Lyon must change everything if they hope to qualify.
Lyon must completely turn things around after their disappointing first-leg defeat in Prague, that is if they want to keep their UEFA Champions League qualification hopes alive in the third qualifying round.
Paulo Fonseca’s team, whose tactical choices have yielded no positive outcome, was infected by their team manager fear of defeat and logically lost on Tuesday match in Prague, after having the incredible luck to lead at halftime play. Without changes, the Champions League seems a very distant prospect.
It took a huge effort on Tuesday game in Prague to remember that the Lyon players were playing a crucial match for their European future competition, as they appeared apathetic, almost cowardly, against a Sparta team that was within their reach and which must have been surprised to see this group of players running aimlessly onto their pitch during match, with a lost look, without bearings, adrift.
