Passed by Lille between 1999 and 2003, the former Argentine midfielder Fernando D'Amico continues to follow the club with which he shone in Europe.
One week away from a decisive trip to Angers for the title of champion of France, the one who has now turned to coaching delivered a strong message to the men of Christophe Galtier, on his way to a fourth title of champion despite the draw conceded against Saint-Etienne (0-0) Sunday during which the northerner coach felt "nervous."

“Three years ago, I had a message for the supporters. We almost got off. I had a message against panic and hate. Today I have a message for the players. As the coach said, you have to overcome nervousness. There is an antidote to overcoming nervousness and fear of a ball bigger than it actually is. It's love. Be grateful for the moment you are passing. Thank the supporters for their support. Thank your family, the staff, the club. Afterwards, you have to change it for what. Do it for the supporters, after this pandemic, this crappy year that we have spent. The supporters need you. Help the people of Lille! It must be done now, life is too short, that of football is even shorter. We don't know where we will end up in 2-3 years,but I can tell you one thing. You have to do it right away. I love you. Thank you very much for this extraordinary year. Go on Losc, we must not let go! " A message heard by the supporters who relayed it a lot on social networks and which will undoubtedly come to the ears of Christophe Galtier's players.
