PRESS KIT Week 24 Date & Time Sunday, February 08, 2015-21:00 Stadium Stade Municipal de Gerland 02/08/2015 - Ligue de Football Professionnel - 2014/2015 - Ligue1.com
PREVIEW : OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN Feature Preview Thiago Silva believes Paris Saint-Germain's meeting with Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday will be "a special game" between two of Ligue 1's most impressive performers this season. The pair came into Week 24 with OL top of the table and Paris just two points behind in third place, the duo sandwiching Olympique de Marseille at the business end of the French top flight. They go head-to-head at the Stade Municipal de Gerland on Sunday evening in a mouthwatering contest, but Silva does not believe the destiny of the title will be decided come the final whistle in Lyon. "It's a special game, because we are close to Lyon in the league, and we both need to win," explained the Paris captain to This is Paris. "It should be a great game, because it often is when two teams play each other to win. The supporters should enjoy it. We have a lot of respect for this team, who are having a great season. I think their new coach has changed something in the team, particularly in terms of motivation. It'll be a special game, important, but not decisive." Following their Coupe de la Ligue semi-final victory over LOSC Lille on Wednesday, Paris remain in contention in all three domestic competitions as well as the Champions League. OL, by contrast, only have to focus on Ligue 1 now, and that gives them an advantage and makes them serious title challengers, according to Silva. "Lyon only have the league to play for, and when you play just one game a week, you have the time to prepare yourself well, especially physically," the Brazil international, who scored in Paris 4-0 defeat of OL in the capital last season. "As for us, we play games every three days with a lot of big matches. That takes a lot of energy, both physically and mentally. But we are fortunate enough to have a quality squad. And when you have a dream in mind it is always easy to shut out all of that and work even more to achieve it." Having dropped out of the Europa League before the group stage, and seen their Coupe de la Ligue and Coupe de France challenges halted, OL can afford to be single-minded. They have proven utterly ruthless in recent weeks, winning seven successive games before last weekend's goalless draw at AS Monaco that kept them two points clear of OM and Paris. The point at the Stade Louis II may have brought to an end their breathtaking series of wins, but a draw against Leonardo Jardim's in-form side was not a bad result, particularly given the injury-enforced absence of Alexandre Lacazette. "Everyone puts in a little more, as you could see," said OL boss Hubert Fournier, who will be without Ligue 1's leading scorer for another two weeks. "Up against one of the best teams in the league and the best defence in Europe, we even managed to create some good chances that we couldn't put away. I'm not certain that Alex, if he had been there, would have converted them. "I liked the way my team responded. You can see we deserve to be where we are and that the club's results are not only due to Alexandre Lacazette's talent, even if we were aware of being fortunate enough to have a player in full flow right now." 02/08/2015 Ligue de Football Professionnel - 2014/2015 - Ligue1.com 2
