Paulo Fonseca Explains Decisions Ahead of Nice Match
As the 22nd matchday concludes in Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is set to face OGC Nice. This match is crucial for Lyon as they aim for their 13th consecutive victory across all competitions.
Fonseca’s Tactical Approach for the Nice Match
Head coach Paulo Fonseca is adapting his strategy due to the absence of key players Endrick and Afonso Moreira. He has chosen a 3-5-2 formation, featuring Maitland-Niles and Abner on the wings, while welcoming back Corentin Tolisso to the starting lineup.
Key Players and Decisions
- Corentin Tolisso: A significant addition to the team’s dynamics.
- Endrick and Afonso Moreira: Missing due to injury.
- Maitland-Niles and Abner: Playing crucial roles on the flanks.
In an interview with Ligue 1+, Fonseca spoke candidly about his choices: “Given the absence of Moreira and Endrick, the best solution was to integrate Abner and Ainsley. Tolisso’s return will greatly benefit us. This is the right timing for him to play. We arrive with ambition at home and intend to deliver a strong performance.”
Upcoming Players
Furthermore, Yaremchuk has commenced training this week. Fonseca stated that while he will require time to adjust, he anticipates providing Yaremchuk with playing time during the match.
The upcoming clash promises to be a challenging yet exciting game for both teams as Lyon seeks to extend their winning streak.
