TOPS
The Lyon midfielder was everywhere on Friday, during his team’s 2-1 victory at poorly ranked Metz. Involved in both recovery and forward progression, he touched more than 100 balls, acting like a veritable metronome throughout the match. His contribution is reflected in particular by 79 successful passes out of 97 attempts, offering particular assurance to his defense. His role in midfield appears to be well defined, playing higher up than when he played sentry at Rennes before his transfer this winter.
His association with Nemanja Matic works wonderfully. The young Lyonnais, trained at the club, continued his good momentum and once again played an important role in midfield. He put the ball on target twice and gave the ball to Benrahma for Lyon’s second goal. He won 67% of his duels (6/9) and recovered eight balls.
The Lyonnais winger was once again impactful on his side, centered on numerous occasions and he repeatedly put the Metz defense and Matthieu Udol, the Metz captain, in difficulty.
FLOPS
The Olympique Lyonnais scorer had a lot of trouble. He lost several balls, including the one that caused Mikautadze’s goal, and did not try anything dangerous in attack. Pierre Sage made no mistake in taking him out at… half-time. Replaced by Saïd Benhrama, scorer.
They exceeded the limits by entering the pitch at the end of the match. Silent in the first 15 minutes as a sign of protest, the West stand in particular invaded the pitch at the end of the match, causing chaos and interrupting the interview with Pierre Sage by Prime Video.
