In this section, the Lille Lille gives the floor to LOSC supporters at the end of each of his meetings. The latter recently experienced a legendary trip with a duel disputed in Anfield against Liverpool (2-1). The defeat could not alleviate the party.
Reduced to ten during the last half hour of play, following the expulsion of Aïssa Mandi (59 ′) for a second yellow card, the LOSC could not hold up to the end of its duel with Liverpool. Jonathan David (62 ′) had responded to the opening of Mohamed Salah's score (34 ′), but Harvey Elliott came in stride to the northern hopes (67 ′). Suddenly stopped by this setback (2-1), the LOSC invincibility series, already guaranteed to be a barragist, therefore stopped at 21 consecutive games without setbacks and will have remained fantastic until its judgment in view of the Disputed poster.
Defeated in a mythical enclosure, LOSC still made Lille supporters proud, happy to have been able to live a privileged moment in Liverpool. This duel was commented on by a duo: Rayan and Loïc. The two will have long memories of this confrontation in Anfield.
A question of feeling
The LOSC was beaten. This is the first news of the week at the Domaine de Luchin, whose occupants had not experienced the defeat since September 17, 2024. The evening lived in Liverpool has rekindled old memories. However, the taste for defeat was not bitter this Tuesday, in Anfield: “Above all, I felt pride. I expected that we are much more dominated than that and finally, we looked them in the eyes a good part of the first half. It is a lot of pride to see our players show up in Anfield, in this stadium, with this face “says Loïc.
The analysis is also
« positive » For Rayan:
“I wanted to see how the team was going to try to play against a team in shape to see the evolution compared to the match against Sporting where I had found the Timorée team.
He missed things, especially offensively with injuries, but in the balance of power, I saw a team compete in several sequences with the best team in Europe Since the start of the seasonhe is satisfied. I would say that it is experience, beyond talent, which has made the difference, continues Loïc, which resumes. The guys have been playing the Champions League for years. Nothing could be left them. It was enough for a balloon. »»
Regrets
At the final whistle, different emotions mixed in the Lille locker room. Frustration, pride, and obviously regrets. At least that's what Bruno Genesio described to us during his passage in front of the media. Rayan and Loïc, our two interviewed, oppose this vision. They, regrets, they don't really have them, unless they have to dig.
-“There was a clear individual superiority of Liverpool playersfirst recognizes Rayan.
If you really have to go and look for regrets, it is rather on the absences of (Edon) Zhegrova and especially (Matias) Fernandez-Pardo, who could have allowed to be less shy offensively with a different playing stylehe analyzes. If Loïc does not really advance the same arguments, the bottom is similar. I have no regrets, because we loved our luck with our weapons and our abilities. I think the gap, technical and in terms of experience, was still substantial. It could hardly have hoped for better. The only point that annoys me is axes of improvement, we had glaring difficulties at this level ”launches the last named.
ROC Alexsandro
“He is a player who takes risks, so sometimes we sweat a little”said Bruno Genesio at a press conference on Tuesday, smiling when Alexsandro's name was mentioned by his interlocutors. Efficient, the Brazilian shone and as much to say that his style is appreciated by Loïc: “Alexsandro makes me sweat as much as he gives me joyhe also preferred to laugh.
We all have a share of madness in us. With him, she may be a little higher than in the average, but personally, he delights me ”he said. Suffice to say that he appreciated.
Rayan is on the same wavelength: “It's his style so you have to live with it and when it goes, you can only congratulate your performance,” he judges. And when there will be services with errors on this type of fantasy, we will say that it should not do that. This aspect of its game is part of its margin of progression but also of its singularity ”nuances this supporter of LOSC. Nothing is ever black or white.
The top 8
“Sixteen points, I don't know if it will be enough to integrate the top 8. I even think it will not be”Lucas Chevalier told us in the mixed zone, following the LOSC defeat in Anfield (2-1). Ambitious, the Lille have never hidden their intentions, those of qualifying directly for the knockout stages of the competition. This objective could seem crazy at the start of the competition, but is as time has become something that it was truly possible to reach. However, defeats, nothing is assured now.
Do Lille supporters still believe in the first eight places? Rayan and Loïc are skeptical: “The top 8 will be complicated to reach Because the teams that are positioned in front of us, I am thinking in particular of Aston Villa or Leverkusen, have very affordable opponents. I don't see them dropping places now. All we have to do is play our luck against Feyenoord and then we will see. It will be a complicated match. You will have to be ready and not have the ranking in mind when entering the field. It is the desire to win that must take precedence ”let go of the last named. By his side, Rayan nods. Nothing should be forbidden, but making an obsession is not the solution to perform during the eighth and last day of the Champions League League: “Given the results and matches of the last day, it seems very improbable but in any case, there is a place between the 9th and the 16th to be secured to compete in a sixteenth return to home, which constitutes an important advantage in the European Cup. This is the priority. And if there is a misunderstanding in front, we will take “he thus concludes, impatient to discover what the future still has in the Dogues.
