Paulo Fonsica believes Lyon believes the “scarce balanced balance” after taking the lead 4-2 against Manchester United and pointed to their celebrations as a reason why they lost 5-4 to 5-4 in the second round of the Europa League in the second round of the Europa League.
After the 2-0 draw to equalize the game 2-2 at night and 4-4 on the total, Lyon is on the verge of a semi-finals after the Ryan Cherky strike and a penalty by Alexander Lacazett 4-2 at night.
They took control of the draw despite Correntin Tolisso playing in the 89th minute of normal time.
However, after Lacazette’s slep led to the nausea stirring up, Lyon couldn’t see the game. Bruno Fernandes’ penalty kicked United Hope before sending Kobe Maino Old Trafford into great players with great equalizer.
But the tall drama was in the 121st minute when Harry Maguire, who played as a temporary striker, went home to complete a surprising return and send Lyon to a total of 7-6
“It’s a mixture of feelings on my head. So far, it’s difficult to understand what happened,” a confused Funica told a news conference after the game.
“I think, at first, we did great things. We took the lead 4-2 with one player less than the pitch, but we celebrated 4-2 many times when the game wasn’t over.
“I think we didn’t have an emotional balance at this moment. It’s the only negative I can identify. We celebrated 4-2 when there was still time to play.
“We should have thought about going to continue playing the game. We had little experience at this moment. I’m sad because I thought we deserved more.
Malik Fufana, who scored from the penalty spot from Lacazette, has echoed the coach’s feelings.
“I think everyone was disappointed because we played a very good game, but in the end, it wasn’t enough,” Fufana said.
“I think we made a little facilitation. We thought it was over, but big games were like that – never ended. In the end, we have to expect more from ourselves, especially in games like that.
