Lyon begins a crucial months at the Stade de France

Lyon begins a pivotal time for his season by facing Lille Saturday at the Stade de France for the first meeting of Ligue 1 decentralized in this forum.

In seven matches in the coming month, the six times champion France in découdra with all the competitions yet inscribed on its roadmap - the championship, the Champions League and the French Cup. With the program of matches to leave or double.

Before Tuesday defy Manchester at Old Trafford in the return match eighths finals of the Champions League (1-1, one way) and then Bordeaux, his ambitious heir apparent in Ligue 1 at Gerland, OL offered an begins gala at the Stade de France.

"This will put us in the mood immediately, it is an undeniable advantage," Sidney Govou saliva. "It can help us to travel to England"

Faced with more than 70,000 people, Lille and Lyon will celebrate 10 years of the walls of Saint-Denis.

"This will be a good test," said midfielder Mathieu Bodmer. "For Lille, eleven 'dogs' on the ground, which did nothing to release the image of the coach, a winner enthusiast. They have great values of solidarity, block. We will have to be at maximum face to them. It's a great rehearsal before going to defy Manchester, and then Bordeaux. "

A week with three major appointments and decisive for the remainder of the season is really not acceptable for Lyonnais.

"We are well," notes Sidney Govou.

"It's exhilarating and exciting, this kind of challenge matches. It is for them that we bossons strong throughout the year. We look forward to playing them."

NEUTRAL GROUND

In preparation for this decisive period and before the chains to two matches per week, the staff Lyon concocted a working week charged but varied.

The time is the extreme concentration for a group who, although he knows how to manage competitions, must also manage concatenations of matches.

"In the approach, there was perhaps not necessarily the same intensity," says Sidney Govou.

"But in the spirit of conquering and 'block-team' display is the same thing that must be faced with Lille and Manchester before, and then Bordeaux."

Lyon must reproduce the match reference in the game but not necessarily in the score (1-1), directed facing Manchester ten days ago.

Fragile out with any victory out of its bases since Nov. 24 in Rennes (0-2), Lyon has set the goal of getting back to our fundamentals and victory for reassurance.

With perhaps an advantage to play on the ground "neutral", the Stade de France.

"It's an advantage for us because this is not the same context as the Stadium in Lille," reports Mathieu Bodmer.

"And at the Stade de France, there will be a lot more atmosphere and they will not have the same benchmarks. It is better for us, it's undeniable."

For this meeting, Alain Perrin should have at its disposal any group, except Cleber Anderson and Patrick Müller, both injured knee for a long time.

Package deal with Metz because of coup received knee, Fabio Grosso should return in the group, just like Cesar Delgado and Cris.

This followed the week's training normally, but admitted this week to be "fair and not yet ready" to play this match and next faces Manchester.
