For three weeks, Laurent Blanc has put on several hats in Lyon. There is of course that of coach. But the President is also a firefighter, a site manager and a psychologist, he who recovered a team at the lowest mental level. Accompanied by his assistants, he tries to “put the heads back“as he had explained. And it works since his team has just had two successes in a row (the last against Lille). Blanc is unanimous in the locker room as Anthony Lopes explained after the meeting.
“His speech did a lot. The fact that he arrives totally fresh and puts everyone back on their feet, especially mentally, was a lot of work on his part, appreciates the OL goalkeeper. He knew how to find the right words. We would have liked to take 9 points out of 9 since his arrival, but 6 out of 9 is quite correct. (…) The fact that he came with a speech that restored everyone’s confidence was good”. Jeff Reine-Adelaide agrees. “The coach brings us a lot of confidence, calm. We were not having a good match and he knew how to find the right words at half-time.. The White effect is felt!
