One wonders where the LOSC is going. While they thought they had done a good job by enrolling no fewer than seven players during the winter transfer window, the Lille were caught up with the harsh reality of football. A team is not built with a sum of individualities and Lille, 15th, will have to show tremendous courage to stay in Ligue 1. Miraculated at the TFC (1-1) last week, the Nordists move Again this weekend, at Nancy. Current 17th with a point ahead of the first relegable, the Lorraine club will play even bigger at Marcel-Picot. Pablo Correa’s men did not get far from the feat at the Park (1-0 defeat) last Saturday, but they are counting on this match to stem a disturbing six-game winless (5d-1n) series. At the stop, will the Nancéein speak their pride against this direct competitor?
