In a few hours, LOSC and AJ Auxerre will face each other in the seventeenth day of Ligue 1. Lassine Sinayoko displayed his ambitions at a press conference to introduce this meeting.
Abbé-Deschamps hosts its first meeting of the year 2025 this Friday, with the reception of LOSC which opposes AJ Auxerre. This meeting is “approached with great confidence” by Lassine Sinayoko, flagship attacker of Christophe Pélissier’s system. “We know that we are good at home (six consecutive matches without defeat in the league, editor’s note). We worked throughout the week to be there. Each match has its own story. We are focused. We know it’s going to be complicated, but we have already shown that we know how to respond to this type of challenge. We are not in a fear match. »
The Mastiffs, led by Bruno Genesio, are engaged in an unbeaten run of 18 matches in all competitions. This dynamic does not make the Auxerre attacker tremble:
“What gives us a lot of confidence is that we are aware that we have achieved big results against very big teamsassure Lassine Sinayoko.
Once we beat Marseille or neutralize Paris Saint-Germain, we are capable of doing anything. We can beat everyone and that gives us a boost. We prepare for the match in the same way as usual, but in our minds, there is probably an extra bit of soul”he continues.
At work throughout the week, Lassine Sinayoko seems to know what to expect as this shock approaches. He knows LOSC’s style of play like the back of his hand: “We know Lille very well, what kind of team they are. They have possession against every team they play, so it’s going to be difficult to get the ballhe admits. We will still try to keep it, to show our football too, but we are aware that it is not going to be easy. We worked on things in training to be more efficient in our ball retention and also to succeed in countering them well. But yes, we are obviously aware that it will be complicated to have possession against them”he concludes, as the meeting scheduled for this Friday at 9:05 p.m. approaches.
