Lucas Chevalier was decisive in his cages at Auxerre this Friday, during a meeting during which LOSC, neutralized (0-0), saw the podium slip through their fingers. This new failure, however, is not notable in the eyes of the Lille goalkeeper.
The year 2025 begins in a frustrating way for Bruno Genesio’s men, authors of two poor performances during their first two outings. First at home, against FC Nantes (1-1), then this Friday at Auxerre (0-0). Twice, in the event of good results, LOSC had the opportunity to climb onto the podium: “I’ve been here for three years and I have the impression that we always have the same problem every time, that we can’t take three points in this kind of match, against teams who play in a low block, and we miss the opportunities to get on the podium”was also annoyed by Lucas Chevalier in the mixed zone in Yonne, while LOSC could be sixth at the end of the seventeenth day of Ligue 1.
However, when he is truly questioned on the subject, Lucas Chevalier takes a step back, refusing to dwell on Lille’s bad habit: “We can’t talk about regret now because we’re only halfway through the seasonhe corrects from the outset. We also have the chance that teams like Monaco, like Lyon, like Nice… don’t necessarily always take points. And then there will also be direct confrontations. If the teams next to us take as many points as us, no gap will be widened. So no, there are no major regrets. We will do the accounts at the end of the championship. There, we can perhaps say this match there and that match, but no, no regrets. There are so many matches coming up, with three tables (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Champions League). We’re just trying to put regrets aside. We will count in due time”replied the last rampart of LOSC, like a speech intoned by Gabriel Gudmundsson a few days earlier.
According to this reasoning, we would therefore have to wait until May, either when LOSC missed the step which allowed it to qualify for the Europa League during the 2022-2023 season (in Troyes), or that which was synonymous podium and direct qualification for the Champions League, against Nice (2-2), during the previous year. The years go by and perhaps will still be the same in the North.
