Lille appears to have shifted its focus away from the podium and is now aiming to secure a place in the Europa League. The upcoming match against Reims on the 36th day of Ligue 1 is crucial for Lille, and they recognize that there is no room for error.
Despite being on a positive trajectory, recent setbacks, including a draw against Sochaux (3-3) and a defeat at Toulouse (4-2), have disrupted Lille’s plans. The team, however, believes that a turnaround is possible, especially in the upcoming match against Reims, even though Reims has lost only one of their last seven matches.
Aurélien Chedjou, the Cameroonian defender for Lille, expressed his frustration with the recent downturn in form. He mentioned the team’s positive position after a defeat in Paris but acknowledged a potential lack of concentration in subsequent matches. Chedjou emphasized the disappointment of letting go of a European spot given the squad’s capabilities and conveyed the team’s determination to finish strong in the league.
