Captain of LOSC, whose colors he has defended for more than five years, Benjamin André is content with the meager success pocketed (1-0) by LOSC this Sunday. Above all, he was looking forward to partying.
Opposed to Stade Rennais, a team which has not won an away match since May, LOSC had the pressure of the result on the occasion of its 80th anniversary. This is how, while in control, the Mastiffs won. Edon Zhegrova, shortly before the break (45′), threw Rémy Cabella to the side. The latter crossed at ground level for Jonathan David who missed his recovery. At the start and then at the conclusion, the Kosovar appeared to shoot a cross shot into the left net. This achievement was enough to win by a short header (1-0).
At the final whistle, Benjamin André is fully satisfied with this victory, even if the content was not the most flamboyant: “They were well in place with their line of 5 behind, it was very closed. I think we didn't press enough in the second part of the field to put more speed on, to try to destabilize them a little more. We still managed to open the score and then, in the second half, it was a little less controlled. But we knew how to stay solid, I don't think they really have any chances. It’s important, we keep a clean sheet, we win at home for the club’s 80th anniversary, it’s perfect”declared the Lille captain at the microphone of the teams of DAZN.
“All you have to do is enjoy”he concluded, then heading off to meet his teammates to celebrate the victory with dignity, but also and above all the 80th anniversary of LOSC.
