Will Still knows how to talk to the media. A very good communicator, he has always had a knack for dealing with journalists in order to get people talking about him effectively. His first press conference in Lens was no exception to the rule.
In Olympic form and all smiles, the Sang et Or was present for the first press conference since taking office. Asked about his new role, he obviously answered all the questions with his characteristic verve.

Obviously, he was also questioned about the Euro. And he didn’t beat around the bush: “I’ve watched a lot of Euro matches, but we’re a bit bored”he began, without filter.The Euro isn’t great.”

Between humor and seriousness, he was inevitably questioned about the future derby between France and Belgium in Düsseldorf. “Out of pride, I want to say that I hope Belgium wins, but it’s really to piss you off.”he continued between two bursts of laughter.Because I think that at the start of the competition, the Belgians were not crazy, like the Euro. I like to taunt people, so if Belgium wins, that gives me an extra card to stay in the locker room.”

Although he is Belgian, Will Still has never hidden his love for England, where his parents come from. He also had a few words about the Three Lions’ journey.I know people say I’m Belgian, but I’m much more of the English team, which is catastrophic, let’s not lie to ourselves.”
Lens and Will Still, the marriage seemed obvious. After the end of his adventure with Reims, the Northerners were a natural step according to him. “It’s the most English of French clubs, there’s a logic in this choice. Coming to RC Lens was obvious.”

Often perceived as a labtop coach or Football Manager, something he has always defended, the young coach has proven that he has the ability to coach at the highest level. In Lens, the pressure will be different since he is entering a new galaxy. But there is no question of him turning everything upside down. “The squad has been built like that for several years (with pistons), I would be stupid to want to change everything. There will be a way of pressing and animation that will be different, but it will remain faithful to the identity of the club.assured coach Lensois.
