Le LOU « bascule du bon côté du championnat » avec Karim Ghezal

Deux mois après avoir été viré du Stade Français, Karim Ghezal s’engageait début décembre avec le LOU pour six mois. Et encore deux mois plus tard, force est de constater que la greffe a prise, et plutôt bien. Samedi 15 février, les Lyonnais ont signé une victoire impressionnante sur La Rochelle, 53-17.

Ce score est non seulement la plus lourde défaite subie par les Maritimes depuis 2020, mais aussi un record pour Lyon depuis le 53-19 contre Bayonne le 28 mai 2023. Ca reste encore en-deçà du record absolu de 71-17 contre Agen lors de la saison 2017-2018 du Top 14.

Depuis que Ghezal est arrivé dans le staff, c’est bien simple, le LOU n’a plus connu la défaite en Top 14. Sur les neuf derniers matchs, incluant ceux de la Challenge Cup, le LOU n’a encaissé qu’une seule défaite (contre Connacht Rugby) et cumulé six victoires et décroché deux matchs nuls.

Sur les 11 matchs précédents, le bilan était moins glorieux : 7 défaites et 4 victoires. Autant dire que ce changement a été bénéfique pour les Lyonnais et ça s’est vu sur la pelouse de Gerland samedi.

Un meilleur état d’esprit

« On avait l’esprit d’équipe depuis des jours, et ce soir, c’était au top », confirmait Coenie Basson, l’entraîneur de la défense du LOU, en conférence de presse d’après-match. « On a bien préparé ce moment, et chapeau bas aux joueurs qui se sont illustrés. On a montré notre visage de LOU, avec un état d’esprit et une solidarité remarquables. Félicitations à tous. »

Meilleurs placements sur le terrain, attaques plus tranchantes, défense plus solide, agressivité et solidarité sont les piliers de la méthode Ghezal. Malgré un nombre encore élevé de pénalités (16) et de nombreuses fautes en conquête, le LOU se relève et ne cesse de remonter au classement pour pointer à la 8e place, à seulement deux points du Top 6.

« Pour moi, ce qui saute aux yeux, c’est l’état d’esprit. On voit qu’on ne laisse rien passer, qu’on s’arrache sur chaque ballon avec l’envie d’avancer, que ce soit en attaque ou en défense, à n’importe quel moment du match », évoque le troisième-ligne Dylan Cretin.

« L’arrivée de Karim a beaucoup compté. Il a renforcé la cohésion dans notre travail au quotidien, et c’est vraiment top. On montre beaucoup plus de caractère et d’envie sur toutes les phases de jeu. Et dans un sport comme le rugby, ça change tout.

« Je pense que notre état d’esprit a évolué par rapport à la situation où on était début novembre. Aujourd’hui, on avance. On ne va pas s’enflammer, parce qu’on sait qu’on n’est pas à l’abri. Il reste de gros objectifs devant nous, et on est prêts à les relever. »

« C’est réussi », enchaînait Théo Millet, le trois-quarts centre du LOU. « On avait pas mal de questions avant ce match : est-ce qu’on serait présents, est-ce qu’on réussirait à basculer du bon côté du championnat ? C’est chose faite, et on est contents, surtout de la manière.

« On avance pas à pas, mais on prend du plaisir, forcément. Quand on met 50 points, difficile de dire le contraire ! Les avants ont vraiment facilité notre tâche derrière : quand ça avance comme ça, on peut attaquer les espaces et jouer notre jeu. Et ça, c’est toujours plaisant ! »

Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via

Was Dublin drubbing the end of an era or a bump in the road for Ireland?
