Following a laborious victory against Toulouse FC (1-2) this Saturday, the LOSC consolidates its position in the Ligue 1 lead peloton and expresses its ambition to win a qualification for the next Champions League. This performance, while precious, is in itself an exceptional success, according to the analysis of Tidiany Mbo, journalist and sports columnist. He pointed out that the Lille club was in line with its original goals, which consisted of a fight for the Top 4, and that it was important not to hide the team’s good European course, but to favour an established regularity in the championship.

Tidiany Mbo disagrees with some of his colleagues about the assessment of this situation, stressing the primacy of the result and the need to focus on obtaining points. Currently ranked fifth with 50 points, the LOSC is only three units from AS Monaco, a dolphin from Paris Saint-Germain, and demonstrates undeniable competitiveness. The journalist notes, however, that the style of play advocated by Bruno Genesio, who had seduced during his past experiences with Olympique Lyonnais and Stade Rennais, seems less distinctive and less dynamic with the LOSC.

In conclusion, Tidiany Mbo believes that the LOSC is currently in its right place in the rankings, a position that demonstrates a ability to control the game and achieve results, even with a less flamboyant style. He observed that the team was doing a solid job, resulting in a limited number of shots per half-time, but sufficient to maintain competitiveness and skill ambition for the higher level.
