This is one of the shocks particularly scrutinized at the announcement of the schedule for the start of the season. OL will receive ASSE this Sunday and from Les Gones, we obviously know how important this match is. Memphis Depay in particular who, in an interview with Telefoot, explains the special relationship he quickly forged with the derby.
“When I arrived at the club, the first thing I was told: ‘This is the game you have to win! “. Of course I want to win every game but this one is very special. It is very special for the people and for the city. When you play for OL it’s in your DNA, ”warned the Lyon striker.
Depay regrets the absence of an audience
Marked by a defeat in the first derby in which he participated, Memphis Depay bares his teeth as the upcoming match approaches. With the desire to dominate the great rival. “Very quickly when I arrived we played against Saint-Etienne. We lost and the fans were very unhappy. I learned very quickly that you have to win this game to make the fans happy, not just for them but also for us. He’s our rival and we want to beat them. “
The only downside for this meeting, the absence of an audience at Groupama Stadium, which will necessarily remove spice from this meeting. “There will be no fans, we will have an empty stadium and it’s a disappointment. Especially in these matches when the stadium is full, it’s magnificent, ”regrets the Lyon striker.
