While no LOSC player stopped in the mixed zone on Wednesday evening to comment on the defeat in Strasbourg (1-2), the president of the Dogues Olivier Létang came to speak an hour after the meeting and he did not did not mince his words towards his team: “I’m going to have a lousy vacation. I am very, very, very, very disappointed. We can lose matches, miss passes or checks but we don’t have the right to have the attitude we had today. It’s not possible, it’s not at all what we want. The Paris match hid our end a little but I told the players that the Clermont match (0-0, December 10) was already in my throat. »
Inside in Auvergne, remarkable for their solidity and solidarity against PSG on Sunday (1-1), Lille fell back into their ways this Wednesday evening, giving the unfortunate impression of choosing their matches. “With Paulo (Fonseca), we have a level of ambition and the players have not been at the level of ambition that is ours,” continues Olivier Létang. I said after the match in Lens (1-1, October 8) that our course would depend on our series and our attitudes. Today’s match and Clermont are not at all the attitudes we want. »
“The players will have to ask themselves the right questions during the holidays”
The Lille president hopes for a reawakening of his troops: “If we want to claim something in this Championship, the players will have to ask themselves the right questions during the holidays. We cannot snatch a draw in the 95th against Paris and have the attitudes of Clermont or this (Wednesday) evening. You have to be humble to win matches. If you drop a little, you pay for it immediately. At halftime, I knew we were going to lose this game. After Paris, we warned them. In high-level sport, the most important match is the one after. Against Paris, they were praised, it’s fantastic… What interested us was this evening. We told them what we thought about it in the locker room. I’m very, very, very upset. »
