mef Paulo Fonseca wanted to ‘poke’ Endrick… he has succeeded. “I am not satisfied with his performance. He was tired after the trip to Brazil but has a responsibility to do more. We need him. He needs to give more of himself and be more available,” said the coach of Olympique Lyonnais after the draw with Angers (0-0).

The public “pull the ears” so followed his substitution in victory against Lorient (2-0). However, there is 0-0 score at half time and the nine games without a win (five draws and four losses) that OL had gone through forced Fonseca to fix the situation. He did a triple change during the break, come on Tolisso, Mangala and Endrick
Arrival Real Madrid striker revolutionized the game. He just took it four minutes that’produce’ the goal to “opened the scoring”. He “pinches” a long ball away Tolisso into the right corner of the penalty area and returned a measured cross which was aimed at the network by Yaremchuk.
He received Afonso Moreira in space, got rid of Abdoulaye Faye and, one-on-one, connected with a shot that Yvon Mvogo parried as best he could… but it served Tolisso to head into the empty net.
Despite going more than two months without scoring in Ligue 1 since his hat-trick against Metz (2-5) on January 25, Jeffinho continues to feed the reputation of a “clutch player” – a player who responds to great moments – which he has earned in France. Since joining Lyon, he has scored six goals and six assists in 1,232 minutes. In other words, he is involved in a goal every 102 minutes
Fonseca’s “trick” had worked: “As a coach we have to find ways to get feedback from the players and that’s what I did.” he said.

“We spoke to get the reaction of a player who is important to us and needs to give more. I think he came out well and got the reaction we needed. It was positive,” said the coach of Olympique Lyonnais.
His teammate Dominik Greif, formerly from Mallorcachose to defend himself: “Endrick is a great player, talented, but people forget that he is only 19 years old. He is a child.. Maybe the expectations he created when he arrived were unfair, but he’s an incredible player. We all go through good times and bad.”

Orel Mangala also closed ranks with the Real Madrid loanee: “He’s had a great response. He’s shown that… we all know his qualities. Now it’s just a matter of maturity, knowing when to take risks and when to simply play. That’s all. He is a very good player.”
“He showed that he can light up the stadium at times. And when he can be determined like that, it can only be good for the team,” the OL said. Endrick is back. Clutch season is back.
