OL: Bosz takes advantage of Emerson’s arrival to tackle some of his players

Asked about the arrival of Emerson Palmieri, Olympique Lyonnais coach Peter Bosz did not hide his joy at welcoming a player whose mentality is visibly exemplary.

“I’m glad he’s here. He was in a club where you have to win every game and he has a mentality that not everyone has ”, underlined the Dutch technician about the arrival within his squad of the Italian international. The European champion should bring a certain stability to the Lyon defense, much criticized after the rout in Angers. His experience will also be important for OL after the chaotic start of the season on the sporting and extra-sporting level.

Before the reception of Clermont this Sunday as part of the 3rd day of Ligue 1, the coach of the Rhone club had defended the position of his management on the sidelining of Brazilian central defender Marcelo after his “inappropriate” behavior in the locker room. “Did this affect the group? I hope so. We are men. He is a teammate and that will affect. The club made the decision and I agree. What will happen in the future, I don’t know. The club will discuss this with Marcelo. We made this decision together. We talked about it and it will stay between us. This is not a reason to send a message. We made this decision because we thought it was important for the team and the club ”, he had confided.
