In the other semi-final of the Coupe de la Ligue, Lyon faces Troyes tonight, aiming to join PSG in the competition’s final. Lyon’s recent form suffered a setback with a 2-0 defeat against Rennes, ending their eleven-match unbeaten streak across all competitions and their three-game winning streak in the league.
Arnold Mvuemba, who has previously reached the semi-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue twice with Lorient, is determined to make it to the final this time with Lyon. “I hope that the third time will be the charm,” he expressed, highlighting his desire to reach the Stade de France. Despite facing challenges in earning regular playing time under Remi Garde, Mvuemba remains optimistic about seizing his opportunity against Troyes.
Reflecting on his experiences, Mvuemba acknowledged the difficulties but remained resilient. “I went through a tough period, but I didn’t give up. Doubt can lead to losing oneself,” he said. Despite his desire for more playing time, Mvuemba respects the coach’s decisions and remains committed to contributing whenever called upon.
