“You have to be smarter” / Ligue 1 / J14 / Monaco-Lille (2-2) / SOFOOT.com
To concede a draw by leading 0-2 then finishing eleven against ten the last fifteen minutes, that necessarily makes you bitter.
While Lille dropped two new points on the lawn of Monaco this Friday at the opening of the 14th day, Jocelyn Gourvennec underlined the mental crisis of his team in the post-match conference. “Tonight, it’s a question of concentration, you have to be smarter, lamented the coach of the Mastiffs. Have more maturity, less openness at the end of the game, show more mischief. It’s lucidity ” .
A lack of lucidity but also of physical preparation according to Gourvennec, frustrated when his team has already dropped eight points in the last quarter of an hour over the first fourteen days, more than any Ligue 1 team. “The preparation for the match was very chaotic, he continued. On a recovered players exhausted (Burak Yılmaz), tired (Timothy Weah, Jonathan David, Angel Gomes) or injured with their selection (Renato Sanches). On a forfeit two days before the match (Gabriel Gudmundsson). Three players arrived at 6 p.m. Thursday to catch the plane to Nice. They are not connected with us. Sick, Reinildo could not play this evening because he was ill. Taking into account all these elements, we presented something very coherent ” .
