The author of a promising season on a sporting level, José Bica appears to have ruined his last chance at LOSC this season with multiple mishaps on a disciplinary level. His dismissal against Maubeuge marked the end of his season.
Arriving at LOSC in July 2020, José Bica joined LOSC U19 before slowly climbing the ladder within the Lille squad. The author of the good first part of the season with 7 goals in 10 national matches and 3 achievements in 6 matches in the youth league, the Portuguese caused a remarkable rise. Promising performances that allowed him to get his first professional contract with a mastiff at the beginning of the year. He promised a bright future and when his name began ringing in the ears of Lille supporters, the 18-year-old apparently shot himself in the foot.
Dogues offensive leader, José Bica remains an unpredictable component of Stéphane Pichot’s workforce. Particularly impulsive, the Portuguese restricted adventures with frequent disciplinary problems. Returning to the group after several weeks of absence during the confrontation between Team Lusk and American Maubeuge, he once again hampered his training with an early expulsion after comments against the jury. The reality of the game is added to the mediocre performance that makes Stéphane Pichot wince. The technician was particularly clear regarding the condition of those protecting him: “ Jose Pica? I don’t even talk about it. He’s coming out of layoffs…not understand. It’s in particular what I aim for in my notes when I talk about individuality. Show it again tonight. I think his season is over, quite simply! A season that will still be very lean…”
