Olivier Létang highlights LOSC's performance against Stade Rennais

LOSC president Olivier Létang praised his team's victory away at Stade Rennais (2-1) on Sunday during the 10th round of Ligue 1. He highlighted the significant gap in financial resources between the two clubs.

Létang, who managed the Breton club until 2020, did not fail to emphasize this difference when speaking to the press after the match. "We must not forget either that they are one of the biggest budgets in the division. They have a payroll that must be four times ours," he declared, thus underlining the importance of the success achieved by the Dogues.

LOSC won thanks to two goals from Soriba Diaoune (24th) and Nathan Ngoy (68th), despite an equalizer from Boulaye Dia for Rennes (31st). This victory allows the Lille club to climb to second place in the championship, with 21 points after ten rounds. "We have a record that is positive, even very positive," added Létang.

The president, however, did not want to draw conclusions too quickly from this performance. He was cautious, recalling that the club had been criticized at the start of the season for its style of play. You always have to be patient, you had to be patient, he insisted.

The victory also comes during a favorable period institutionally for Lille, which has just announced the contract extension of Hamza Igamane until 2031.
