Following the defeat of AJ Auxerre against Olympique Lyonnais (1-3) on the 29th day of Ligue 1, Christophe Pélissier, team coach, expressed his analysis of the match. The event, which ended on Sunday evening, saw the Auxerrois bow to a Lyon formation which, despite a busy period between two Europa League meetings, was able to impose its domination. This defeat marks a break with the usual performances of AJ Auxerre, traditionally difficult to beat on his field, Abbé Deschamps.
At DAZN’s microphone, Mr.Pélissier clearly acknowledged the superiority displayed by Olympique Lyonnais. He highlighted a lack of resources among his family during the second period, a fragility that allowed the Lyons to take control of the pace of the game. The coach highlighted the technical quality and efficiency of Lyon players in the middle of the field, able to make accelerations and create spaces that unbalanced the Auxerroise defence.
In concluding his analysis, Christophe Pélissier stated that he had observed a very high level Lyon, recognizing the quality and mastery displayed by the opposing team. This defeat, while regrettable, allows AJ Auxerre to learn lessons and reconsider its strategies for future encounters.
