Rio Mavuba, Lille OSC midfielder, seems to approach his team’s success with a level-headed perspective in an interview with L’Equipe. Despite Lille’s current 4th position in the French Ligue 1, trailing behind Monaco, PSG, and OM, Mavuba views the situation as somewhat paradoxical. While acknowledging the positive aspects of their thirteen points, he emphasizes that there is still room for improvement, both individually and collectively.
Mavuba expresses a desire to avoid complacency and not limit the team to their current position. Despite their primary goal of securing a spot in the top five, he hints at the possibility of challenging the traditional top three teams (Monaco, PSG, and OM). Mavuba’s focus seems to be on continuous improvement and making strides without being in the spotlight. He suggests that remaining under the radar allows the team to progress peacefully, with the ultimate aim of garnering attention and recognition by the end of the Championship.
