Lille OSC manager, Rudi Garcia, satisfied with his side’s performance
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lille-OSC-c39800 managed to bag all three points against Toulouse FC last night and re-established their five points lead at the top of the league table. Les Dogues manager, Rudi Garcia, was pleased to see the efforts put in by his players on a very difficult pitch,
who managed a 2–0 win over a resilient http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751 outfit.
LOSC are en route to a Ligue 1 title after excruciating wait of almost six decades. The fans are eagerly waiting for their team to lift the French crown. After fighting out a 1–1 stalemate against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AJ-Auxerre-c38247 at Stade Abbe-Deschamps last week, Garcia’s side
put up a good show in front of their home crowd to cement their place at the top of the league table.
Garcia said, "We have always been in a hunter-type position, but this season, we are the hunted. We know that the pressure is on those who are below us. It becomes harder to catch those who lead, especially if we keep winning. There is a long way to go in
the league, and many points still to be earn.”
"On a pitch that became more and more difficult, I'm very satisfied with what we showed tonight. We weren't always clinical with our final ball and the second goal arrived a bit too late for my liking, but we were up against a solid Toulouse team,” the tactician
concluded.
Lille gloves man, Mickael Landreau, celebrated his 500th Ligue 1 appearance as he managed to claim a clean sheet. Landreau was joyous to see his side claim victory and showed no signs of ending their 13 match unbeaten run.
On the other hand, TFC were disappointed with the result, as they never really managed to threaten Lille’s back line. Les Pitchouns tactician, Alain Cassanova, has every right to blame his side for the loss; they failed to create any opportunity in front
of the goal. One man who really tried to prevent the home side from acquiring all three points was TFC’s gloves man, Matthieu Valverde. However, his classy performance was to no avail and the league leaders managed to add all three points to their tally.
Lille are looking to continue their good performances in the remaining season, as their dream to become French Champions is turning into reality. Les Dogues have not won a Ligue 1 title since their triumphant in 1954. However, Lille cannot afford any slip-ups
as the chasing pack is unlikely to give up on the hunt.
