FOOTBALL coach LOSC, wrong board in the league, hopes his team will qualify for the sixteenths final of the Europa League on Thursday night against the alllemand club …
This is the final struggle. For his last Europa League match, Lille, third in its group, must beat the Germans Wolfsburg (2) this home Thursday to qualify sixteenth finals. Any other result will mean elimination. Wrong board in Ligue 1 (15th), unable to win a game for two and a half months in all competitions, Lille does not start favorites against the Germans, second behind the untouchable Bundesliga Bayern Munich. But René Girard, the Lille coach, believes the move is playable.
How the fifteenth Ligue 1 can he beat the second Bundesliga?
It’s true we did a very winded path in this group. But this game will be a small final. We will strive to make the best possible result. When we laugh, we always said we hope to crush the 1-0. To go further, we need to beat them. This is a very good team that runs well, which glued to the leaders in Germany. But we’re here and we will dearly sell our skin. And I would say that today, we have not much to lose.
Does your team can rely on its ability to surpass against large?
Hopefully. Wolfsburg is one of the big European teams. On the way, we had a lot of luck (1-1) even though Nolan Roux had a ball 0-2. It is a team capable of playing, waiting, speed. We’ll have raises our level of play to make a full and strong game. I hope one day that end up turning. It has not been spared from the beginning of the season. Much has upset us. Before the game in Krasnodar, were hanged carrots were cooked but Wolfsburg lost at home against Everton (0-2) Today, we have a small chance. This is a very important match.
Given the energy you take the Europa League since the start of the season, elimination would it be a blessing in disguise?
If I answer yes, it means that we are idiots (sic) because we could drop before the last day. It was hanging in trouble and we still have a little hope. Today, time is not to ask questions. There is a qualifying or elimination at the end. There are no calculations to do. We had to play 25, 26 games since July. It is not now that will ease off.
The match against Toulouse on Sunday in Ligue 1 is it more than that against Wolfsburg?
If it’s an important game. The championship is our priority. But it must be very strong to say that we will win both games. It must be very strong to say that we will play that Sunday. Today, we are not in a position to sport and mental calculation. There was first Wolfsburg and Toulouse on Sunday. You can not prepare for the match against Toulouse dropping that of Wolfsburg. There was not a large workforce, it will play with the best team on Thursday.
