Saint-Etienne – Lille live commentary

A match between two strongholds of French football, this match between AS Saint-Etienne and LOSC marks the return to business of Ligue 1 after an international break that was lively all over the world. A match that the Greens, whose counter is still blocked, are obviously approaching as outsiders.“We must not delay on the way, recognized Olivier Dall’Oglio. We know very well that the calendar is not very favorable either, with big teams. After Monaco, we still saw a state of mind. We are more disappointed about the last two matches, which were less successful. Now, we have to stay very positive about the situation. Lille is a great team, very well organized, who have put in some very good performances. Against PSG, things could swing in their favor.

If the promoted team will be decimated, LOSC also has a full infirmary. But the former Lyon player Bruno Genesio, who will still be able to count on André Gomes, hopes for a reaction from his players after a first defeat conceded against PSG before the break (1-3). “When returning from an international break, we know that these are always the most difficult matches to negotiate. Especially against a team that hasn’t won, that hasn’t scored… If we think it will be easy, we’re heading for a big disappointment. We have to be ready very quickly to play a cup match, away, in a difficult context. They’re a team that we have to respect and go there with a lot of humility.” The message got through.
