Deflandre unhappy with Lyon role
BELGIAN Eric Deflandre has admitted his disappointed at failing to get back into Lyon's team following the World Cup.
The right back has admitted to being upset about not being selected by Paul Le Guen.
"At first, I could understand the fact I didn't play, as I missed the beginning of the pre-season, due to my participation to World Cup," said Deflandre.
"But today I feel perfectly fit, so I can't understand to not have been selected with the group that will play at Sochaux.
"To tell you the truth, I even expected to be first team member, so I must admit I am very disappointed and very bitter.
"Today, I ask me lot of questions about why I am kept in the background, as I have never had any bad critics. Perhaps there something else? It is out of question to say I will play all the season in reserve team."
Deflandre had been linked with a switch to Rennes in an exchange deal with Anthony Reveillere, but he dismissed this.
"One thing is certain, as I still have two years on my contract at Lyon, I am absolutely not going to Rennes. That's why I hope to have a serious meeting with the coach next week."
