Beaming when you comment LOSC win against Real Madrid (1-0), Olivier Létang believes that this match will quickly go down in the rich history of the northern club. However, the Northern chairman is already planning for the future and hopes that this success will create further momentum within the club. An interview.
What happens after such a result?
A lot of joy, pride. It’s true that we’ve had headaches since the start of the season. I used terms about the club’s values, which are fight, loyalty, tolerance. We knew it would take a lot tonight. Despite everything, it is a well-deserved win. We have come a long way from Saint-Etienne. Those who were there may have been wondering why I answered that way. We were able to measure the gap between Saint-Etienne and tonight. It is a whole club that is moving forward, making progress. It is also a group that has a lot of qualities, because we had a lot of absences. In team sports, it’s attitudes that matter. We may enjoy one of the biggest victories in LOSC history in the European Cup. It’s awesome. I am also very happy for everyone who was in the stadium. It’s amazing.
This win will totally put you back in the competition…
Against Lisbon, we were not in good spirits, it was just after Saint-Etienne. This also allows me to take my hat off to Bruno (Genesio), to the staff, to the players. I’m proud of them today too. I was after Strasbourg. We must savor this great performance. Real Madrid have won 6 Champions Leagues in the last ten years, more than Barcelona and Bayern in their entire history. It’s a big club that we beatbut you know me. It’s always the game that happens that matters the most. If we did that against Real Madrid, we have to be up to it on Saturday against Toulouse, for our daily bread. The club will also progress when, after a fight like this, we can perform well in the following game.
This is also Bruno Genesio’s victory…
Tactically, we were very good. To win this type of game, you need the right strategy. Congratulations to Bruno (Genesio). After that, you have to be a team. I asked for this word. In team sports, the ability to make an effort for each other, for a brother by your side, that’s how we achieve good performances. Hats off to Bruno, to the players and also to the whole club, because it’s a great achievement.
We must become victory cannibals. Winning must be a drug. This should include everyone.
When did you start to believe it?
I was very confident before the game. I wanted a team with personality. We felt in the last two games that we were building momentum. The boys also became aware of several things. This is very important. You have to taste it. This is their moment, we must take advantage of it. I am very proud of them, very happy with what they have done.
Not only did LOSC beat Real Madrid once today, they beat them twice. What does this provide?
We often talk about our DNA, about winning all the time. Some people may have been surprised that I said that we were not there to take pictures with them, but to be actors in this game. We had a good game. We have shown that anything is possible in team sports when you put in the right ingredients. You also need to have some success, have the right strategy. It is a big moment, but we will continue with this mindset. We must become victory cannibals. Winning must be a drug. This should include everyone. This is something very important to us.
How do you measure the progress made since you started the role?
It is many things. It’s a club dynamic, a club culture. We must move forward, but for that, everyone must share the same desire, with a very high level of professionalism. Level of requirement. We are proud when we achieve this. I am also moved when I see the 50,000 people in the stadium. It’s a big win, but Toulouse is the most important game of the week now.
