“Until then, the large number of absent players gave me a headache but there, it is worse because we clearly did not put enough commitment, especially in the first period. In short, the best won”. François Ratier, the manager of Stade Bordeaux, was bitter after the first defeat of his team against Lyon (8-17) this Sunday. The technician has been suffering from the absence of his French internationals for a few weeks but also from his Scottishness and his Canadian parties in selection … He had been forced to draw from the hopes who had dominated their Lyon equivalents in Sainte-Germaine last Sunday. A meeting that had enabled Annaelle Deshayes to make her first come to twenty minutes since her injury this summer. But it must be believed that the return of the Bordeaux pilière was not enough, especially since Maka Baleinadogo who played in the place of Julie Annery, injured in turn (48th).
Too many absent
The visit of the Lyon wolves, who were also deprived of some key players (Okemba, Jacquet, Drouin), did not appear under the best auspices. From the start, the lionesses received a test of Maelle Jouve (0-5, 6th). “We had a rotating wind but with the rain, the ball escaped us once in two,” explained Adèle Besson. The Bordeauxes dominated territorially but had the wrong to multiply playing times for their back lines that were white. A situation that persisted after the break (3-5) where the Lou was increasingly an opportunistic in the face of Elodie Fernandez (3-12, 3-12 53rd), then drive the nail after a breakaway initiated by its rear Labeyrie (3-17, 68th).
The test of Khoudedia Cissokho (8-17, 77th) following one of the too rare balls worn consoled the lionesses: “We were taken by time, but as we work a lot these phases of play, everything is not negative”, concluded the young third line.
