Beaten in Strasbourg (2-1), Saturday evening in Ligue 1, the LOSC collected a first setback in fifteen days. A bitter defeat for Génésio and his family.
It is an understatement to say that the week was complicated for the LOSC, beaten in turn in Liverpool (2-1) and Strasbourg (2-1) when it was, before Tuesday, invainly for twenty-one and all competitions combined. In Ligue 1, after 14 days in a row without losing, the Lille collective therefore fell on Saturday in Alsace and this when it led at halftime.

I just want to congratulate my players, tell them to raise their heads and digest this blow of fate, because I think we deserved to win. (…) It is not this little stop that will brake us. “From a purely accounting point of view, if, since Lille lost his third place on Saturday (Monaco was returned to two points) and could even be sixth this Sunday evening, according to the results of Nice (5th) and the 'OL (6th).
