come and see a quarter-final of the European Cup, you want the party to be beautiful and the result to be up to par. I want to tell them that we share their sadness. The future of Bosz was discussed in particular. We also look at leadership, it’s not easy. All teams want leaders, but it’s not easy to be a leader, you also have to be one in defeats. Is it a shortage in the workforce? Yes.” “I spoke to the players this morning. I understand that they are disappointed. But it must be finished before Sunday. The most important and toughest match of this season is Sunday against Bordeaux. You have to prepare well, it starts today. Tomorrow we will train again. No excuses on Sunday, you have to win.” 1:10 p.m. Bosz on OL’s lack of efficiency “I’m not here to see which player could have been there or not. We had chances yesterday, we don’t score enough goals, it’s my job to make sure we score more goals. We need goals to win games. You are right, we miss too many chances.” 13:09 Aulas: “I am sad for the supporters” had never seen that. We gave a great image of the club during the first 30 minutes. I understand that the supporters are disillusioned in a certain way. But those who have football experience know that it’s just a game that comes at a bad time. When I look at the stats, it’s unbelievable. We have a lack of efficiency. The supporters may be disappointed, I’m sad for them but we’re not going to stop at a failure even if it hurt a lot.”1:04 p.m.Aulas: “A possibility of getting out of it”Aulas: “We have quality players, who may not have been able to meet our aspirations at some point (…) but we will play on solidarity. We will recover Caqueret for the end of the season, I have confidence. It’s our club, we feel that there is a possibility of getting out of it. (…) Football has changed over the past 10 years. You know that PSG arrived with totally different means from before. Probably other clubs have also succeeded, like Lille. There is of course a challenge. We do it every time. We had a coach (Genesio, editor’s note) who did not please some supporters, who was criticized by journalists, and who today is doing quite well to our detriment… We see that OL have remained the 1st French European club over time. We will see what will happen. We will seize this challenge.” “We need to have economic rules so that everyone has a chance. The commercial company has just been created, thanks to Vincent Labrune, it will give a breath of fresh air to French football. OL is one of the clubs that will be able to get help. We are in good health, we will be able to reposition ourselves. Clubs that are at our level, there are not many others. We may have the impression that it is an infamy not to have won titles for 10 years, but we have won titles with the women and our academy performs on a recurring basis. You have to be objective. I am proud of what has been done. We have the means to return to the OL of ten years ago.” 12:58 Bosz on the current situation: “I’m not giving up” “It’s not easy. We know good times and hard times like last night in football. The goals are clear here and it’s hard when you don’t win. But I don’t give up. It’s a big challenge. Few people in this room believe we’re going to make it. It’s my first year here, not always easy with the language and when you don’t sleep much. But at the same time it’s a big challenge for me, I don’t give up, I’m going to push the players. I believe it is possible. We haven’t made a series this season, we need it. It’s not easy, but it’s a challenge, we’ll get there, absolutely.”12:56 Aulas; “We’re going to ask the players to question them”Aulas: “When you say that the players are comfortable , what are you thinking about ? Since Peter’s arrival, we have reinforced discipline and high standards. A player who arrives late does not play, it takes a lot of effort. When they go to play on the other side of the world, we tend to bring them back by private plane. I modified the speech a little by saying that we believe we are doing the maximum, so we are going to ask the players a little more. We think we can save the season with our results. But the risk exists, the players must realize that we no longer have the right to make mistakes, we will ask them for a postponement, we will wash our dirty laundry with the family, we will exchange. I don’t think players do it on purpose. The drop in mental speed after the first goal against West Ham, we can’t really explain it.” Ponsot: “We have to make a distinction between the championship and our very qualitative European campaign. We have again experienced special circumstances this week: injuries, covid… You have to have all your top players in a match like that. We are not looking for excuses but…”12:51 Bosz: “You have to be realistic, not romantic”Bosz: “I would like more aggressive football, with higher pressing. We have to play football to win the games at the end of the season, we have to be realistic rather than romantic for the last 7 games. We are going to play football that will correspond to this objective. A global workforce problem? Yes. We can’t fall as we saw yesterday, that can’t happen.”12:49 Ponsot: “We saw Caqueret recently” (for his future)Ponsot: “If the objectives are not achieved, we will ask ourselves questions. It is never the responsibility of just one party. It will be a collective responsibility, we will have to do the right analysis. The players ? Yes there will be a construction site. We have a better understanding of Peter’s expectations. We saw Caqueret recently, it’s a good example of what we want to have on the players.” 12:47 Bosz on the end of the season Bosz: “We have to make a series. This can help us. You need wins. When we see our first 30 minutes against West Ham, the players were not sleeping. But you have to make a series so win the matches.” 12:46 Ponsot and Aulas on the upcoming transfer windowPonsot: “The president said it, if we are in this situation, it is because things have not gone well done. Recruitment is certainly one of the points.” Aulas: “We are already working on it. We will be there economically and we know Peter’s precise aspirations. We made some great acquisitions. It is clear that there are surely changes to be made. We are not going to let go of our ambitions even if the year was not successful.”12:44 Aulas and Ponsot on the future of Bosz”We found a staff that corresponds to what we need at OL, with experience, a foreign culture that was demanded by many supporters. There was a first year where we groped. The recruitment may not have been directly related to what Peter wanted. We intend to think about how to improve the group, we will have the means to invest in order to meet Peter’s aspirations. We hope to continue the adventure. The staff in place corresponds to what we want.” Ponsot: “We will take stock at the end of the season. There is no lethargy with us. If the objectives are not met, conclusions will have to be drawn, but there are 7 games left, we are not giving up. We will learn the lessons of this season at the end.”12:40 Aulas: “The players must realize the seriousness of the situation” “Like Barcelona or Bergamo, we have not been able to pass this course. From there, you have to straighten up, find the springs, make sure to be united. We show that we are united on this reaction that is going to take place. Players need to realize the seriousness of the situation. We have to be on the move as leaders to ensure that the players show that they have the necessary qualities. For me, there are 7 games left, there is still a chance of being able to participate in a European Cup. This must result in a reaction on Sunday. We did not know how to give the joy that the supporters deserved. the consequences for the future to get us out of this mess. I want to address the vast majority of fans who are very sad: the first 30 minutes and the match in general were magnificent thanks to everyone who participated. When you invest to come, you want the party to be beautiful and the result to be up to par. I want to tell them that we share their sadness. The responsibility we have is not to stop at yesterday’s dry result, which is negative. We did not meet expectations in terms of results. The players lost their sense of what to do after the first goal. When you are a leader, you have to do an objective analysis. There are 7 games left, the group is structured.”12:34Aulas in upcoming conference with Ponsot and BoszThe OL press conference in the presence of President Jean-Michel Aulas, General Manager of Football Vincent Ponsot, and Peter Bosz , will start soon. :53Tensions with the supportersThe end of the OL-West Ham match, Thursday evening at Groupama Stadium, was marked by strong tensions with the supporters, who tried to enter the pitch by forcing the security gates. his side, warmed up with a loyal Lyonnais. was eliminated from the Europa League on Thursday evening after a heavy home defeat against West Ham (3-0).
