At a recent press conference, Olympique Lyonnais coach Paulo Fonseca addressed the situation of Cameroonian goalkeeper André Oanana, a crucial element in Lyon’s ambition to win a European title. Attention is particularly focused on Thursday night’s meeting, the quarter-final return of the Europa League, which will oppose Olympique Lyonnais to Manchester United on the Mancunian lawn. The all-round match, which had resulted in a parity score (2-2), had highlighted significant mistakes on the part of the opposing goaltender, André Oanana, contributing to the Lyon goals.

Facing this situation, Red Devils coach Ruben Amorima confirmed the intention to titularize Cameroonian goaltender for the return game. When asked about the subject, Paulo Fonseca chose to highlight the undeniable qualities of André Oanana, insisting that he is a very high-level guardian. He said that the Lyon team is focusing its efforts on implementing its strategy, both offensively and defensively, and that the choice of players is not dictated by the performance of a single individual.

In concluding his press conference, Paulo Fonseca expressed his distrust of a potential obsession about the difficulties faced by the former guardian of Ajax Amsterdam. He pointed out that he expects a fully mobilized Manchester United team and his best players, claiming that the match represents a decisive moment for the English club. He concluded by reaffirming the motivation of the Lyon team and its commitment to focus on its own goals.
