According to the French media RMC, Lyon head coach Fonseca has restored part of the rights to be able to enter the team's dressing room after the pre-match to communicate.
In March this year, in the League of Legends 2-1 defeat of Brest, Lyon head coach Fonseca ate the red card, he also protested angrily and the head-top of the main referee. After the event Fonseca was banned for 9 months, and until September 15, was banned from entering the dressing room, stadium and related channels after the pre-match.
In the fifth round of the League of Legends, which took place this morning, Lyon won 1-0 at home. This match was partly restored to Fonseca, so it was possible to go to the dressing room and the entire team after 200 days to communicate. However, if Fonseca wants to return to the coach seat field command match, it will still have to wait until the 7th of December at the Lyon field against the League of Legends against Lorraine.
Fonseca laughed before the game and said: “I miss everything, especially the contact with the players ... I miss this interaction with the players, watching the dressing room before the game, and having a separate conversation with some players.”
However, in the 14 games that fonseca missed before, Lyon scored 9 wins and 5 losses, and assistants Jorge Marciel and Paul Ferreira did a good job. Fonseca just thought that if he could enter the dressing room, maybe Lyon's 2-4 defeat to Strasbourg and Lyon's 1-3 defeat to Rennes would have different results. In those two games, Lyon performed well in the first half but suddenly collapsed in the second half.
Fonseca also said: “Coach team members have done well, and this situation is not easy to deal with. But with the help of everyone in the club, we have arranged things well. We have to learn from all the situations, and I have to learn to be more calm on the coach’s seat.”
“We have to adapt and take responsibility in the dressing room, the core players have to speak more and unite the whole team with strong words. In the past we needed a coach to guide us in tactical subtleties, but sometimes we need to find the right time for ourselves, to pursue or control the pace of the game. This time has enhanced the team’s cohesion, and the coach can now return to the dressing room, and we are happy because he can offer a more tactical perspective.”
