After Lille's victory this Wednesday against Sturm Graz in the Champions League, the president of the northern club Olivier Létang was satisfied with the performance of his team.
“We have thirteen points after six matches, it’s a very, very great performance” in the Champions League, rejoiced Losc president Olivier Létang after his club's new victory at home against Sturm Graz (3-2) on Wednesday. The northern club has almost assured itself of qualification, at least, for the play-offs of the most prestigious and profitable European competition between clubs. “For us the objective has been achievedunderlined Olivier Létang. There was also music that is perhaps legitimate: we beat Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, so it will be easy. We knew it would be a difficult match, so we are very happy to have thirteen points tonight.” The Mastiffs have often defied predictions since the start of their European campaign, to obtain this unexpected total of points.
“I think we have probably inherited one of the most difficult draws,” insisted the president of the northern club. We have thirteen points after six matches, it's a very, very great performance, so we have to congratulate everyone, the players, the staff, Bruno (Genesio), for the work that has been done. Losc can now even aim for the first eight places, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16. “We have two matches left, anything is possible, and if we can finish in the top eight, we will not deprive ourselves of it, it will allow us to play two matches less in February, when we see the calendar as it is condensed over January and February, I think it’s something that’s quite interesting”he concluded.
