Top 14 – Fabien Gengenbacher (Lyon): “Six months ago, we took sixty here”

“There is anger and frustration because I feel the boys have not been rewarded. But there is also a lot of pride because six months ago I was in this same room and we had taken sixty I had the same level of anger, but not at all pride I tell myself that we have progressed and that we are building a state of mind that will work. help us throughout the season, it’s true that we took two yellow cards, but if our scrape, four phases before this sequence, had been rewarded, we wouldn’t have taken these two cards. works, there is a process that is put in place, we prepare our matches, we involve referees, we debrief the matches with them, we also do individual interviews… Today, what is weighing us down is. discipline. And this has been the case in a few matches since the start of the season, it’s true. Despite everything, when we travel in this context, when we have to respond to the Usapist fervor, I prefer to have more energy. and aggressiveness than the opposite and miss out. It is certain that today, there are details to be resolved, and this discipline is one of them. We need to channel ourselves and work on our emotional management. For the rest, I think we managed well: we had scripted the fact of being behind at half-time, we thought we were twelve points behind, we ended up being ten points behind. We had our plan for the second half, and the qualities to upset our opponents. The proof is that we had the opportunity, on the last ball carried action, to obtain a penalty or to win the match. In any case, it’s a point taken in a stadium where it is always difficult to take it. We wanted to mark this match to make a tipping point before receiving Bayonne. Now it’s done, we’re going to prepare for Bayonne but we want to remain in control at home to continue to fight at the forefront as we have been doing since the start of the season.”
