Back in front of its home crowd, LOSC settled for a draw (1-1) by welcoming Les Gones de l'OL, letting precious points slip away in the eyes of the journalists present in the small window.
Two points lost or a good point won, that is always the question when a team has to settle for a draw in the championship. This Friday, this was the case of LOSC and Olympique Lyonnais, unable to decide between themselves (1-1) despite dozens of clear situations. It is nevertheless necessary to decide and on the board of The Evening Teammany felt that the Mastiffs had let precious units slip away.
“If Lille wants to win places on the podium, we must not let these kinds of points slip away”
“Lille is doing the worst, and for two reasons. Following the poor result of AS Monaco (beaten by Angers, 0-1), they had the opportunity to take second place. The second reason is that based on the first half, they should at least have an advantage of two to three goals at the break. They had a lot of opportunities, missed them, and gave the Lyonnais the opportunity to come back. This is what happened at the end of the match. For these two reasons, Lille lost big this evening (Friday)”begins Régis Brouard, former coach of SC Bastia. On an accounting level, thanks to this point, LOSC is temporarily ahead of OM on the third step of the podium.
The technician sees several of his friends nodding. The first is none other than Grégory Schneider, who judges that Bruno Genesio's squad did not respect its rank. “Lille is a much more high-end team than Lyon. This is a Champions League team, capable of beating Real Madrid. It’s a strong team that breathes that air. Lyon, under no circumstances. Lille is required to win these kinds of matches to enforce the hierarchy, which they did not do. They lose two precious pointscontinues the journalist from Liberationbefore outbidding. If Lille wants to tickle the places on the podium, we must not let these kinds of points slip away. »
The final word is for Olivier Rodriguez, physical trainer from Le Havre AC: “I always believe that football is about dynamics. There, it is perfect for Lille with Fenerbahçe, Real and Atlético de Madrid, the collection is growing and there is no more room for chance. There is success, but no chancebegins the Norman, who fears that this second period will have a harmful effect over time. They still break something. They had the means to knock out their opponents, to drive home the point and they did not do it. This no longer provides the same basis for the next deadlines”he concludes, bringing a new angle of reflection to the debates.
