PAPE SOUARÉ: TOWARDS A CLASH WITH HIS COACH IN LILLE?
Pape Souaré expressed his disappointment at not starting in Lille’s recent match against Guingamp (1-0), admitting that he is a competitive player who always wants to be on the field. Despite his frustration, he respects the coach’s decision and remains committed to giving his best whenever he gets the opportunity to play. Souaré’s absence from the starting lineup against Guingamp may have been perceived as a punishment following Lille’s previous loss in the Coupe de France against Rennes (0-2). However, Souaré remains determined to contribute positively whenever called upon.
Despite the victory against Guingamp, Lille faced criticism from their fans, which Souaré found difficult to accept. He believes that the team’s third-place position in the league should be acknowledged and appreciated by the supporters, even in the aftermath of a disappointing cup elimination. Souaré expressed surprise and disappointment at being whistled by the fans despite the team’s victory, considering it to be unjustified given their current league standing.
