OL faced Getafe in a friendly match that proved more competitive than expected. From the first few minutes, the Spanish team showed physical intensity and aggressiveness that surprised the Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca. Despite a final score of 2-1 in favour of OL, the Portuguese coach was satisfied with the match’s progress, highlighting the absence of injuries and the ability of his team to dominate despite the compact defence. However, he identified the need to improve the management of the last minutes of the game to avoid the risks of conceding a goal.

The recent arrival of Tyler Morton, recruited for ten million euros, was particularly noteworthy. He quickly obtained his first tenure, accelerated by the injury of Corentin Tolisso. Morton was distinguished by his pass qualities and his game intelligence, showing himself comfortable in a defensive role. His association with Georges Mikautadze has already borne fruit, as evidenced by a decisive pass in the second half that led to the second Lyon penalty.

Observers, like Matthew Louis-Jean, praised Morton’s rapid adaptation and potential. Despite a short preparation time, he demonstrated envy and character, already integrating into his new environment despite the language barrier. This first release is an encouraging sign for OL, which is now preparing for a more serious competition with the trip to Lens. The team seems to have found a promising balance and cohesion for the coming season.
