Peter Bosz optimistic despite setback in Monaco
At the microphone of First video after the defeat conceded in Monaco (2-1), Olympique Lyonnais coach Peter Bosz confirmed the weakness of their team on set pieces, already pointed out by Alexandre Lacazette after the final whistle: “I saw a lot of good things except for the outcome of the game. We should have defended better from set pieces, they are good at that. It’s hard but we lost because of it. We have to keep working on that, we don’t have a lot of tall players so unfortunately it can happen. The players didn’t give up even after the second goal. We scored only once unfortunately but the possibilities were there.
Despite a second setback in the league after Lorient in the middle of the week, the Dutch technician wants to remain optimistic about the copy made by his players and highlights the positive of their performance: “We lost tonight but we played well, we don’t deserve to lose. Had chances, I saw a team that fights, that is not afraid. We didn’t give up and normally we have to draw at least. Today I saw a team that played with confidence, with a good mentality. The team played the way I want them to play. When you play like that you have to win. Normally this defeat will give us strength, we were better than a team like Monaco so that should give us confidence for the future. The players gave their all, even at the end I saw Karl Toko Ekambi sprinting in defense and it is exactly this state of mind that I want to see.
