An experienced member of the locker room, Thomas Meunier was torn between several feelings following LOSC's victory over SK Sturm Graz (3-2).
At the final whistle, when the Mastiffs had just emerged victorious from a tense duel with SK Sturm Graz (3-2), Thomas Meunier appeared in the mixed zone. The Belgian, an experienced member of the Lille locker room, expressed his annoyance with the scenario of the match: “Honestly, we should have folded this match much earlier. We led by two goals. They put their foot down again with the reduction of the score then we are caught cold with the equalizer and we begin to doubt.
We have seen in recent weeks that we have each time, whether in the first or second half, cracked in the last minutes. We are trying to rectify the situation, but it must not happen again. For me, it's a bit of professional misconduct. For the rest, we took control of the match in the second half, after a first which was excellent in my eyes. We had three today, but we could have had six. I'm super happy with the victory, despite everything. It was a match in which we scared each other a little, but thirteen points, I can't wait for the rest.”he congratulated himself all the same.
This is why we had to settle for a narrow score:
“It’s true that fixing our goal average would have been nicerecognizes Thomas Meunier. It may come into play in the end, but all that matters is the three points. At this point, we are not going to dwell on details. We try to accumulate as many points as possible to be able to keep up with teams like Liverpool, Dortmund and Brest itself, who are having an incredible runpraises the Belgian, for a brief interlude. We must play without regret, without fear, without fear. We have the chance to play in a competition that all footballers dream of playing in. We're there, and we're having a lot of fun. I think the public does too. »
With thirteen points on the clock, LOSC is currently in eighth position in this mini-championship that is the Champions League and can thus fight for direct access to the round of 16 stage: “At this point, why notsmiles Thomas Meunier. It's a bit miraculous what's happening. I'm not sure that when they saw the draw, many people would give us even three points. Finally, we are there with thirteen points, one defeat and one draw only. We are reacting in a very professional manner with a group that may not be very strong on paper, but there are a lot of qualities, young people who want to show themselves, and as always, the bench often makes the difference. We are really lucky to have such a high-quality and united group. The mentality is very good and we see it every week”he ended up congratulating the whole group.
