While Ounas’ direct impact on the match may not have been decisive, his presence proved invaluable for the young Lille side, who secured a commanding 3-0 victory.
Despite not completing a full match since the fixture against Toulouse on February 25, Ounas’ decision to participate with the reserve team reflects his dedication to gradually building up his physical conditioning.
Commenting on Ounas’ inclusion in the reserve team, Stéphane Pichot, the coach of the Lille reserve team, expressed satisfaction with the winger’s commitment and contribution
. “Ounas was present with us at his request. He wanted to play, to stay in the rhythm. His state of mind and his contribution to the match were perfect for us.
We hope that it was beneficial for him,” stated Pichot, highlighting Ounas’ positive attitude and dedication to the team’s cause.
As Ounas continues his journey back to full fitness, his stint with the reserve team serves as a crucial stepping stone in his quest to reclaim a spot in the Lille first team.
