Despite the Thauvin saga, Lille has experienced little change in the transfer window. Franck Béria, who has been with LOSC since 2007, remains loyal to the club. Despite the coaching change with René Girard, Béria, a Franco-Malagasy, continues to hold his place in the Lille defense. Speaking at a press conference, Béria discussed the changes in the team and expressed satisfaction with the current state of LOSC.
“A lot of changes took place during the break, but somewhere, we were prepared for them,” explained the Lille defender. He further mentioned that he is not afraid of repeating cycles and sees it as one of the benefits of the sport, leading to progression, psychological growth, competition, and self-reflection.
Although Béria acknowledged that it will take time to assimilate René Girard’s new instructions, he expressed satisfaction with the team’s current seventh place in Ligue 1 after the first four matches. Béria emphasized the importance of building a strong defensive foundation and believes that offensive talent can shine more effectively when defensive issues are minimized.
In summary, Béria sees the ongoing adjustments positively and is optimistic about the team’s progress under René Girard.
