In the first leg, Losc won the derby against Lens – DENIS CHARLET / AFP
Who said that the notion of derby no longer meant anything to the players? Before the Lens-Lille derby scheduled for Friday at the Pierre Mauroy stadium, the players of the two teams compete for punchlines.
First to have opened the ball, the Lensois Gaël Kakuta did not hide Thursday that he would like the PSG to be crowned champion of France in place of the regional rival, current leader of Ligue 1. “If we can deprive Lille of the title, it would be beautiful”, thus dropped the RC Lens forward with a big smile.
“Compared to respect, he should have kept it to himself”
A media release that did not rain on the side of Losc. If Christophe Galtier, the Lille coach, estimated this Friday that “these are phrases that are part of folklore”, Burak Yilmaz was more virulent.
The Lille striker did not mince words with his opponent. “I know the player well. He’s a very good, experienced player. Compared to respect, he should have kept that to himself. In addition, last week, they played against Paris and they lost, ”noted Kral. After the text explanation, the two players will have the opportunity to meet on the field this Friday in a derby which promises to be already hot.
