The Lyon manager takes stock after the defeat of a “reaction” Lou at Oyonnax this Saturday, during the 7th day.
Fabien Gengenbacher (manager of Lyon, after the 38-20 defeat at Oyonnax ) : «Tonight, we showed a side of a reaction team. There is nothing to remember from this first half, but we will work on the second half. A second period during which we showed that we have qualities. That we can destabilize any defense from the moment we are moving forward, when we are close to the opposing ball carriers. But we also have to analyze why we didn’t come out of the locker room in the first half.
Why we were not able to respond to what Oyonnax proposed to us, particularly on aerial balloons. Why we failed in the engagement and particularly in the duels. This tendency to be reactionary has followed us since the start of the season, but this defeat puts pressure on us before hosting Bayonne next week».
