Foot OL – OL: The players blew up Blanc, the terrible confession – Olympique Lyonnais

Fired from OL after just four days in Ligue 1, Laurent Blanc will not have fared well in Lyon, where he was not helped by the players.

Replaced by Fabio Grosso, Laurent Blanc will not have fared well in Olympique Lyonnais, where John Textor decided to fire him after only four days of Ligue 1, with one point on the clock. The second part of the 2023-2024 season had nevertheless been promising but the adventure finally ended more quickly than expected between the former PSG coach and the Rhone club. For many observers, the departure of Laurent Blanc was not a surprise as the former coach of the French team seemed without solutions, sometimes defeatist or even very detached from what was happening in his own club .

But for Maxence Caqueret, shooting at the ambulance was out of the question. During an interview with Canal +, the Olympique Lyonnais midfielder returned to the conditions of Laurent Blanc’s departure. And for him, it would be too easy to put the responsibility for OL’s poor start to the season on the shoulders of the 1998 world champion. On the contrary, Maxence Caqueret believes that the players also have a huge share of responsibility.

Caqueret defends White and charges the players

“What went wrong with former coach Laurent Blanc? For me, the problem is that the players are not doing enough. At this point, I think it’s up to us to have that connection to try to mobilize everyone and be 100% on the ground.” launched Maxence Caqueret, who does not hide and who recognizes that the players must do much more at OL to succeed in emerging from the sporting crisis in which the club is stuck. It is not the supporters who will say the opposite, they who have already made it known to the Lyon players after the defeat against PSG that they had to make much more effort to succeed in obtaining better results. Which is not happening for the moment, since Les Gones once again delivered an insipid performance against Brest on Saturday evening with another defeat on the line.
