Lille, last year’s number four in France, did not get further than a 1-1 draw against Rennes on Saturday evening on the opening matchday of Ligue 1. Jonathan David, who made the switch from AA Gent for about 32 million euros in the off-season, was in the starting line-up but was replaced just past the hour. The French sports newspaper l’Equipe found David’s performance below par.

More than the result, it was mainly the hard judgment of the French sports newspaper L’Equipe that caught the eye afterwards. David received the unenviable honor of stepping off the field as a flop, with a meager three out of ten odds.
The Canadian forward, posted deep in striker, did little with the rare balls he was given and showed a clear lack of mobility. Still untraceable and invisible after the break, he was replaced by Yilmaz (65 ‘) who could not continue either. ”
In addition to the crisis at the Buffalos, their departed star player now also appears not to have to count on too much credit from the French press. These are difficult times for football in the Artevelde city.
