Africa Lille/Elana : « I’m occupying an exposed position »

Lille presents a quit regular season and ranks in the 6th position in Ligue 1. LOSC which was on nice series has felt facing Sochaux (3-3) and at Toulouse (4-2).

In two games, The “Dogues” has taken seven goals.

That fact has aroused some criticisms against Steeve Elana. The goalkeeper has aligned against-performances in these two matches.

In an interview to La Voix du Nord, the Martinique guy did not show any anger against his detractors. The West Indian prefers to focus on the final sprint of the championship :

“There will be always critics and my goal is not to be liked by everybody. The only thing that matters to me is to work and find my positives feelings. What is well done is forgotten quickly, when it is rough time. I’m occupying an exposed position. It will know me badly to believe that I will close myself in a sort of bubble. My yield has to be better and I am aware of that. I don’t know if exists a goalkeeper that manages to have a peaceful season. I’m trying not to forget, and the staff is doing it also, what good I am capable to do. Sometimes even I forget it because I’m drawn under these critics, but it is not the solution.”
