  • LOSC won 1-0 on the Stade Rennais lawn this Sunday during the 21st day of Ligue 1.

  • Christophe Galtier's men return to the level of PSG at the top of the championship.

  • Coach Christophe Galtier believes that his team is not playing for the title but "looking behind".

At Roazhon Park.

"Are you looking ahead?

Do you watch PSG?

"The question will be asked in every game as long as his team continues to hang on.

On Sunday, Christophe Galtier's LOSC came back to the level of the Parisian ogre by winning on the lawn of the Stade Rennais.

To this question, the Dogues coach answered with a pirouette.

"I'm looking at the side," slipped Galtier with a smile.

Always co-leader of Ligue 1, his team delivered a very solid game to win 1-0 against a direct competitor.

If Jonathan David has scored again, it is above all the points gap that separates him from his opponent of the day that the LOSC coach wanted to watch.

At the final whistle, he let out a huge cry that spoke volumes about his relief.

“At the start of the season, I felt that Rennes at the start of the season was a direct competitor.

To win it in direct confrontations is very important.

It is an opponent that we put at 9 points.

This mattress is important, ”said the coach in front of the press.

His midfielder Benjamin André shot in the same direction.

“It's a turning point but we are making our championship.

To be champion, I do not think it is possible.

Paris is above everyone ”dropped the former Rennais at the end of the meeting.

The goal of the club is not hidden.

LOSC wants to regain the Champions League, which it had too quickly left last season.

Last year, he failed by finishing just behind Rennes when the championship was stopped.

"I don't think we are a competitor in Paris"

On Sunday, the victory won looked like revenge.

It seemed to have the same taste as that acquired against Montpellier.

Because by distancing its adversary, the LOSC operates a skimming operation.

“It's often like that.

The year we finished second, it was like that.

I prefer to look behind, ”summarizes Galtier.

He also refuses to be compared to Paris, an easy winner against Montpellier on Saturday.

“I don't think we are a competitor in Paris.

But we will fight, hang on.

We will not let go ”.

Sunday, his men delivered a very solid performance to dispose of Bretons who had been undefeated for a month and a half.

Without being "impressed" by the Lille device, Julien Stéphan's players recognized the seriousness of their opponent.

Like the Fonte-Botman duo, the LOSC defensive block has seriously hampered Rennes' offensive tendencies.

“I think she's armed to stay up there for a very long time.

There is maturity, dynamism, ”says Julien Stéphan.

LOSC will not replay a match against a direct competitor before March and the reception of Marseille before a trip to Monaco.

Until then, his team will have to maintain the gap by having less powerful displacement.

But no less dangerous.

“We will have to string together more victories.

It may be played in the last six or seven games.

There will be poor performances, ”warns Christophe Galtier.
