The quarter-final return of the Europa League lost Thursday by Olympique Lyonnais on the lawn of Manchester United (5-4, AP) entered history in more than one title. After a completely crazy scenario, the Gones lost everything in seven minutes. However, and despite a numerical inferiority, the men of Paulo Fonseca had managed to reverse the trend from 2-0 to 2-4 in their favor. But the fourth goal of Lyon scored by Alexandre Lacazette has changed everything. Rolland Courbis returned to this time of rocking.
The former coach of Stade Rennais and Olympique de Marseille spoke about the subject on the set of the team on Friday. And it is a furious and almost out of him Rolland Courbis that castigated the attitude of the Lyonnais when celebrating a goal that they believed decisive.
“I spent part of my life fighting two things: the stupid hugs that I can't stand and that I find more ridiculous (…), and that the match is not over. We did not curl the ridicule, we reached it. (…) At 2-4, you are twelve minutes from the end, you are not twelve seconds. You play nineteen-on-one, you just made a return which is simply extraordinary, are you going to play the semi-finals … But what is it for? It looked like the match was over. »»
The regrets not finished for OL
Boiling, the consultant continued: “I may be severe, I'm sorry, I will even be able to apologize, it's not a professional error, it's a professional fault which happened twelve minutes from the end. It's unacceptable! »» As for Paulo Fonseca that we saw almost caught up in the time when Alexandre Lacazette came to celebrate the goal with the Lyon bench and everyone celebrated this as if the match was finished, Rolland Courbis was not more tender. “I put it in the same batch. (…) Instead of repelling them, he kissed with them. »»
For the observer, the Lyon regrets could even be even greater in a few weeks. “Do we realize that the problem may not be over yet?” When Lyon goes to see that maybe Manchester United won this Europa League and at the same time recover money that would have done a lot of good in Lyon, I believe that the problems are not yet finished. »»
