Lille got a shocking 2-1 loss against Angers home last night. I wasn't surprised by the match being tough but I wasn't expecting Lille would lose here. Angers made a storming start to the match and scored 2 goals in the first 10 ten minutes. Lille managed to respond with B. Yimaz's goal in the 42nd minute. In the second half, Lille tried to turn the game around but Angers succeeded in securing the 2-1 win.
It was an unpredictable match and I would have better avoided betting on the league if I didn't want to take risks and besides, PSG and their new coach did not get 3 points even though the opponent against him was Etienne. It should have been a good starting moment but yes, history is not a benchmark and what's more there will always be changes in whatever is in the team.
Honestly it was shocking not because it was unexpected by default, it was unexpected to get this result. Lille has the same points as PSG and they lost against Angers last night, with one draw they would be ahead of PSG right now. This shows that Lille is a lot better this year, with the addition of some players they became very well this year. So, everyone expected them to beat the lower level teams and only have hard time with the high level teams.
However this is football, if you ever gambled, you would know that any team could lose to any team, I once remember (waaaay years ago) Barcelona being the best team I have ever seen, and they won against Real Madrid something like 5-0 or something, and then lost to like Sociedad or something 3-0 a bit later, I don't remember the team honestly but they were so good and beat Madrid so well yet ended up losing to a relegation level team. Hence anything could happen and we shouldn't be too shocked.
