LOSC, Gourvennec: “There is no difference between Lille and Nice” – Top Mercato.com

by

Lille coach Jocelyn Gourvennec bowed heavily against OGC Nice by Christophe Galtier, this Saturday (0-4).

“Obviously we missed the start… We wanted to attack hard for the reunion in front of our audience. To take two goals in five minutes is a very, very heavy handicap… There is a bit of irrationality in the scenario. It is very difficult because it is the reality of the match but at the same time there is not 4 goals difference between Lille and Nice. We have to tighten up very quickly because we limited the breakage last week by having 20 minutes of hole (3-3 Metz). (…) Seven goals (conceded in two L1 games) for a team which had taken only 23 last year, that’s too much. It is a very heavy sanction and we must apologize to our audience, we did not attend. I don’t want to throw it all away either. We should have come back to the score, we had some gaps but the players did not give up. It was still a bad afternoon because we had a lot of ambition and we were cold picked. We have to react, see you tomorrow (Sunday) to put things down cold. We must keep unity between us ” concluded Jocelyn Gourvennec.

The defending champion has yet to win a single L1 game in two days. LOSC will face AS Saint-Etienne on August 21 for the 3rd day.
