Olympique Lyonnais (OL) is preparing for a new season with intensive preparation. Under Paulo Fonseca’s leadership, the team made three undefeated pre-season games, with victories against Villefranche and Hamburg, and a draw against RWDM Brussels. These meetings assessed the physical and tactical intensity of the players, with 60 minute periods and tactical tests such as the 3-5-2. The goal is to prepare at best for the recovery of the championship on August 16, with important upcoming games against Majoarque and Bayern Munich.

The club is also in the negotiation phase concerning the future of some players. Paul Akouokoua, middle of Ivorian terrain, could leave the club to join Real Zaragoza in Spain, a track that seems to materialize with a possible loan option. This situation comes as OL invested more than 3.5 million euros in the player. The team’s preparation focuses on the depth of the bench and the rotation of the players, with careful observation of the playing times granted by the coach.

OL’s history is rich in titles, including the victory of the Champions’ Trophy in 2012, a milestone for the club. Since then, the team has had sporadic successes, with second place and national cup finals, but has not won a trophy since. The current team, together with players like Lacazette, is looking to reconnect with victory and offer a successful season to fans. Current preparation and upcoming games are crucial to assess the team’s potential and confirm Paulo Fonseca’s tactical choices.
