We all know that in football, unlike other sports, nothing is ever won in advance, even when, on paper, your team seems unbeatable. Ask, for example, the Parisians of PSG what they thought, a year ago, of the title won by Lille’s Christophe Galtier. With an 18-point lead one day before the coronation, 19 wins and just two draws (Hettange and Le Theux), Jérémy Lauratet’s partners will have had the straightest and brightest of seasons.

Eloquent figures
“We made people jealous, so we were expected everywhere, says Julien François, the coach. Also these are cup matches that we had to play every Sunday. And despite our domination nothing was easy because nothing was given to us. To fully appreciate the journey of the Lusitanians, it suffices to call up the figures. They talk to themselves. One game from the final whistle, Lucas Pignatone and his comrades have 59 points out of a possible 63 for 21 games. They scored 96 goals, conceding only 10! And the cards were numerous: 8-0 in front of Sedan / Torcy, 7-0 against Veymerange, 7 again against Tournes / Renwez. The Val de l’Orne will have taken 6, Villers-Semeuse 4 like Tournes on the return or Sedan and Yutz will have won the prize with a 0-10 then a 7-0… On arrival, the USTL will have signed 13 ” clean sheets”. Another record.

A cohesive group
“Everyone played the game. The players who arrived from N3 set the tone, but the amalgam was very quickly made and the group quickly became coherent, underlines Julien François who praises the humility and the work of a whole collective that took ownership of the project: joining the National 3 in three years. We weren’t fall champions because we were three games behind. But the winter preparation was optimal thanks to everyone. “And the coach, who associates his assistant with success, and again Tanel Touir, the goalkeeper coach, Marion Reinhart, the physiotherapist, or Carlos Da Silva, the steward, salutes the state of mind of the players who went strengthen the B team in its quest for accession to Regional 2. “Young players have revealed themselves, continues the ex-Messin, such as ex-Thionvillois Mathéo Steiger, 18-year-old defender or striker Nicolas Caloiero (21 years), examples that validate our training project. A project also given credibility by the U16/17s on their way to joining the national level.
Yes, Thionville Lusitanos won the first leg of his raise bet. And we are now expecting the Lusitanians on the National level in a year. After a new season in paradise?
