The bright smile, the protruding muscles, it is a relaxed Jean Lucas (21 years old) who presented himself to the journalists at the Groupama Training Center this Thursday noon. The Brazilian midfielder, who arrived from Flamengo in the summer of 2019, took advantage of this meeting with the press to take stock of his adaptation to Olympique Lyonnais. “I am well integrated thanks to God, the Brazilians have helped me a lot, Claudio Caçapa and Juninho, but also the players Rafael, Marçal, Marcelo and Thiago Mendes. My French partners also help me, I also understand French much better “, he said.
Now that he begins to understand the language of Molière, the young Auriverde is feeling better and better and is ready to give everything for the Gones, even if he is far from being indisputable in the eyes of Rudi Garcia. “Nothing has ever been easy in my life, thank God I am here, I have always been patient. Today, I do not hold, but I work. It is in work that we show who we are. I know that my time will come, I know that I will give a lot of happiness to the Lyon supporters “, he launched, sure of his strength.
No way to leave OL
Patient, he does not intend to leave OL six months after his arrival. He repeated it. “As I said, my head is here in Lyon, the club that bought me, when I play, I will give my maximum, I have only been there for six months, I still have a lot to give. I don’t want to leave, I talked about it with my family, we’re fine here. I did not receive any offers personally, neither did my agent. I am focused on Lyon. (…) I want to leave a trace here, I want to win something. I want to mark people here, to be remembered here ”, he assured.
Motivated and ambitious, Carioca is fully at the service of its coach. “I’m happy, I didn’t know he said that. I’m glad he trusts me, I’m working to show what I can give to the group, I can help the group a lot. I am very happy “, he said, not worried about the emergence of his competitor Maxence Caqueret. “It’s great for Lyon to have two quality players. If I play, I will give everything. If he plays, he will give everything. He’s a great player. It’s a good addition, it’s good for Lyon “, he concluded. It is said !
