“Which is impressive, and very good, it's because they never let goeven when it seems like they're getting through it.”could thus sum up Lionel Charbonnier.
On the other side of the stage, Kevin Diaz analyzed the meeting:
“There was a half-time for each team, so the Lille victory took time to take shape. Lille managed to accelerate when necessary to win this match. It is a team which, from now on, manages to keep things together. Whether against Nice or against Marseille, they were in great difficulty during the first half hour of play. They conceded a goal, of course, but managed to react as soon as they returned from the locker room with the equalizer. Bruno Genesio managed to change things, particularly in the state of mind. Lille were more aggressive, defending while advancing.
They have an impeccable state of mindnever give up, like their captain Benjamin André »judged the former professional, who notably played in the Netherlands.

Formerly of AJ Auxerre, Lionel Charbonnier continues:
“I find that Lille continues to progress, even if they are not impeccable. I'm thinking in particular of the match at Auxerre, where they came through, but they managed to progress. They no longer want to know about past mishaps. They are able to re-mobilize after a complicated first period and they win the matches”he began.
“What is impressive, and very good, is that they never give up, even when it seems like they are getting through ithe continued. Generally, it is Lucas Chevalier who makes the good saves in complicated moments.
It prevents them from taking in water. The people of Lille have raised their voice. I think that against Lille, a squad like that, you can endure, but you have to resist. There, the first opportunity, the Niçois scored a goal. […] There, the people of Lille let the storm pass, then remobilized to turn the match around, even if I find that they are still missing Jonathan David this evening (Friday), who is less present. But Often, when an attacker is in difficulty, he overplays and tries to hit as much as possible. This is not the case for David who also participates in the game through passing. It is he who shifts Haraldsson to the equalizer. Others would have been stubborn”concluded Lionel Charbonnier, between criticism and compliments for the Canadian.
