In preparation for their Ligue 1 clash against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday, Reims coach Olivier Guégan and midfielder Prince Oniangué held a press conference to discuss their approach to the game.
Guégan acknowledged the challenge that Lyon, currently the league leaders, represent. He emphasized that to stand a chance, Reims would need to significantly raise their level of play, stating that they would need to do more than just take things up “one notch” in order to compete against a team he considers to be the best in Ligue 1 at the moment. Guégan praised Lyon’s attacking prowess, noting they have the best offense in the league and are full of very good players.
On the other hand, Prince Oniangué, a former OL player, expressed his respect for his ex-coach Hubert Fournier, wishing him the best, but with a bit of a twist: “It would be good for Hubert if OL won the title, but they should win their matches after us!” This playful remark adds an interesting personal dynamic to the game, as Oniangué clearly values his former coach’s success, just not at Reims’ expense this weekend.
The match is set to be a significant one for Reims, who are battling for survival, as they face a Lyon side with high ambitions and a strong squad.
