Lyon’s interim coach, Pierre Sage, assured Wednesday that his team, bottom of the championship, was “aware of being in danger” after its clear 3-0 defeat in Marseille.
“You just have to look at the rankings to be aware of being in danger,” declared the Lyon coach at a press conference. “But I don’t think there’s no more hope. We have a duty to work and try to take points. But today we understand why we are at the bottom of the ranking,” he added.
In the first match led by Pierre Sage, Lyon lost 3-2 but gave some encouraging signals. But on Wednesday at the Vélodrome, OM were far superior to the Lyonnais.
“The start of the match did not allow us to repeat what we had put in place against Lens. Our game did not match the intensity imposed by our opponent. There were also tactical problems that we had difficulty resolving,” admitted Pierre Sage.
“We were completely out of control throughout the match, except for a few periods. We suffered the match by leaving the ball,” he also admitted.
