Scorer of Olympique Lyonnais (2-2, 4-2 tab) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Bourgoin-Jallieu perfectly negotiated the penalty shootout. The National 3 club had carefully prepared this exercise.
Without extra time, amateur clubs know, it is enough to hang on to an opponent for 90 minutes to take them to penalties and increase their chances of creating the feat. We won't go so far as to say that Bourgoin-Jallieu aimed for a draw. In any case, the National 3 team managed to take out Olympique Lyonnais in this session. After the match, goalkeeper Ronan Jay, who systematically dove on the right side, admitted that he had received valuable information on the Rhone shooters. A work orchestrated by goalkeeper coach Teo Decker.
« So I was behind it, because I was behind the cage with him.confided the member of Bourgoin’s staff to So Foot. Every time there was a player who started to advance, I reminded him where he should dive. Finally, he made 100% (of dives on the right side) and 50% of saves. We did the work we needed to do so that it at least dipped on the right side. But hey, we had no certainty either, because we are never safe from anything in football. They could very well have changed, all shooting in the center, but in any case, according to what we had established, that is what happened. »
-Pierre Sage surprised Bourgoin
« For each player on the squad, we had a panel of recent penalties and statistics on all career penalties, as well as the areas in which they were taken. Depending on what we had seen, we knew more or less which way they were going. This is what was noted. For each player, we said to ourselves: him, he shoots there, he shoots there, he shoots there… And it workedrejoiced Teo Decker, well informed about Alexandre Lacazette who missed his attempt. He has 60% shooting on the open side and 40% on the closed side. » The technician still admitted that Bourgoin had prepared to face OL number 2 goalkeeper Rémy Descamps. But the tenure of Lucas Perri did not prevent amateurs from passing.
