The president of LOSC has it bad. Beaten on the wire in Lorient (2-1), yet reduced to 10, this Sunday on behalf of the 9th day of Ligue 1, the Mastiffs have again lost precious points in the race for Europe, confirming in passing their complicated start to the season in France. Present in the mixed zone in the corridors of Moustoir after the game, Olivier Létang gave a little rant, which will aim to serve as an electric shock to Paulo Fonseca’s troops as soon as possible. “I would like to congratulate the people of Lorient, who played with their qualities, a lot of heart and a lot of energy”he first pointed out, in remarks reported by RMC Sportbefore venting his anger.
“What we did is inexcusable. We are at 13 points in nine games, everyone has to realize the situation. Winning has to be in our DNA, we can’t accept something like that. When you are 11 against 10, you come back to the score and you manage to lose the match (…) it is inexcusable. We will explain ourselves internally. Inevitably, we need a reaction very quickly, from the next match which is a derby (against Lens, next Sunday). If we play like today, it’s not even worth playing the derby. We need to be much more competitive. I don’t want to talk about malpractice. Winning is a mentality. It’s a daily culture to win everything you do. You have to look for other virtues. You have to have an overall reaction. We cannot be satisfied with where we are. We all need to wake up. »
