Lille OSC's gloves man disappointed after losing to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montpellier-HSC-c39945
Ligue 1 leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lille-OSC-c39800, shot-stopper Mickael Landreau was disenchanted after his side’s 1-0 defeat to Montpellier HSC. Landreau’s side struggled to find their rhythm as they failed to threaten the home side, despite having ball possession for most part
of the game. Consequently, Lille OSC lost three precious points to cement their place at the top in the league table.
The 31-year-old gloves man said, “We are obviously disappointed, as we couldn't win here either. There was a lot of intensity, a lot of commitment and the pitch here was hard to play on. We could not develop our style of football”
“We did not come here to play for a draw. We came here to win, but the conditions here in Montpellier made it difficult for us. Now we have a quality side that awaits us at home next week, but we intend to continue on our merry way despite the small setback",
he concluded.
Montpellier managed to find the net in the dying minutes of the match, which ended Les Dogues 13 match unbeaten run in the Ligue 1. Despite the setback, LOSC are still the table toppers with two points clearing them from the second placed Stade Rennais.
Les Dogues' gloves man knows that his team must regain their focus for upcoming matches in Ligue 1, as his side are en route to a French crown after six decades.
Les Dogues manager, Rudi Garcia, was also disappointed with his side’s performance on the pitch. With 14 matches left to play in the season, Garcia’s side cannot afford any more setbacks as it could dent their hopes of lifting the Ligue 1 title. Garcia’s
men will face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 on coming Sunday at Stadium Lille-Metropole. He will be hoping to bag all three points in their upcoming fixture to cement their place atop the league table.
On the other hand, Montpellier were ecstatic after defeating the league leaders in front of their home crowd. MHSC has climbed up to the sixth spot in the league table after this win, trailing a UEFA Europa League spot by four points. La Paillade will face
FC Sochaux in their upcoming away encounter. MHSC will be hoping that they can claim good result in this fixture and improve their standings in the league table.
Les Dogues have been struggling to perform on the pitch in their recent matches. The Mastiffs will have to lift their game and claim good results in the coming weeks, as a win against Lyon will go a long way in redeeming their lost confidence.
