Following the draw achieved by LOSC in Nice (2-2), Olivier Létang appeared in the mixed zone to express his dissatisfaction. A speech which was the subject of debate on television sets.
The battle was tough, but there was no winner between OGC Nice and LOSC, caught in the final moments of the match last Sunday (2-2). Supporters, players, coaches and managers, all were frustrated by this result in the northern camp, like Olivier Létang. At the final whistle, the Lille president expressed his great disappointment in the mixed zone:
“We have a lot of opportunities, but in the end, we always find ourselves caught up when we don't do everything and we're enough. That's probably the story of this match. If we had all been 100% involved in the match and the event, we would probably have come away with the three points”he got annoyed, in a speech which was very reminiscent of the one he gave following the defeat of LOSC in Saint-Étienne, at the start of the season. The repetition of such statements raises questions…
“We must not forget what LOSC has been doing for several weeks, it is becoming too repetitive”
The comments made by the Lille management caused a lot of noise in the media, particularly in Greg's Team
broadcast this Monday on L’Équipe channel.
“Whether you do it once or twice a year to reframe at some point, why not. He had done it in Saint-Étienne and I appreciated the way he had done itbegan Ludovic Obraniak, former resident of LOSC. There it becomes too repetitive. We must not forget what LOSC has been doing for several weeks. They have been undefeated for ten days and Nice were upping the tempo at home. You shouldn't mess around. He's exaggerating a little there. Does he want to ride on the good results in the Champions League to have an extraordinary year, perhaps, but there he is tough. You tire the players at a certain point, when it’s too repetitive”he insisted, followed by Karim Bennani: “He likes cameras anyway, Létang, we know that”he just blurted out.
Accustomed to the sidelines, Ambre Godillon, for her part, tried to find explanations for these repeated media outings: “I experienced it on the pitch with the broadcaster and it was a bit the same. Isn't that a backfire? It was a bit like what Leonardo did with Paris Saint-Germain. They are trying to attract criticism elsewhere. […] And maybe the group works like that, but in these cases, it's up to the coach to do this kind of thing, to use this kind of lever, that of electroshocks.”concluded the journalist from DAZNstill remaining incomprehensible. This plateau was not the only one to raise questions. This was also the case for Daniel Riolo and Florent Gautreau, on RMCas well as Frédéric Piquionne and Raymond Domenech, still on The Team Channel.
