Alexandre Lacazette denies that he got into a fight with Peter Bosz during the friendly match against Feyenoord (0-2 win). According to Foot Mercato the coach and the returned attacker did not agree on a tactical conversion in the dressing room, after which Lacazette replied to the Dutchman. The French striker will respond to the allegations via Twitter on Wednesday.

In the half-time of the 0-2 won exhibition game, it would have come to an altercation between Lacazette and Bosz. “For several weeks, some players do not understand all the instructions of the Dutch coach or his game plan,” he said Foot Mercato. “Bosz asked Lacazette to position himself in a place he did not adhere to.” Reportedly, the Frenchman received support from his teammates. Just before that, Lacazette had put a 0-1 lead with a nice shot from distance.

According to Lacazette, there was no disagreement. The attacker expressed himself on Twitter by denouncing the alleged lies with smileys with growing noses, in reference to Pinocchio, the famous wooden doll whose nose grows when he lies. “Waaaaaaw”, reads the accompanying text. Bosz can’t use any restlessness in the dressing room. It is very important for the coach to perform this season.

Last season, the former Ajax coach ended disappointingly in eighth place, which means that the club will not play in a European context this season. Lacazette’s return should bring color to Lyon’s cheeks again. Attracting Corentin Tolisso also provides hope among the supporters of the French club. In addition, Bosz secured Johan Lepenant and Nicolás Tagliafico, who was taken over from Ajax. For Lyon, the season starts on August 5 with a home game against Ajaccio.
