- LOSC (@losclive) February 1, 2020What to take away from the crisis born after the ugly road trip among Epinal fans on Wednesday? "I was going to say something stupid. Better not. In these periods, humor is never very… ”, first hesitated to answer the Dogues' coach, without finishing his sentence. Then he gave his opinion on the matter. “When there is no result, there is anger, frustration, questioning, it's normal. But I did not feel a crisis in the preparation of this match in Strasbourg. And if we were in crisis, it is not a victory that will allow us to get out of it. It will automatically take a series. "
But why so much nervousness?
It could start against Rennes on Tuesday. On condition, perhaps, of no longer playing part-time. In Alsace, Mike Maignan's partners initially seemed completely beside their pumps. The prize goes to Renato Sanches, who offered the opening of the score to Thomasson (12th) on a slide in front of his own surface. But the Portuguese was not alone in this galley.
During these first forty-five minutes, the people of Lille seemed above all very nervous. They challenged all the arbitral decisions and multiplied the limiting gestures. Like Rémy, guilty of a big stroller of frustration on Simakan (24th), or Zeki Çelik, not very far from expulsion on this virile intervention against Liénard (41st).
The words of José Fonte
Behaviors that have not escaped their trainer. “Do not confuse putting intensity and being excited. When you are, you make a lot of technical mistakes. I saw a lot of unusual during the first 25 minutes and at the end of the match too, when we were excited to hold this result ", commented Christophe Galtier admitting that he had waited impatiently for the break to" speak , change, clarify certain things ”.
He obviously succeeded as his Losc dominated his subject after the rest. Unless it was José Fonte's words that were decisive? The northern captain spoke in an improvised circle with his teammates in the corridor of the Meinau. "He tried to re-mobilize the team," explains Renato Sanches. He told us that we have to win and that we are going to win because we have a good team. "
"It is at the end of next week that we will know if we are better"
The people of Lille have proven it. More inspired in their choices, sharper, less complaining, they completely stifled Racing. Before going to prevail on two set kicks, a corner quickly played and concludes by Gabril Silva (65th), and this penalty transformed by Osimhen (79th).
"It is good to have won, it was important, but it is at the end of next week that we will know if we are better", concludes Christophe Galtier. After six more points, Losc may have finally come out of the crisis.
