Defeated by OL during the 32nd day of Ligue 1, LOSC missed the opportunity to climb onto the podium. Fourth with 2 days to go, a question arises about the benefit of this play-off status. The opportunity to probe you on this subject.
It’s a debate that is flourishing throughout the Lille community following the setback conceded by LOSC on their home pitch against OL (3-4). The podium remains the designated objective, but with only two days of the championship remaining, the Lille team is still two points behind Stade Brestois, which also faces Stade de Reims this Friday, May 10. This gap, if not the most significant, is the Source of concern among northern supporters, some of whom already no longer believe in their chance of conquering third place, synonymous with direct qualification for the Champions League. Resigned, they then focus on fourth position, the one which will force the Mastiffs to go through two preliminary rounds before hoping to be able to reach the big-eared cup. Some even went so far as to give their preference to the fifth place and the Europa League. Questioned by these positions, we cannot miss this opportunity to carry out a survey. Which position do you prefer between fourth and fifth?
This debate had already been discussed a few weeks earlier on the radio. RMC In After Football : “If a team has to finish fourth, it definitely shouldn’t be Lille. When you see their squad, they don’t know if they are going to keep their coach, you have three or four players (Jonathan David, Leny Yoro and Angel Gomes), one year from the end of their contract and if you are fourth, it is more difficult to prepare for the future. They have a squad review to do and this position will not allow it. Above all, they must not relax and aim for the first three places, nothing else”launched Lionel Charbonnier during the season.
