Lille, Humilié at Home by Paris SG (5-1), Sunday 6 February, at the closing of 23 e day of league 1, was held by his guardian Ivo Grbic, author a catastrophic service.
The 26-year-old porter, loaned by Atletico Madrid last August, put the PSG on the right tracks by making a huge mistake from the tenth minute: on a safe center of Nuno Mendes, he released the Balloon just in the right place so that Danilo can throw away and enjoy this offering to open the score (1-0, 10 e ).
It was only the beginning of a nightmarish evening for the Croatian International.
Shortly after the half hour of play, while his team had revolted and had logically equalized by Sven Botman after a wonderful work of Hatem Ben Arfa (1-1, 28 e ), he again revived the PSG, totally missing its output in the 5.50 m on a corner of Lionel Messi, taken up by Presnel Kimpembe without opposition (1-2, 32 e ). / P>
Just after rest, while the Argentineal leader had rolled up the score by beating it with a small stung ball (1-3, 38 e ), he again illustrated: after Having made a nice reflex stop on an attempt at Messi, GRBIC cleared to the cookie cut into the axis while it could have dive to seize the ball and in the stride, Danilo offered a doubled. ‘a shot diverted by Amadou Onana (1-4, 51 e ).

late and passive

The Croatian International seemed on a bottom-up slope in recent weeks after disappointing first months. In his first weeks in the north, he had never cranked error, but he had rarely been decisive, the fault of a sometimes approximate placement or a lack of insurance in the air, despite his large size (1m95 ).
A Marseille mid-January (1-1), he had managed to save the point of the draw for the LOSC, who had played more than one hour in digital inferiority, realizing no less than six stops and in relieving his defense in the aerial outings.
“There is a form of logic. He did all the season last without playing while he played all the time for almost six months, he has the right state of mind and hardly trains the progression Comes and efficiency with, “said his coach Jocelyn Gourvennec after the game with the velodrome.
“It had to adapt to a new championship, a new culture. He keeps his requirement and his commitment,” added the Lille technician.
Sunday facing Paris, he has not confirmed his recent performances and will have to recover to help the LOSC, which points to a mediocre 11 e place in Ligue 1, to negotiate its next Deadlines against Montpellier, Chelsea or Lyon.
