The 57-year-old tactician has praised the way Les Merlus played on Wednesday to register a comfortable 2-0 win over FC Sochaux-Montbeliard at Stade http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Du-c11689 Moustoir
Following some below par performances in the Ligue 1 in recent weeks, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 returned to form in style with a home win against Sochaux. The win has pushed Le FCL to fourth in the league with 27 points on the table at the end of Week 17.
And coach, Christian Gourcuff is a happy man in town and has heaped praise on his players after their impressive performance last night. While talking to reporters, the Frenchman stated that 27 points after 17 games is a massive achievement and the club
is already getting closer to their objectives.
"With 27 points, we're getting closer to the total needed to stay up.”
Talking about Lorient’s recent form, the boss said that his side has put in some impressive performance in the Ligue 1 this season but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Les Merlus are in the top five and they can go even further if we look at
the way they have been playing lately.
“We have to remember where we were a few weeks ago, but that doesn't mean we won't have other ambitions, notably in terms of how we play as I think there's a lot of room for improvement.”
Talking about Wednesday’s match, Gourcuff said that it wasn’t a commanding performance from his side but they get the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done nonetheless, which is the most important point. The boss added that first half was good but Lorient didn’t create many chances
before the break.
“It's a match which wasn't perfect, but was one we dominated overall. In the first half, we created chances, but were too passive, especially in winning the ball back.”
Les Merlus improved after the interval and the coach is pleased with the way his side took control of the game. Sochaux had no chance on the pitch and Gourcuff has urged his players to continue playing like that.
“Afterwards, we improved in that respect, which gives our attacking side more of an impulse. We controlled the game throughout.”
