The Los Angeles FC is the 32nd and last qualified for the Club World Cup. The Californian training took advantage of the exclusion of the Léon club (deprived of the competition due to the rules of FIFA on the multi-ownership) to invite itself to the party by winning a dam against the American club thanks to a goal from Denis Bouanga (2-1 AP).
This allows the club of Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris to join the Group D of this World Cup, with this Monday evening a necessarily particular duel against Chelsea, in Atlanta.
Olivier Giroud will find one of his former teams in the Premier League. Hugo Lloris will face an opponent whom he challenged for many years with Tottenham. And when the French goalkeeper appeared in front of the media before the meeting, he was asked at length about the news of the Spurs, who finally won a trophy this season, in this case the Europa League.
“I'm really delighted,
said Lloris about Tottenham's triumph. I am really happy for the club, for the people of the club, for the players. We ran after this trophy for many years and they finally got it and I think they deserve it. I hope they will have a little less weight on their shoulders for the future and I think it's also the time to capitalize on this success for spurs. Even if I am no longer a Spurs player, I am the news, the team and the results. »»
Lloris and the PostCoglou case
Hugo Lloris was also questioned about the dismissal of Angel Postcoglou in the wake of his European title. Was it surprised? “Yes, but nothing is surprising in football anymore, he said. I don't know what happened within the club, so it's really difficult for me to judge. If they made this decision, it is because they believe that there is another option that is better for the future of the club (Thomas Frank has been appointed to succeed him, editor's note). »»
“What Ange Postcoglou has done is simply remarkable, judge Lloris. He brought this Europa League trophy, he brought a lot of joy to the Spurs community, a lot of pride too, and we must all be grateful to him. »»
