Paulo Fonseca praises Lyon’s resilience after win | OneFootball

Paulo Fonseca hailed Lyon’s mental strength after a win, praising a vibrant attack while insisting plenty still needs work. As reported by Le Progres, he felt they could have scored six or seven, and wants sharper finishing, stronger work against transitions and calmer game management after a difficult spell and a typically demanding deadline day.

Will Still lamented soft set-piece defending for the first goal, a cheap turnover for the second and space allowed on the edge for the third, saying his team shot themselves in the foot three times. He acknowledged the frustration, credited Lyon’s quality and said his side must learn quickly while keeping their composure.

One Lyon scorer said he hit the ball instinctively, recalling two similar goals in Milan last season, and called it a powerful emotion to score here.

He added he feels at ease in a hard-working group. Lyon remain unbeaten and, after two underwhelming games, he felt they controlled the second half and have restarted their momentum.

Another Lyon player called three points, a goal and an assist the ideal outcome. He was thrilled to net his first league goal in a while after a long recovery from injury, saying he is back.
