Arrived this summer at the club, the Belgian side Thomas Meunier spoke on his new club during an interview with the newspaper theTeam. For him, LOSC is not respected enough in France. “I sometimes have the impression that the LOSC underestimates. Since Qatar bought PSG (in 2011, via Qatar Sports Investments), they were twice French champions (2011, 2021), so over the period, Lille is the best club in France after Paris and I do not have the impression that it is recognized for its progression. It's healthy, stable, it doesn't make waves, it's earth on earth and I like it. But because of that, he does not have the status he deserves, “ he launched.
Meunier proud to be in the top 8
LOSC is one of the sensations of this first phase of the league phase. The French club surprised the old continent by offering a place in the top 8. For Thomas Meunier, it was a great satisfaction to have managed to thwart the forecasts.
“If I have already felt this level of emotion in the European Cup?” Only once with Bruges, winning 3-1 in Istanbul against Besiktas, the day of the club's birthday, in front of 80,000 people (March 19, 2015 in the round of 16 C3). I found this feeling when we beat Atlético (3-1, October 23), Real (1-0, 2), Feyenoord (6-1, January 29). When you are favorite, contentment is not as intense. We were outsiders, people put us 16th-20s, even worse, and we finished Top 8 (7th). It's enjoyable. »»
