After a complicated start to the season with only one victory in four days of Ligue 1, Lille is emerging from an eventful summer. In the grip of significant financial difficulties, the reigning Mastiffs champions of France and engaged on the most prestigious of European stages had to manage at best a transfer market, which promised to be perilous, to keep the backbone of their workforce.
In addition, the northern club also saw the arrival of a new coach in the person of Jocelyn Gourvennec, succeeding Christophe Galtier. Lots of changes and a lot of expectations in a relatively delicate context. A situation that Olivier Létang, president of LOSC, wanted to address with a lot of lucidity and fair play in an interview with La Voix des Sports.
“Last year LOSC won 12 games by one goal. Twelve matches! There is nothing between winning by a goal and losing by a goal. In the elements we have in terms of data, because we follow everything, the LOSC should have finished fourth.
We outperformed, we overscored offensively and defensively we were very good. So we are very clear-headed: if we lose this collective strength, if we lose this state of mind, and rather than winning by a goal, we will lose by a goal.
Of these twelve games won by a goal difference, if we do nothing but a draw, that means two points less, and that we are not champions, that we are not in either European Cup."
Recognizing that the title of champion of France was therefore played out on details, the former CEO of Stade Rennais then asked the entire club for lucidity, solidarity and such a conquering spirit in order to continue to perform:
“If we think that we have become another club and that the players have become other players, we are going straight into the wall. We absolutely have to keep this state of mind, these values ??which are fundamental to us.
In Metz last year our opponents have a penalty, if they score it, what happens? This season, at Saint-Étienne, we have opportunities and we are not taking advantage of them. They have one, a set piece, and we take the goal. Last year the ball might have hit the bar. "
