Ligue 1: The debrief of Losc-OM (2-0) -

20 Minutes

  • Jonathan David scored twice at the end of the match to give Losc a victory over OM.

  • Arrived this summer in the North, the Canadian took a long time to take its marks.

  • But since early January, the 21-year-old has regained confidence.

The Savior's costume sticks perfectly to her skin.

When it is time to draw up the highlights of the Lille season, there is no doubt that the double scored by Jonathan David on Wednesday against OM will be in a good place.

By scoring two goals in the last five minutes, the Lille striker allowed his club to remain leaders in a very close title race with PSG and Lyon.

“It's my most important double of the season.

But if I notice a double at the last minute in the next match, I'll say the same thing, ”smiles the Canadian international in a relaxed and nonchalant style that makes Christophe Galtier smile.

“He is a boy who is very atypical in his behavior, often relaxed, very relaxed and even sometimes too relaxed.

He's like that, that's his personality.

He has no pressure, he is atypical, but he is opportunistic.

And in 2021, he scores important goals but he was also recruited for that, ”recalls the Lille coach.

A failed start to the season

And for good reason, the northern club did not hesitate to break the bank to go get him at the Belgian club in Ghent and attract him to the North.

A transfer to 30 million euros, historic record of the club which has long been talked about.

Lacking pace, overweight, lack of confidence, the Canadian international took several months to make his mark.

“It took me a while to adapt to discover Ligue 1, get to know my teammates.

I had lost my form a bit because I hadn't played a lot because of the Covid (which interrupted the Belgian championship in March).

It was not easy at first, ”admits the 21-year-old.

Already decisive at the end of the match against Reims

More than his first goal scored in November against Lorient, David's real click at Losc dates from January 17, 2021. Against Reims, the striker had already released Losc from a bad deal on the wire by scoring the goal of the victory at the last minute (2-1).

Since then, the Canadian has not stopped.

Against Marseille, he scored his 8th and 9th goals of the season.

After his winning goal against Reims, David put it back against OM and casually reported four points at the end of the match for his club.

Enough to deserve his status as savior of the Lille homeland.
