“A coach’s career is judged over time and not by strokes” decreed Bruno Genesio at a press conference on Thursday, referring to the exploits achieved in the Champions League. In this statement, doesn't the real challenge for LOSC this season lie? Confirming in the long term is obviously the objective. And it starts this Friday evening, at 9 p.m., against OL.

Confirmation time
There are many Lille players in the squad who experienced the bitter setback of last season against the Lyonnais. Trailing 2-0, the Gones snatched the decision in added time after an incredible end to the match at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium (3-4). Enough to add a zest of revenge to a meeting synonymous with shock.
Lille have the “dynamic” factor in their favor after their crazy week punctuated by a success in the Northern derby (0-2). Conversely, Lyon experienced its first defeat in the Europa League against Besiktas (0-1) and conceded a damaging draw against Auxerre last weekend (2-2). OL nonetheless remains a serious candidate for the top 6 in Ligue 1, with an attack 5th in Ligue 1 driven, in particular, by an attractive Lacazette-Fofana-Cherki trio.
Poster to follow from 8 p.m. on France Bleu Nord
LOSC should field a starting eleven similar to the one that started in Lens, with the exception of central defender Alexsandro, suspended for this match for accumulation of yellow cards.
This shock of the 10th day of Ligue 1 can be followed live and in full from 8 p.m. on France Bleu Nord with Mathieu Dervaux and Simon Jarnier.
