Respectively seventh and eighth in Ligue 1, Lyonnais and Monegasques meet again on Saturday February 5 (9 p.m.) on behalf of the 23rd day of Ligue 1. The two teams had a complicated start to the season, before making significant changes. during winter.
On the rock, exit Niko Kovac, the Croatian coach who had allowed ASM to regain the European Cup. The former Bayern player paid the price for an unconvincing start to the season both in results and in the game, and saw a Belgian take his place. Since taking office, Philippe Clement has signed two victories for a draw and a defeat. He especially advocated the return of attacking football, with ten goals scored in four games.
In Lyon, the coach finally stayed, and it was the players who changed. If he was one of the best elements of Lyon, Bruno Guimaraes joined Newcastle where a delicious salary increase awaited him, accompanied by a precious check for 50 million euros for the club of Jean-Michel Aulas. A tidy sum which notably allowed the arrival of two new players: the promising Romain Faivre and the returning Tanguy Ndombele.
