Passing through the mixed zone this Wednesday, following LOSC's success over Bologna (1-2), Olivier Létang applauded with both hands, saluting the collective performance of his men.
Ready to ride a great dynamic, its own with its eleven consecutive matches without a setback, LOSC caught the right wave in Bologna, where there is however no water point. Without the slightest drop, the Mastiffs nevertheless made hearts capsize by pocketing a precious success (1-2) away, including that of their president Olivier Létang: “It was a great match, we had a great match with an almost completely controlled performancehe said in the mixed zone this Wednesday.
The only thing we can perhaps regret is not having scored this third goal which would have put us away for good with a less stressful end to the match.
Well done to the whole team, well done to Bruno (Genesio), well done to the staff on tonight's performance because it's really a great performance. To come here having this mastery and so many chances, I think that hasn't happened to many teams.”greeted the Lille leader.
This northern success came through his youth, and the remarkable performances of Ayyoub Bouaddi, Matias Fernande-Pardo and Ngal'ayel Mukau, author of his first professional goals. Olivier Létang welcomes this freshness:
“I am very happy because it is also our project to want to develop young boys. There is Ayyoub (Bouaddi), Matias (Fernandez-Pardo), Ngala' (Mukau) and others who could arrive. I am very happy with this mix (youth and experience). At the start of the season, I told everyone that I dreamed of playing a match with a 16-year-old boy (Ayyoub Bouaddi) and another 17-year-old (Ethan Mbappé), we did it. We move forward, we work. It's a great evening for LOSC, but we have to keep our feet on the ground. We move directly to Sunday's match, against Montpellier, which will be very difficult. It's a club that is affected, but which has just beaten Brest. I imagine they will be very upset”analyzed the president of LOSC.
Like its youngsters, LOSC is also progressing by gaining experience on a European scene that it has been around since the beginning of the 2000s and a team led at the time by Vahid Halilhodžić: “You don’t have a great team if you’re not a great club. One goes with the other and I think what happened last weekend (the 80th anniversary of LOSC) demonstrated it. There were a lot of emotions. It was very important for us to honor those who made the club. It’s up to us to take care of their legacy”concluded Olivier Létang in the mixed zone, in the bowels of the Renato-Dall'Ara Stadium in Bologna.
