The walls of the Lille locker room shook at half-time of the match against Bratislava…
Already at fault, three weeks earlier, during its trip to the Faroe Islands, Losc almost followed up with a new poor performance, Thursday, against Slovan Bratislava. Apathetic, Lille found themselves trailing 1-0 at the break before reversing the trend in the second half to finally win 2-1.
And according to the young goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, the tone rose in the locker room at the break, Paulo Fonseca letting out a resounding rant. “We were shaken at half-time because it was not normal to produce such a copy for a club like LOSC, said the northern goalkeeper. We showed that we had character and the reaction was, I think, very good. He told us that it was not possible to continue like this, and that if we wanted to be ambitious in this competition, we had to play hard. That it is not because we play teams that are not from Ligue 1 that they are less strong, or that there is less adversity. It’s up to us to have the same state of mind as in the second half, and we can be ambitious. It was just a small hole, like some teams can have. »
