After a devastating defeat in Rennes, Olympique Lyonnais faced Angers, a crucial match for Paulo Fonseca to test new combinations. This new composition, including Domiik Greif as guard and Martin Satriano in attack, initially lacked offensive fluidity, despite the possession of the ball. The score finally came to the 65th minute, thanks to a goal by Tanner Tessmann, taking advantage of a Satriano head repelled by the opposing goaltender. This difficult victory allowed the staff to fine-tune the integration of the new players and temporarily regain the first place of the Ligue 1, even with the PSG. The team is now preparing for a double confrontation in the Europa League in Utrecht and against Lille.

Tanner Tessmann’s performance was particularly well received, winning the title of “Pepite of the Month” in Ligue 1, chosen by supporters in a vote on social networks. Assistant coach Jorge Maciel highlighted the difficulty of meeting with Angers, recognizing that the team had not been able to capitalize on the opportunities created in the second half. He stressed the need to improve the cleaning and circulation of the ball, while being satisfied with the integration of young players. Maciel also highlighted the role of Satriano, an attacker able to play in width and create spaces, stressing its importance in the cleaning and creation of dangerous situations.

Martin Satriano, who achieved his first Ligue 1 title since 2024, was pleased with his first win with OL. He stressed the difficulty of the game and expressed his joy in contributing to the victory. The former Lens player also spoke of his physical fitness, expressing satisfaction with his summer preparation despite a fatigue felt at the end of the game. The victory against Angers, although difficult, is an important step for OL, which continues to progress and win as a team to follow in Ligue 1.
