OL Reserve: Qualifying for the Premier League International Cup Final before a shock against Limonest
Olympique Lyonnais (OL)’s reserve is preparing calmly for its match against Limonest this Saturday 6pm, after winning a qualifying for the Premier League International Cup final last Tuesday. However, this decision sparked internal discussions and at the Courtois Fillot stadium, Pierre Chavrondier will lead the team for the last three games of the season in National 3.
Currently in third place with 40 points, Mathys De Carvalho’s team-mates can still hope for a climb in N2. However, Limonest is in the lead with seven points ahead and a mathematically nothing is played with Lyon-La Ducher who follows closely with 41 points.
This Saturday, OL wants above all to push back the sacre of the neighbour of western Lyon before starting to believe in something bigger. However, according to some indiscretions, the goal is not the climb and a place on the podium will validate the efforts made since the beginning of the season.
For this important match followed by another against “La Duch” in a week, Pierre Chavrondier will be able to count on Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez and Romain Perret, who shone in the match against Fulham in the middle of the week.
During the game going to the Emirates Stadium, OL fans had tried to encourage their team against 40,000 English spectators. Their support allowed Joe Montemurro’s players to win 2-1 against Arsenal in the Champions League semifinal.
This Sunday, Lyons will be more numerous at the OL Park even if the influx will be far from London. The club hopes to reach the 20,000 seat mark thanks to the announcement of Feder’s DJ Set after-game and for an hour. Among this influx, Arsenal will be able to count on a few fans present in the stadium spans at the kick-off on Sunday at 6 p.m. According to information provided by the Lyon club, 547 London fans will cross the Channel to watch this half return and why not the exploit of a Champions League final for Arsenal."
