Claude Puel's reaction to the match:
"Ce match, on doit le gagner, Lyon n'a eu aucune occasion et ils nous font mal en cinq minutes sur deux coup francs en fin de match. Lyon est allé chercher cette victoire alors que je les ai trouvés... poussifs. Mais on fait beaucoup de cadeaux à nos adversaires ces derniers temps alors qu'on a la maîtrise et tout ce qu'il faut pour gagner des matches. C'est dommage et préjudiciable pour la suite du Championnat. En ce moment, le foot est assez dur avec nous, on est en manque de réussite et il va falloir remédier à cela. On a eu des situations profitables pour accentuer le score et on prend deux buts sur deux coup francs qui n'ont pas lieu d'être. Il faut se servir de ces leçons pour grandir et mieux gérer les fins de match. Manchester sera un autre match. Le but, c'est d'être objectif dans ce qu'on fait. Je suis satisfait dans le contenu mais ça tourne vraiment mal pour nous."

It will be interesting to see how LOSC will play in this match after that tough mental defeat against Manchester United.

"LILLE contre attaque"
"Au cours d'une conférence de presse tenue ce matin à Luchin, Michel Seydoux et Xavier Thuilot ont confirmé la pose de réclamation auprès de l'UEFA.
Sur le coup franc, les images montrent clairement que Scholes demande à ce que le mur soit à distance.
Sur les incidents, le président a notamment indiqué que la bousculade avait été provoquée par des hooligans, les images le démontrant et que 1500 places "tampon" étaient prévues au cas où.
Par ailleurs, de la contrefaçon de billets a été avérée et ceux-ci ne concernent que la tribune réservée aux supporters de Manchester qui n'a pas respecté la procédure UEFA en délivrant ses billets plus d'un mois à l'avance.

L'examen des incidents et les sanctions éventuelles seront au menu de l'UEFA le 22 mars prochain.
Ce vendredi, l'UEFA se réunit pour examiner la seule réclamation relative à l'erreur technique sur le coup franc."

"Claude Puel (Entraîneur Général du LOSC)
Si on regarde la physionomie du match, je pense que nous aurions pu obtenir le nul. C’est comme ça. Nous étions en dedans en première période, c’était dur de pousser Le Mans dans ses derniers retranchements. Cette période fut poussive, sans rythme, avec peu de qualité de jeu. Nous étions trop attentistes, en ne parvenant pas à réaliser la même entame que contre Troyes, en manquant de dynamisme. Nous avons réalisé ensuite une meilleure seconde mi-temps, dommage de ne pas avoir su ouvrir la marque. L’ouverture du score mancelle nous fait très mal. Le deuxième but est assez anecdotique.
Quand on se crée des occasions, il faut les mettre au fond. Mais nous avons besoin de continuer à nous en procurer. Il faut retrouver la sérénité nécessaire devant le but. C’est une défaite qui fait mal alors que débute une période de quinze jours sans match. Nous aurions aimé pouvoir enchaîner pour vite passer à autre chose."

Lille to appeal fine
Lille have announced that they are to appeal the fine they received for incidents during the first leg of their UEFA Champions League tie against Manchester United in February.

The Lille side temporarily left the pitch in protest during the game after they had a goal controversially ruled out before Ryan Giggs put Manchester United ahead with a quick free-kick that the French team believe should not have been allowed to stand.

Overcrowding in the away end - a result of fans entering the stadium with forged tickets - also led to English fans climbing over fencing to escape the crush.

The club were fined €60,000 (£40,000) for "breaches of security provisions and lack of proper organisation, as well as for the improper conduct of the team after the goal in the English side's 1-0 victory".

However, a statement on Lille's official website revealed the club are to attempt to clear their name.

"We have decided to appeal against the Uefa ruling to protect our interests in the present and in the future," it said.

"We'll try to convince the appeal commission that we carried out our duties perfectly and fully."
Click (http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=458813&CPID=5&clid=1&lid=&title=Lille+to+appeal+fine&channel=&)

This is a waste of UEFA's time and Lille's penalty should be doubled on appeal. They dropped the ball with regards to security and should be held accountable. I don't understand where they get off saying otherwise... :confused:

"Je ne reviendrais pas sur l’exclusion d’Emerson. C’est comme ça, c’est un fait de jeu. Nous savions au départ que c’était un match charnière, je regrette l’issue que celui-ce a pris. Ce soir on a eu beaucoup de vent contraire. Avec un joueur en moins d’entrée, un penalty encaissé et deux buts pris sur coups de pied arrêtés, l’OM a plus profité de nos cafouillages qu’il ne s’est créé de véritables occasions. C’est dur pour mon équipe et mes joueurs. J’espère néanmoins que nous garderons un bon état d’esprit jusqu’au bout. Dans ce genre de matchs, il faut plus d’arguments techniques pour vraiment mettre en danger notre adversaire. Mais encore une fois, la tournure a été contraire. Mathématiquement, tout n’est pas encore terminé. Concentrons nous et focalisons nous vite sur Sochaux désormais. Ce qui est sûr, c’est que ce soir une équipe est propulsée vers le haut, alors que l’autre équipe, en l’occurrence la notre, stagne au classement."

SAINT-ETIENNE / STATHIS TAVLARIDIS :
« Le public m’aimera très vite »
vendredi 15 juin 2007 - 13 h 25 - Ivan BONET

Lundi, l’AS Saint-Etienne a présenté sa première recrue : Efstathios Tavlaridis. Le défenseur grec arrive de Lille et s’est engagé avec les Verts pour les trois prochaines saisons.

Roland Romeyer le surnomme le Roc. A voir Efstathios Stathis Tavlaridis débarquer au Club 42 lundi après-midi, on ne pouvait que donner raison au co-président des Verts. Le défenseur grec, qui a passé trois ans et demi à Lille, est impressionnant. Son mètre quatre-vingt-six devrait en imposer en défense centrale. Pour recruter Tavlaridis, les Verts ont payé un peu plus de deux millions d’euros à Lille, où le joueur s’était révélé après plusieurs saisons passées en Angleterre (Arsenal, Portsmouth). A 27 ans, Tavalaridis rejoint ses anciens compagnons Dernis et Landrin, mais aussi Laurent Roussey, qu’il a connu dans le Nord. En anglais, il livre ses premières impressions en vert.

Stathis Tavlaridis, pourquoi avez-vous choisi de signer en faveur de l’A.S.Saint-Etienne ?
J’avais plusieurs offres de clubs européens où j’aurais pu gagner plus d’argent qu’à Saint-Etienne. Mais j’ai opté pour les Verts car c’est un grand club. L’un des deux ou trois plus grands de France. Quand j’étais jeune, en Grèce, on ne connaissait que l’A.S.S.E et Marseille. Quand mon agent m’a parlé de l’intérêt stéphanois, j’ai tout de suite pensé aux 35 000 spectateurs de Geoffroy-Guichard.

Pourquoi ?
J’avais un super feeling quand je venais avec Lille. J’imagine ce que ça doit être d’avoir ce public en sa faveur. Ça doit être impressionnant. Ce public me rappelle ce que j’ai connu en Angleterre.

Avez-vous un message à transmettre aux supporters ?
Je vais tout donner sur le terrain. Je joue avec mon cœur ! Je suis certain que le public m’aimera très vite. Comme celui de Lille.

Quitter Lille pour Saint-Etienne, est-ce une progression ?
Oui. Je sais ce que représente ce club. Pour moi, l’A.S.S.E est un animal qui dort. Je veux être là quand il se réveillera. J’ai connu la Coupe d’Europe avec le LOSC. Je savais en signant ici qu’on n’y participerait pas. Mais je veux jouer la Ligue des champions avec les Verts durant les trois ans de mon contrat. J’ai beaucoup d’ambition.

La présence de Laurent Roussey a-t-elle pesé dans votre choix ?
Beaucoup. C’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles j’ai choisi de venir à Saint-Etienne. J’ai connu Laurent à Lille. Je ne l’ai jamais oublié. C’est un très bon coach et une personne que j’aime beaucoup. Je le respecte énormément.

Est-il vraiment différent de Claude Puel ?
Oui. Mais chaque coach a sa personnalité et son caractère. Je n’ai jamais eu le moindre problème avec Claude Puel. Je respecte mes coachs. Je suis un professionnel. Quand Puel me mettait sur le banc, je ne disais rien et je continuais à travailler.

Avez-vous appelé Landrin et Dernis, vos anciens coéquipiers à Lille ?
Non. Ce n’était pas la peine. Je savais ce que je voulais faire. Je voulais quitter Lille et signer à Saint-Etienne. Christophe et Geoffrey sont de bons gars. Je suis heureux de les retrouver ici.

Savez-vous avec qui vous serez associé en défense centrale ?
Non. Je n’ai pas posé la question. Moi, je viens pour jouer et être titulaire. Je vais me battre chaque jour.

A 27 ans, pensez-vous encore à la sélection grecque ?
Bien sûr. Mais chaque sélectionneur fait des choix. Il faut les respecter.

Odemwingie is interested in Naples:

Lille : Naples sur Odemwingie ?
Ignazio GENUARDI - mardi 19 juin 2007 - 17h06

L'attaquant nigérian, Peter Odemwingie (Lille), intéresserait Naples.

A en croire certains médias italiens, Naples songerait à Peter Odemwingie (Lille). En quête d'un attaquant supplémentaire, les Transalpins se seraient récemment renseignés sur les conditions de l'international nigérian. Les Napolitains sont intéressés mais ils ne devraient pas être en mesure de soutenir la comparaison du Spartak Moscou et du Shakhtar Donetsk. Le LOSC espère récupérer plus de dix millions d'un éventuel transfert.

Par ailleurs, les Lillois suivet toujours Mohamed Tchité (Anderlecht). André-Pierre Gignac (Lorient) est une autre alternative.

Chalmé currently can't leave Lille:

Lille : Chalmé bloqué
Rédaction Football365 - vendredi 22 juin 2007 - 19h47

Matthieu Chalmé ne sait toujours pas de quoi sera fait son avenir. Plusieurs clubs français, dont Marseille et Paris, se sont renseignés mais le LOSC se montre gourmand pour lâcher son arrière droit.

Avec la signature de Franck Béria (24 ans, Metz), Lille se retrouve avec trois arrières droits de métier dans son effectif. Les Nordistes pourraient laisser filer Matthieu Chalmé (26 ans) ou Stéphane Lichtsteiner (23 ans) pour ménager les susceptibilités. Le premier nourrit toujours des envies d'ailleurs mais la direction lilloise ne fait rien pour lui faciliter la tâche. « Il ne me reste plus qu'une année de contrat mais Lille demande une indemnité de transfert trop importante pour de nombreuses équipes, explique Matthieu Chalmé. Pour l'instant, la situation est bloquée. Je m'apprête à reprendre l'entraînement avec le LOSC. » Paris, Lens et Marseille sont toujours sur le coup mais les offres concrètes se font toujours attendre. « Ca ne reste que des prises de renseignements. Ce sont des clubs intéressants mais je ne suis pas maître de mon destin. Je ne le prends pas mal mais je n'ai pas simplement le choix. Il y a également des pistes à l'étranger mais je garde une préférence pour la France. On verra. Je commence à avoir l'habitude. C'était pareil la saison passée. »

russian football sites are informing that spartak is ready to buy him for 11 million euros and he's not against it - he said that spartak was his favourite team in the late '90-s , YES :D
he grew up in russia so he won't need time for acclimatisation
Do you mean Odemwingie?Supposely, he is even half-russian.

"Toulouse claims that they have signed André-Pierre Gignac. Toulouse’s chairman, Olivier Sadran is now confirming that Gignac has signed a four year contract with Toulouse. “It is a settled case. Our administrative director was in Lorient on Monday. Lorient signed the last papers. Gignac has signed a four-year contract. We have followed the rules” (Sadran). Lille already said they struck a deal with Gignac with a deal around 4.5 million €. “I am sure of one thing, we had an agreement both with the player and FC Lorient” (Michel Seydoux, LOSC chairman). Sky Sports says that the Gignac transfer will be investigated by the juridicial committee of Ligue 1. According to Seydoux, Lille has experienced transfer disputes like this in the past with Abidal and Tavlaridis. This is an interesting transfer battle between Toulouse and Lille. I am not sure how legitimate Toulouse’s deal with Gignac is. We will just have to see how it turns out."

Yeah but i guess the beginnings are always hard with a team where some key players left!
Moreover the heat was high so phycially it's hard to practise any sport! I like to run 10-15km and actually in France when i'm running it's like my body is on fire! :eek:

I personally cannot stand any hot weather. It is so hard for me to exercise in the heat. I love cold weather.

Claude Puel (Entraîneur Général du LOSC)
« C’est un premier match difficile face à un adversaire qui vient pour jouer en contre, bien en place de bout en bout. C’était également difficile de dynamiser le jeu quand les coups de sifflet de l’arbitre sont intempestifs. Il est également dommage de ne pas avoir pu faire des changements offensifs au moment où nous en avions besoin. Bref, nous avons manqué de rythme et certainement de fraîcheur devant, tout ce qui nous aurait permis de faire la décision. C’est bien sûr regrettable mais les joueurs ont tout donné. Certaines occasions auraient pourtant mérité d’aller au bout. Le point positif, c’est que nous n’avons pas concédé de but.
En première période, nous avons eu du mal à nous lâcher. C’était compliqué face à une équipe recroquevillée. Dès la récupération, ils parvenaient à se projeter très vite vers l’avant. Nous étions donc entre deux chaises. En seconde période, nous avons laissé plus d’espace à notre adversaire, mais nous avons eu des opportunités plus intéressantes aussi. Il nous a manqué de la lucidité dans le dernier geste pour pouvoir faire la différence. Nous savons que dans ce genre de match, il faut pouvoir débloquer les situations. Si Nico (Nicolas Fauvergue) marque d’entrée, la physionomie du match s’en trouve complètement bouleversée… »

I have spent a lot of time researching and thinking about Lille's objective this season. I have come to the conclusion that the LOSC management has decided to rebuild the squad using young players. Les Dogues lost several important players during the recent mercato including Bodmer, Odemwingie, Keita, Gygax, and Tavlaridis. In total the club lost 13 players, and only recruited 4 (Béria, Maric, Tahirovic, Yanes). Clearly, the new players cannot replace the ones we lost, but the management feels a couple of them can. The club received a lot of transfer money, but didn't spend it on any key signings. Instead, Les Lillois have invested on developing young talent. I personally don't like the direction the club is going. Developing youth takes time. The management should have just signed notable or already established players.

Butterfly

15-08-2007, 03:23 PM

Indeed it was a mistake to sell Keita and Bodmer for 24M€ without recruiting at least good players to replace them! With less than 24M€ could have bought really good players...
Anyway, i think Puel will always be able to do good things with what he's got!

This next game against Sochaux will be a hard one but it will be a good test for Lille & Puel.

Allez Lille :)

Butterfly, don't take it personally. I think zeratul is heating things up for your upcoming match :D . Kluivert has had a good career, but I don't know how well he will play for Lille. He is getting old, 31 now. Last season with Ajax he only scored 3 goals in 16 appearances. Yuck. I think even Odemwingie scored more goals than him last season :p .

On espère que Claude Puel saura tirer parti de ce grand talent malheureusement ternie par un mental et une hygiène de vie oeu en conformité avec celle que devrait avoir un sportif de haut niveau.

Not a good move for Lille, really. I’m not sure why Seydoux enjoys feeding Lyon with talent. He wants to challenge Olympique Lyonnais for the Hexagoal by the year 2012. How is that possible when he keeps increasing the gap between Lyon and the rest of the league?

It is really tough to say. To me, it comes down to money. With Aulas, 14 million euros for Makoun is probably another piece to the puzzle for the CL. With Seydoux, he knows that 14 million euros will probably get him 3 or 4 decent players in the french leagues.

deathcab

18-06-2008, 10:20 AM

Claude Puel is a great manager, he'll manage without Makoun. I've actually liked Makoun's play since three or so seasons ago, but I was disappointed in him this Cup of Nations. In the opening match, iirc, Cameroon were awful, Makoun was awful, Pfister subbed him off and later in the game (they had not got better in the meanwhile) he was having jokes and was in laughter on the bench. I mean, please, do you even care?

Nevertheless, no player is bigger than a NT or a club and Lille got decent bucks for him. With the new stadium and all, success on the pitch will be hard to sustain (lack of funds). The best that could happen is to sustaining the stability which Claude Puel can achieve.

Seems like a few seasons of mid-table obscurity.

What would really be disappinting though is if the fans would stay home. Really hope that the fans stick by the team (go to matches).

Lyon seem to be the only ambitious club in France, let's hope Bordeaux can buy some decent players too

Really?! I didn't know that:eek: He's a really good player he could easily break in into for example Arsenal. He was tipped to become the next Makélélé and he was also the captain of the France U-21 team. But he made a bad move to Villareal for the season 07-08 he didn't get so much playing time there. So in january 08 he was loaned out to Lille and in the summer of 08 Lille bought him.

Summary: A good buy;)

I haven't but it would be a stupid move for him imo, Lille have a very ambitious team with a good manager and can still claim a CL spot, why would he join a team that can only challenge for the 7th or 8th place? No offense to Wigan, you have a good team but I think Mavuba would be better off staying at Lille for at least one more season.

btw, how is Nzogbia doing?

Quite well. Great buy for us all in all.

Scored a fantastic goal against Sunderland that he made himself (http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/2217289//)(go to 2:51), but he got injured after this Hull player just clobbered him and so against Everton he was pretty quiet and didn't feature against Arsenal.

Very quick and skillful and finally gives us some balance down the left. Our team was sort of destroyed in Jan so we have had to rebuild mid season and have been scraping by.

I also like him because he does lots of good defensive work like Valencia in addition to attacking.

We aren't in the Champions League (yet!) but still, compared to the last two years we have made fantastic progress this season and we have an outside shot of Europa League.

ALSO: Here is my post about the Mavuba story. (http://www.fbtz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1451290&postcount=241)
