Lyon, Makoun: We have the means to win

Jean Makoun is back from serving his country Cameroon and determined to fire Ligue 1 leaders Lyon towards their eighth consecutive title – starting with Saturday’s game at struggling Le Mans.

Makoun said: “It’s the tightest championship battle for a long time. The players who have been there for a while have the knowhow and know how to stay strong for the sprint to the line. We have the means and we’re capable of winning the championship.”

Lyon have won eight of their 14 games on the road. Makoun, however is convinced that Le Mans will not roll over easily.
