Jorge Maciel’s Passionate Tribute to Afonso Moreira: A Celebration of Excellence and Influence

This Sunday, Lyon faced a last-minute defeat against PSG, a frustrating outcome for the team. Despite numerous absences, they displayed a strong performance and nearly secured a win at the end. While the result was disappointing, there were several positive takeaways for Lyon, particularly from Afonso Moreira. The young Portuguese player stepped up as a starter following Malick Fofana’s injury and delivered an impressive performance.

Moreira scored again this Sunday, shining on the field and earning praise from assistant coach Jorge Maciel. He stated, “Moreira knows how to utilize his strengths. He plays with the talent he has, using his runs and positioning. It’s important to maintain this momentum, whether starting or coming off the bench. The Moreira we see as a starter is the same as when he was a substitute a month ago. He needs to stay within his capabilities and make better decisions. We are very pleased with him.”
