Galtier: I Nearly Subbed Off David Before Winner
Lille coach Christophe Galtier admits he nearly subbed off Jonathan David before his brace against Marseille
Lille coach Christophe Galtier confessed that he wanted to substitute Jonathan David off before he scored two goals in the final minutes of Lille's 2-0 win over Marseille on Wednesday:
“I found his first half difficult, in terms of the quality of his sequences, his movements. And then, when I saw that Marseille were installing a really deep block, in the final 20 minutes, I took note of what my bench was saying, that he could unblock the situation. He was very opportunistic.”
Lille currently sit atop the Ligue 1 table, two points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.
