Juninho considers OL’s start to the season too « irregular »

Before the clash of the Olympics against Marseille on Sunday (8:45 p.m.), Juninho spoke about RMC this Wednesday in an interview for the show « Rothen ignites« . The sports director of Olympique Lyonnais spoke of the mixed start of his team, under the aegis of Peter Bosz:

“I think our start to the season is irregular. We manage to have significant offensive power, we have a team that is very comfortable with the ball, with a lot of movement, an important technical quality and players capable of making a difference. But at the same time, we have a team that has taken 21 goals and that lacks a bit of defensive balance. If we had that balance, I think we wouldn’t be in seventh place“, Admitted the Brazilian.

Despite good things seen in the game, the former glory of OL is clearly not satisfied: « Of course that’s not enough, we’re seventh. But five points from the second. You should not think that you are in a very complicated situation either, even if of course you have to find the balance as quickly as possible.« , He explained.

The ex-player of Vasco de Gama still maintains his support for his coach: « He likes to play offensive, aggressively, he also tries to change our mentality a little, especially when the ball is lost. He needs time, but when you’re seventh it’s normal to have a little pressure. There are the supporters, the press. The opponents also benefit because they feel that we are an irregular team. But I think Peter is the perfect person to change that. It only takes a little while and I hope it will succeed.« 

An irregularity which can also be explained by the behavior of certain players according to Juninho: « I don’t name names but that’s how I feel when I see certain games, there is a little more selfishness and maybe that prevents us from passing a certain level.», Railed the sports director of OL.
