First leg Thursday
The LS prepares Astana while already thinking of Besiktas
The LS receives FC Astana this Thursday at the Tuilière. Peter Zeidler wants to turn the page on the defeat in Thoune and already projects himself in the next round.
After offering a dream evening to the public of the Tuilière against Vardar last Thursday, the LS hopes to reissue such a feat this Thursday.

Fallen for the first time of the season Sunday in Thoune, the Lausanne-Sport does not have time to rehash. Thursday (kick -off at 8:15 p.m.), the LS will face FC Astana in the first leg of the third qualifying round for the next conference League. History to continue with a fifth match in fourteen days, and continue this intense start to the season.
“This match in Thoune was a disappointment. More than a disappointment, a frustration, explains Peter Zeidler at a press conference before Thursday’s game. We analyzed the match well, and I told my players that we must especially learn to move on. ”
The Lausanne coach recognizes that his players still had a little head for their sparkling success against the Vardar a few days earlier: “After the match against Skopje, it was obvious: we were not 100% concentrated on Thoune, a supermotivated team. We have a new chance tomorrow. ”
Peter Zeidler Attend Besiktas
Lausanne must therefore forget Thoune and focus on the arrival of Astana, current second in the Kazakhstan championship. In the previous round, the capital’s club came to the end of the Moldovans of Zimbru Chisinau. Held in check at home (1-1), Astana went to win 2-0 in Moldova. “We watched their two matches: it’s a stronger team than Skopje, it’s clear,” announces Peter Zeidler.
Above all, the LS this time faces a well -established team physically running. The Kazakh championship is playing in the calendar year, and FC Astana therefore has 19 league matches in the legs.
A fear for the LS coach? “No,” he cuts. We are already in rhythm with these four matches played. The question is rather mental: you have to learn to focus quickly on the next match. ” Before adding: “We absolutely want to play Besiktas in the next round, that’s the goal. We respect Astana a lot, but we want to reach the next round. Besiktas is a motivation. ”
The same tuiler fervor?
In the previous round, the LS had taken advantage of the presence of more than 9000 spectators to atomize Skopje. “We hope to see the same fervor, toned Peter Zeidler. Spectators really have an influence on our players. It’s a good thing, we would like to relive that. ” However, the LS is waiting for a little fewer people this Thursday: around 8,000 spectators are expected to be present, including around fifty kazakhs.
