Juventus: solid against Juve, the Mastiffs earn a good point, the summary

Thank you for following this wonderful meeting with us. We will see you very soon on our site for other deadlines.

Bruno Genesio delighted with the draw, hopes that his team will quickly win the 3 points it lacks for qualification “I think it’s essential to suffer together. It’s a great strength to know how to stand together and make efforts against each other. We’ve been doing it since August 8 with a lot of headwinds. Statistically we says we need 10 points, we still have one victory left, it’s up to us to do it quickly.

Thiago Motta is disappointed with the result because he finds that his team was poorly rewarded throughout the match.I am satisfied with the match but not with the result. On the other hand, we found a well-organized team that played counterattacks well. But we can’t be satisfied with a draw because we were looking for victory.”

Lille can be proud of their series of 3 matches against the big names (Real, Atletico and Juve). A series during which they were able to collect 7 points thanks above all to great defensive solidity and some individual exploits. This was again the case this evening against a valiant Turin team who often dominated the Mastiffs, but they were not able to be very effective in attack. Like the numerous chances she had before Vlahovic’s equalizer from the penalty spot (59th). The Serb therefore lacked lucidity in the first act (13th, 34th, 35th) but above all he came up against a very good Knight. Ditto for Conceiçao and Thuram (55th) after the break.

Fortunately, Lille can count on its talented players to achieve exploits in spurts, like the elusive Zhegrova, who was excellent this evening. Author of a bright pass for David on goal (27th) after a confusing dribble, he also highlighted the Canadian call by breaking through the Transalpine defense. It was again he who tried to provoke a revolt at the end of the match with two nice shots (78th, 83rd). In the end the two teams will settle for a draw and both remain in a good position in the standings (Juve is 10th, Lille 12th) while waiting for tomorrow’s matches.

Undoubtedly the man of the match, Lucas Chevalier is also happy with this draw.”If we had won it would have been a good hold up. We are happy with this draw against a team who have a little bit of everything. I knew I would be called upon, I hoped to save the penalty but hey you can’t have everything in life. Concerning the French team, I stand ready, I do my job and then if it comes, so much the better.”

Jonathan David is rather satisfied with this result as he admitted on Canal Plus ” It’s not a bad operation. The draw is deserved. We were able to score on a transition. We know that this Juve team is of quality. On my goal, I managed a nice cross race before a good finish.”

The referee whistles the end of the match. A good point scored by Lille against a Juve team, playful but lacking lucidity in the zone of truth. The Mastiffs nevertheless delivered a serious performance and knew how to manage their weak times to grab one more point in the standings.

The referee of the match adds five minutes in this second half, it is Lille who finishes this match better

Osame Sharaoui, a little discreet offensively this evening, leaves his place to Fernandez-Pardo for the last five minutes of the match.

Another great breakthrough from the Kosovar midfielder who finished the action with a shot on target but not powerful enough, captured by Di Gregorio.

The Icelandic Gudmundsson leaves his place for the Dutchman Bakker on the Lille side

On the following corner, André is served in the area but his attempted header goes over the opposing goals

Finally a great opportunity for Lille, Zhegrova after a series of dribbles sees his powerful shot from the right, deflected for a corner by Di Gregorio

Still few sharp attacks from Lille, to their credit the threat from the Old Lady is less significant.

Yellow card for the Lille captain for a gesture of humor towards the referee
