LOSC has temporarily paused its journey in the Champions League. He will nevertheless pick up very strongly with a trip to Liverpool that the Mastiffs will want to win.
Defeated by Sporting CP when it entered the competition, LOSC has since had a stunning run in the Champions League. His men overcame Real Madrid, Atlético, Bologna and SK Sturm Graz while neutralizing Juventus on their lawn. With 13 points on the clock, the Mastiffs are guaranteed to finish among the 24 best teams and to compete at least in the qualifying play-offs in the round of 16. But they can still aim for the top 8!
“Liverpool is today the best European team”
“It makes you dreamadmits Lucas Chevalier, questioned about this on the set of Canal Football Club
this Sunday. I wouldn't say that it's an objective, because that of the dams has been achieved, it's done. A club like Lille, no one expected us there. Here we are, there are two matches left, Liverpool and Feyenoord. We want to, me first, I want to believe in it, even if it's going to be hard. Whatever happens, at the end of the two matches, we will not be disappointed. »
During its journey, LOSC opposes the biggest teams in Europe and discovers the most prestigious settings:
“That's what's wonderful about this new formula, is that we can play in lots of big stadiums. Doing it with Lille is even more beautiful. At first, it wasn't, but we were lucky to come up against these opponents. We go there with confidence and the feeling that we have nothing to lose. Liverpool are the best European team today. Either way, we enter the field to win, no matter who the opponent is.”proclaims the Lille doorman, impatient to get back on track with this great adventure.
“There is instinct and I hope to keep it as long as possible”
The Dogues are at the level, and Lucas Chevalier too. However, he does not feel any real differences in his performances between competitions: “In fact, everything I do in the Champions League has a lot more impacthe emphasizes. It's just the visibility that changes. Afterwards, you have to manage the emotional aspect of the match, the meeting, the issues, the TV, but I have always had this carefree attitude which means that I manage to reproduce what I did in Valenciennes, in the League 2, and what I did in Ligue 1 last season, to naturally do it again in the Champions League. The general public sees it more and inevitably, this allows me to advance in my career”he explains.
The last rampart of LOSC relies on something of its own, its instinct: “It’s definitely going faster, and fortunately because otherwise it wouldn’t be justified at the levelhe said, smiling. But then, I wouldn't really know how to explain my stops? There is instinct and I hope to keep it as long as possible. The day I'm going to calculate too much, that's when I'm going to think about it.”concludes Lucas Chevalier on the antennas of Canal+.
