The President of Lyon took stock on Sunday evening, in the mixed zone, after the defeat of his team in Paris (4-2).
At the Parc des Princes
Jean-Michel Aulas takes out the claws. And distribute some caresses too. After the defeat of “his” OL in Paris (4-2), Sunday, at the end of the 24th day of Ligue 1, the president of Gones has swept various subjects before the media, “injustices” in the programming of matches in Coupe de France, with unequal arbitration of which Lyon is, he says, victim, passing by a “very strong” PSG which it “hopes” to see going to the end in the Champions League.

PSG-OL : “It’s a bit of a weird match. I will not do the exegesis of the match, I am replacing “Juni” who, unfortunately, is blocked in Brazil for personal reasons, but I will give you my analysis of a beginner in football (smile). The circumstances of the match did not help us. We did 20 very good first minutes, and afterwards, Angel Di Maria helped to throw the disorder. We wanted to go get this PSG very high and that put us in difficulty. And, despite the gag goal that put us in an even more difficult situation, being led 3-0, the second half was another bill. We haven’t waited for PSG anymore. We threw ourselves less. And we built a number of opportunities, including the third with Moussa Dembélé, which could have brought us to equalization. But what is very positive is the construction of these goals which allows to exist, without however really endangering a PSG which is very strong. ”
“I hope it will be good for PSG in the Champions League”
Paris : “What should have been done? Already, that the PSG is less strong. Because he is really very strong. I hope it will be good for PSG in the Champions League because the team is really very complete. “
Orange yellow at Presnel Kimpembe at the end of the first period : “And I will also regret the action of the first period. Looks like I’m coming to criticize the referee. No. I’m just trying to have an objective analysis. Marçal is expelled to Nice, not because he is the last defender but because he annihilates a scoring opportunity much less obvious than this one. There, it’s yellow … Well, as I never arbitrated, I will not allow myself to make a judgment on the action itself. But I can compare the two actions, which are exactly the same. In one case, it’s red, in the other, it’s yellow … If PSG had played ten, obviously, that would have helped us to resist better. “
Injuries, recruits and youth : “I have heard a lot that there were three or four absent at PSG. We were missing seven holders (smile). And as these are serious injuries, which deprive us of these players for some time and until the end of the season, we would have to have a little less injury, breakage (to play against Paris). And then it’s difficult. We are trying to recruit. We saw Karl Toko Ekambi who made a very good match when he returned. We also make sure that young people play. Having a 16 year old kid (Rayan Cherki) play against PSG is also a risk-taking. But it is for the consistency of the project. We are trying to have a training center that is among the best in Europe, with the two major Spanish clubs. And for that, you have to take the risk, when you come out of very good players, to make them play matches like that because they progress and they show their qualities. We try to be a human club that makes young people play. And who’s backing up against this avalanche of wounded. ”
“End (the season) in cannonball”
The podium moving away : “Today, we played Paris, which we will replay in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue. We learned a lot in preparation for this final. The championship is not over, there are still a number of matches to play. It is true that the objective of the podium has moved away. But only by one point since Rennes (3rd) made a draw against Brest (0-0). You have to go round and, as we have done almost every year for 20 years, end in cannonball to get closer. Indeed, if we get closer to third place (the Ligue 1 ranking here), we will be satisfied because we know that, moreover, we will do something against our friends of Juventus, who lost yesterday (Saturday in Verona, 2-1), and also in the quarterfinals (of the Coupe de France). ”

The programming of the Coupe de France : “There too, there are a number of things that bother us. Lyon is the only team that will replay three days later, when we cannot return this evening because of (storm Ciara). We’re going back to Lyon on Monday noon and we’re playing Wednesday night against Marseille. And Paris will play on Thursday (in fact, PSG will face Dijon on Wednesday too, at 6.30 p.m., editor’s note). Marseille played (Saturday). There are things that are incomprehensible, unfair. But we are back, I try to be a little less abrupt than in the past in my remarks, while pointing out that if the media play their game, which is to detect anomalies, we will have supporters much more next to us, because there are really unfair things going on in the management of this football in France. “
Bruno Guimaraes, one of the Lyon mercato recruits : “He arrives at night. We will get it back. We are a bit annoyed because Juninho, who had to return to Brazil for personal reasons, is not there. We will try to return to welcome him, but as I said, we have small problems to return … But he will be there tomorrow morning (this Monday), with us, and we will make sure that he as quickly as possible. “
