Author of the winning goal this Friday, during the duel between LOSC and OGC Nice, Bafodé Diakité mentioned Jonathan David, who would have liked to steal his achievement. All with a smile.
Who could have predicted such a scenario this Friday? More than pushed by Nice in its lair, LOSC miraculously escaped with a goal behind at the break. The rest was much more positive with two Lille achievements during the second act. Hakon Hataldsson put the two teams back on level terms (48'), then Bafodé Diakité, in the right place at the right time, fired a shot under the bar (63') to give his team the advantage.
Already author of his third achievement this season, Bafodé Diakité appeared in the mixed zone to analyze his personal performance: “I'm surprised when the ball comes to mehe says, commenting on his goal. In the end I think I'm offside. But I watched the slow motion and it was an opposing player who returned the ball to me. I'm just trying to put it over the goalie… I almost put it over
»he quickly admits, bursting out laughing.
While he was still celebrating his achievement, a small voice reminded him that he could have favored altruism: “Luckily I watch Jonathan David in training and he puts them on well. After my goal, he came to me to tell me that I could have scored for him. (laughing) I replied “Hey brother, share a little. You've scored enough goals as it is, let people shine.tells us with a little smile Bafodé Diakité in the mixed zone, following the victory of LOSC (2-1) over OGC Nice.
A few minutes earlier, he had already mentioned Jonathan David. However, he had to step up to defend it in the small corner even though he hasn't scored since the beginning of December: “As a teammate, I prefer a Jonathan David who helps the group, even if he scores less. I prefer a striker who presses and makes the effort like him. If he helps us, it will give us confidence. There are too few people who see this, but it matters a lot”he insisted.
