Usually very upset after a defeat of his team, Girard did not seem to find the strength to express anger Saturday night after the elimination in the Coupe de France Bastia (2-0, final 32nd). Worse, the Lille coach seemed primarily inhabited by abatement, almost lassitude, in view of the very worrying situation of the LOSC, plunged right in doubt after this new disillusionment in Furiani. “It’s a lot of disappointment, admitted Girard micro Eurosport . Apart from qualifying, we knew it would be difficult to carry out and end the championship and the League Cup and the Coupe de France. Much has been given in the first part. But it’s the content (that bothers me). And mistakes we do, that repeat and bec ome a bit haunting. “
flaws that jumped out at me again Saturday night. And primarily those of the Lille coach, anxious as often this season. “It was quite overpowering game. Not a Cup match at all in the intensity and commitment. We came Bastia against a team that took advantage of our shortcomings to score twice. This is quite disappointing. To do a little humor, I wonder if the boys did not want to remove extra weight without telling me. That is to say, to miss that game. We made mistakes and that’s disappointing, because I think the rest of the season will be built on results and not on results like this. “
early season objectives quietly forgotten, the former Liverpool coach admits that the goal now will be primarily not to sink. “It’s trying to snack. First, it was the match against Evian (Wednesday), which is a game in, very important for the total points. And then hang on, but we still see tonight that we are unable to score a goal. It was two to three situations, even one or one is offside, it is not put in the background. It’s a little disturbing. “For the main person, only the arrival of a striker can put Lille on track. “We know what we lack, we know what you need, I hope I will be heard by my leaders. We have to react quickly, because we have a January that will be very painful. “
There are some days, LOSC thought he got the backing of the Serbian striker Partizan Belgrade, Petar Skuletic. But Girard seems decidedly cursed this season. “We had to make a player, but that did not happen for various reasons. Partizan Belgrade turned gown at the last moment. “Since former top scorer of the team and offensive strategist, Salomon Kalou left Lille for Hertha Berlin, Girard desperately awaits a renowned striker join him. But by dint believe it, he would end almost lost patience. “For me, from the beginning, it’s very clear. When we lost Salomon (Kalou), it was replaced by a boy of experience, and this has not been done and it is sorely missed today. I think this is the position that is a priority for me today. It’s difficult, because the few players that are available are very expensive. This is not the club’s policy today. But then we will have to do something anyway. “For there, there is urgency.
