Lyon Football

At the Parc des Princes, OL will have a tough task but Paulo Fonseca is confident before the clash.

“I am confident with the players we have and with the strategy we have prepared for this match,” declared the Lyon coach before facing PSG.

Before revealing some points of the plan to counter Luis Enrique’s men. “The first objective will be to defend well against a team with a lot of mobility. We have to be solid to then create attacking opportunities. We have worked a lot on the defensive aspect,” analyzed Paulo Fonseca.

For Clinton Mata, “the most important thing will be to stay focused on ourselves”: “The victory against Lorient gave us confidence. In football, anything is possible: we will approach this match by putting all the odds on our side and trying to earn points,” the player emphasized, aware that his team will not have possession.

To achieve this, “we will need to make as few mistakes as possible,” continued the Angolan international: “Because against this type of team, you pay for it dearly,” he noted.

And Clinton Mata remembers the first leg match: “We put on a very strong performance, we looked Paris in the eyes. We will try to reproduce that in the return match, being more efficient.”

The defender assures that there is no revenge to be taken. “But we hope that everything will be up to standard in the return match, with a beautiful spectacle.”
