The LOSC finds its audience in front of the AJ Auxerre : Hamadi Kebé, the rising star
The LOSC, after two trips to Lyon and Toulouse, will finally find its audience this Sunday during a crucial match on the thirtieth day of Ligue 1. The occasion for Le Petit Prono to continue its series of prognosis, and for Lille fans to regain the atmosphere of the Décathlon Arena – Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Results of the day and issues
The day was marked by several important results. The Monaco and the Strasbourg RC neutralised (0-0), while the Marseille Olympian inflicted an overwhelming defeat on Montpellier (5-1), propelling Paulo Fonseca’s men comfortably to the position of red lantern.
The duel against the AJ Auxerre
The LOSC (6th, 50 points) will host the AJ Auxerre (11th, 38 points) in a match that resulted in a draw (0-0) on January 10. The AJ Auxerre, accustomed to surprise some big stables this season, is an interesting challenge for the Dogues.
Hamadi Kebé, a Lille revelation
At only 17, Hamadi Kebé is already one of the top hopes of the LOSC training centre. Originally trained as a midfielder, the Franco-Malian was repositioned as a central defender, a choice that is proving to be paying off thanks to his strength, his reading of the game and his ability to project forward. Captain several times in the U17, he impresses the recruiters.
The interest of Roma and the Lille reflection
La Roma’s sports management, led by RC Lens’ former sports director Florent Ghisolfi, has supervised Kebé on several occasions and has validated his profile, seduced by his maturity and impact on the field. If no official offer has been made, the Italian club keeps an eye on the young Dogue, who is now sometimes training with the U19 and could play the U17 World Cup with Mali this summer. Faced with this growing interest, the LOSC will not let its promising player go. Lille leaders are actively thinking about proposing a first professional contract, with a promise of integration into the pro group in the near future, while taking into account the progress of young players like Ayyoub Bouaddi.
