Neutralized by Montpellier HSC (2-2) this Sunday, LOSC fell back into its failings in the eyes of Daniel Riolo who nevertheless thought that the northern club “was cured”.
Without achieving the match of the century, LOSC was ahead on the scoreboard for a long time in Montpellier, thanks to two penalties perfectly converted by Jonathan David, master of this art. However, Lille were once again caught by old demons, ending up cracking in a stifling end to the match marked by scuffles, repeated fouls and Arnaud Nordin's equalizer in added time (90+4 ′). This zero result, synonymous with disappointment in the North, particularly disappointed Daniel Riolo, editorialist for the show
After Foot on the radio waves RMC.
“With the fight, there was a limit of 15 minutes of added time. Despite everything, even if they played during the week, that cannot be an excuse and Lille does not have to put themselves in such a situationhe begins, annoyed by how the meeting went. They go to Montpellier where there is nothing left, there are eleven puppets doing what they can. They don't have to put themselves in such trouble with a complicated match that ends in a fight. They get caught… They have to manage the match differently. It's been a long time since we've expressed such disappointment when Lille plays a short match.”insisted Daniel Riolo, who often pointed out Lille's faults in recent months.
Excited by the Lille dynamic, twelve consecutive matches without defeat in all competitions before the trip to Hérault, he thought that the Mastiffs had put his mistakes aside: “I had the impression that they were a little cured of that thinghe admits. They must go to Montpellier, put the game down calmly. There are plenty of good players in Lille. It's not possible to have a match like that where you end up with (Mitchel) Bakker, coming out during the match, who takes a red card. They don't have to have a match like that that becomes a mess. It's nonsense to concede a draw. Not taking three points is a real disappointment for Lille. Ok, they remain fourth in the standings, but that's part of the points you have to collect when you play the Champions League zone. You have to take three points in Montpellier and that's not even up for debate. You can't let Montpellier set fire like that. They barely have matches and you let them do this”he ended up castigating, monopolizing the floor on the Lille subject which seemed to be close to his heart.
