Paulo Fonseca (Lille coach): “A great frustration”

“How did you experience this return to Lyon?
We did a lot of good things in the game but we didn’t manage the last minutes well. It’s the inexperience of the team. It’s not the first time it’s happened but we have to improve.

Is this a big disappointment?
It’s a great frustration but they too have shown a good ability to react. We didn’t win but I think we showed the team’s ability and I’m confident for the future.

What did you think of Jonathan David?
It’s good to score three goals for a striker but we didn’t win. The players were sorry but I didn’t say anything to them today in the locker room. Sometimes it’s better not to say anything. Because it was very hard after the match but I will talk to them during the next training. We have to manage the game better, not take risks at some point. I think after 80 minutes we continued to play the same game. We have to make progress on it. It’s hard when we have the ability to score three goals against Paris (3-4) today but we didn’t win.

Laurent Blanc spoke of an excellent evening and you? For the fans, it was a great game. We want, supporters, players, coaches, this kind of match. But I come away with great frustration because we had to win the match. The video assistance was of great importance… and I accept the referee’s decision. »
