This is a habit adopted by the official Ligue 1 website, which took advantage of mid-season to take stock of the best athletic performances of the first six months of competition.
The end-of-year holiday period, i.e. the winter break, is always an opportunity to take stock of Ligue 1. Its official website has therefore focused on the performances of the athletes who make up the squads of its various teams. . Regarding LOSC, three individuals emerge from the chosen angles: Benjamin André (34 years old), Mohamed Bayo (26 years old) and Tiago Santos (22 years old).
- Benjamin Andrew : Immovable member of the Lille midfielder, of which he is the most seasoned player, the native of Nice is one, with 10.70 kilometers, of the players having covered the most distance on average per match. The captain of the Dogues is sixth in Ligue 1, ahead of Marshall Munetsi (Stade de Reims, 11.74 km), Douglas Augusto (FC Nantes, 11.72 km) and Hicham Boudaoui (OGC Nice, 11.39 km). This Top 10 is essentially made up of defensive midfielders or relay players, symbol of the demands of the position.
- Mohamed Bayo : In a similar area, a small variation allows the Lille attacker to stand out. With 10.91 kilometers, he is one of the players who have covered the most distance per 90 minutes over the last six months. The former Clermontois is tenth and serves as an exception in a ranking once again made up of a majority of defensive midfielders. Only Désiré Doué, who plays between the wing and the point at Paris Saint-Germain, is also an offensive player in this ranking.
- Tiago Santos: Finally, the Portuguese remains present in the statistics despite his injury. Flashed at 35.7 km/h during the reception of Paris Saint-Germain last September, he is one of the fastest players in the championship this season. Seventh in Ligue 1, he is notably ahead of Luis Henrique (OM, 36.98 km/h), Shavy Babicka (TFC, 36.62 km/h) and Emanuel Emegha (RCSA, 36.57 km/h).
There are still 19 days left for the Mastiffs to stand out in these different rankings. The second part of the LOSC season will begin with the reception of FC Nantes on January 4 at 7 p.m. The recovery has been scheduled for December 30.
