At the end of the pitiful elimination of OL in the French Cup against lovers of Bourgoin-Jallieu (2-2, 4-2 Tab), Pierre Sage held a very hard speech towards his players.
OL may be ashamed. Opposed to Bourgoin-Jallieu, resident of National 3, this Wednesday in 16e From the final of the French Cup, the Gones are eliminated at the end of the penalty shootout (2-2, 4-2 TAB). Before that, the Lyonnais were jostled by the Berjallians, who did not steal their qualification.
After the meeting, Pierre Sage did not mince his words when qualifying the unworthy performance of his players. “” Today, in our first half, we have denied too many principles. We did not show pride or honor. Bourgoin deserves his qualification in view of the match we produced “Recognized the Rhone coach at a press conference.
“We will have to assume shame now in the face of our loved ones”
“I don’t want anyone in particular and everyone at the same time, he continued. We will now have to assume shame in the face of our loved ones, our families, the people who love the club and those who came to the stadium, our leaders and the whole world. It is a duty to beat a team that plays four levels below and today, we did not do the job. »»
And Pierre Sage to conclude: “ When you leave the initiative and the intensity, even the ball to an opponent who plays 4 levels below, that means that we are not at the level and that we do not measure the consequences that a defeat can have. For a club like ours, it’s almost a tragedy. It would be normal to win and it is totally illogical to lose but we did not do the right. Now we will have to assume it. When you lose in front of an L1 opponent, I can be moderate and understand. There, we hear our opponents sing while we are at a press conference, it is the first element of shame. »»
