ASSE has imposed itself 1-0 against the LOSC this Friday evening at the opening of the fourth day of Ligue 1. A relief for Dall’Oglio and his players who are finally starting their championship after three consecutive defeats. A courageous victory but one that will certainly count. A victory that clearly did not please the group.
This is a transcription of The Voice of the NorthLOSC president Olivier Létang railed against his team’s performance. Strong words from the Dogues boss.
“I am ashamed of what we proposed this evening. I am not going to talk to you from a technical or tactical point of view. I simply talk about commitment. I congratulate Saint-Etienne because their victory is deserved. They were there in the commitment. We could have conceded a second goal. It is shameful for us. We cannot be a great team when we lose three games in a row. We were warned. Two years ago we missed the Europa League by one point. In May we missed the Champions League by one point. Today we lose three that we will never recover. Who can tell me here that my players wanted to win? We will explain ourselves among ourselves…
I don’t care about the Champions League. Our daily bread is the championship. We have to perform well in the championship. And you think we’re going to do that with such attitudes? I’ll say it right away, it’s no! It’s impossible. Last season, we had a very average record away from home. Now we’re on three defeats in a row. This is a rant about that. We’re having an average start to the season. Everyone was raving about us at the start of the season. We have to get our feet back on the ground. This is a warning message so that everyone wakes up.”
