Women’s OL: a match to reach the final of the Champions League

On Sunday at 6 p.m., OL women entered the OL Park lawn with a clear mission: to keep their advantage from a goal won in London 2-1 last Saturday. The Fenottes have the opportunity to join FC Barcelona in the final of the Champions League, ahead of the 20,000 spectators expected in Décines.

For this return match, Joe Montemurro reserves a surprise: Ada Hegerberg is titularized at the tip of the attack. This brand of trust in the Norwegian striker is a first in several months. However, this does not mean that Melchie Dumornay will be on the bench. The Haitian retreats from a cran and takes the place of Dzsenifer Marozsan in the intergame alongside Lindsey Heaps and Damaris Egurrola.

The big announcement of this semifinal return is the presence of Wendie Renard in central defence, who will thus play his 500th game under the Lyon colors. The composition of the OL : Endler - Carpenter, Gilles, Renard (cap), Bacha - Heaps, Damaris, Dumornay - Diani, Hegerberg, Chawinga.

The instability of coaches at Eagle Football

Since John Textor took part in Eagle Football in August 2021, the coaching position has become almost a “running-gag” in the clubs present. Since then, Botafogo, OL and Molenbeek have experienced a rapid consumption of coaches.

The latest example is the last two clubs with a surprise transfer: the appointment of Gueïda Fofana as head of the RWDM for the dam games in order to climb into the Jupiler League. This surprise arrival coincides with the departure of Yannick Ferrera, who was no less surprised.

The coach was mentally at the bottom of the hole, according to the XRWDM Fidels account, which follows the club of the Brussels suburbs. As with Pierre Sage and others before him, Ferrera made the cost of his poor results to see himself showing the door.

The real surprise lies in seeing Fofana promoted while all fans thought it would be Igor De Camargo who would ensure the transition at least until the end of the season. This choice was perplexed in Belgium, as the former Red Devil knew more about the Belgian championship than Fofana.

Between Fofana and Caçapa’s former deputy, Irles, and Ferrera, it is above all a “common aid” even though Molenbeek’s fate is already compromised after the 2-0 game lost against KSC Lokeren-Temse. Will there be an RWDM rewind at home this Sunday (7:15 p.m.)? Pessimism takes over, but finally has nothing surprising seen the instability within the club for two years.

The real question will be how long the former coach of the Lyon reserve will be passing, who made a cross on a Premier League International Cup final to help the Belgian club. She could be one game in case of elimination this Sunday. This would mean that John Textor has used 28 coaches (including temporary coaches) for four years at Eagle Football.
