Lille: Gourvennec saw a “performance”

After two consecutive defeats, Lille went back to winning the field of Montpellier (1-0) this Saturday on the occasion of the 24th day of Ligue 1. Even if his team suffered for a good part of the match, relying on the parades of Léo Jardim, the northern coach Jocelyn Gourvennec is satisfied with the face displayed by the Mastiffs.

“It was important to get off to a good start after Paris. We had to meet the physical challenge, the duel but also play. We needed to find our colours. Jardim was decisive on several occasions because Montpellier created a lot of chances at home, reminded the technician at a press conference. Winning this evening gives us a breath of fresh air and allows us to move up the rankings. It was important to regain solidity and to have freshness. It’s a performance of win here.”

LOSC took the opportunity to temporarily climb to 7th place in the standings by overtaking their victim, 8th.
