Olympique Lyonnais’s young attacker, Enzo Molebe, stood out with the French U19 team by placing a double in a Euro U19 preparation match, which will take place in Wales next summer. The victory of the French team against Ireland (4-1) in Clairefontaine highlights Molebe’s potential, which is particularly expected by his coach Paulo Fonseca. The latter expressed his intention to give his chance to the young OL players, notably after the departure of Georges Mikautadze and the refusal to sell Molebe to FC Seville, thus demonstrating the club’s confidence in the 17-year-old attacker.

At the same time, the President of Olympique Lyonnais, Jean-Michel Aulas, plans to retain his term in the Fédération Française de Football (FFF) if he is elected to the Lyon City Hall. Despite his age (76 years), Aulas continues to show great motivation and ensures that his duties at the FFF, notably as vice-president and head of women’s football, would not be compromised by a possible election. He stressed that he would take all necessary precautions to avoid any conflict of interest and that he wished to continue to contribute to the development of French football.

Rachid Ghezzal, after a visit to AS Monaco, returned to Olympique Lyonnais with a mentor role for young players. The 33-year-old Algerian winger describes himself as a “framework and big brother” ready to share his experience and guide OL’s talents. He joins a group that seems to live in harmony and hopes to make a contribution to help young people progress. Paulo Fonseca’s team prepares to face Stade Rennais on day 4 of the championship, potentially offering a new match to follow for Rachid Ghezzal in Ligue 1.
