In the absence of Tino Kadewere, OL’s offensive organization could be shaken up. Islam Slimani should push Memphis Depay to one side.
The absence of Tino Kadewere should not be without consequences for the offensive organization of Olympique Lyonnais. Deprived of his Zimbabwean striker for at least three weeks, Rudi Garcia is considering replacing him with Islam Slimani in the Lyon type eleven. A decision that could have a direct impact on the positioning of Memphis Depay.
Used to playing in the center line, the Dutchman would thus be deported to the left to allow Slimani to advance to the top. Silent in front of goal since February 19, Depay is not against such a change, as reported by L’Équipe which quotes in its columns the entourage of the player: “He has a preference, that’s for sure, but he is captain and he is ready to do whatever it takes to help the team. “
Slimani alone at the forefront?
French newspaper L’Equipe revealed that Lyon coach Rudi Garcia had found the appropriate combination for the last matches in the French League.
The same newspaper confirmed that the Lyon coach had settled on new names and a new plan, which Soleimani would lead in the offensive line.
This Sunday against Angers, OL should therefore play in 4-2-3-1 with Slimani leading the way, supported by Depay, Paqueta and Toko Ekambi. The Lyonnais must win at home if they want to stay in the wake of LOSC and PSG who both won their match of the 32nd day, respectively against Metz (0-2) and Strasbourg (1-4 ).
