Gift Orban Addresses Reports of Attitude Issues at Lyon Dressing Room

Gift Orban, the young Nigerian forward who recently made a big-money move from Gent to Olympique Lyonnais, has responded to reports regarding his alleged attitude issues within the Lyon dressing room.

The concerns were initially raised by French journalist Molina, who claimed that Orban was showing signs of anger during training sessions and that these issues had been present in his previous clubs as well.

However, Lyon captain Alexandre Lacazette came to Orban’s defense, suggesting that the new signing’s behavior may have been misunderstood due to his sense of humor.

In a recent interview, Orban opened up about his personality, stating that he is direct and honest in his interactions with others. He emphasized that while some may find him unconventional from afar, those who get to know him up close appreciate his easy-going and respectful nature.

Orban shared insights into his efforts to adapt his strong personality, acknowledging the need to control his energy and emotions in a professional setting. He highlighted the importance of managing oneself and adjusting to new environments, drawing from his own life experiences.

One interesting anecdote from Orban revolved around music preferences in the Lyon dressing room. As a fan of Nigerian artist Burna Boy, he mentioned his initial discomfort with the French music played by teammates, including the use of slang like ‘wesh.’ Despite his personal preferences, Orban expressed a willingness to compromise for the sake of team unity and harmony.
