LOSC won on the pitch of FC Metz this Sunday as the battle for the podium tightens. The chroniclers of Sunday Night Footballon Prime Videowere won over by the Lille performance.
Ismaily allowed LOSC to equalize this Sunday afternoon on the Metz pitch. A few minutes after Georges Mikautadze opened the score, the Brazilian full-back surpassed himself on his way up to conclude a quality collective movement. According to Frédéric Piquionne, the LOSC tactical system allows this type of movement: “It’s all the freedom that the Lille players have too. There is a game plan with a lot of freedom. Behind it, there is compensation. Simply, he completes his action, with a decisive pass from Jonathan David and a nice finish also for a left sidehe says, before praising the consistency of the Lille squad. Yusuf Yazici returned from loan. He wasn’t there last season. But Paulo Fonseca concerns everyone. It’s also important for this end of the season. They need the group. Rémy Cabella has returned, there it is Yusuf Yazici, Edon Zhegrova can play. There are a lot of offensive players”declared Frédéric Piquionne.
Many wondered about LOSC’s ability to bounce back after its elimination against Aston Villa in the Europe Conference League. The systems seemed affected, especially physically, as fatigue was felt. Adil Rami is still satisfied to see that LOSC is not giving up: “What a great Lille team because they lost a lot of feathers in the European Cup. We see that each end of the match becomes harder and harder. They’re starting to force it. Fortunately they have a slightly wider bench than other teams.”
For his part, Lucas Chevalier had a relatively calm Sunday at Saint-Symphorien. The Lille goalkeeper did not have to work as hard as he did in the past. However, he was close to an assist late in the match for Edon Zhegrova, which he launched deep. His kicking game continues to progress and this catches the attention of Adil Rami: “He’s progressing in everything. He begins to gain confidence and take responsibility. It’s not even a surprise to us anymore. He knows how to play with the qualities of his teammates, particularly with Edon Zhegrova who goes very, very quickly”.
