The Derby du Nord was still on everyone's minds this Thursday in Lens, so much so that Brice Samba was once again invited to give his point of view on Lucas Chevalier's victorious celebrations during the match.
A little less than a week ago, LOSC ensured its regional supremacy by surpassing RC Lens (0-2) of Will Still. The defeat was nevertheless bitter for the Artésiens, showered by unexpected twists and turns at the end of the match. The wound was still raw this Thursday at a press conference and the Lens actors were unable to avoid questions from journalists. Captain of the Sang et Or, Brice Samba was particularly questioned about the case of Lucas Chevalier, whose victorious celebrations were subject to tension.
Brice Samba, calmly and firmly, admitted to having spoken with Lucas Chevalier at the final whistle: “I was young too and I did things I shouldn’t have donehe acknowledges to begin and defuse any potential ambiguity. Today, I am 30 years old and I have a little more experience. I spoke with him a little, and it will remain between us, but he knows very well that these are not things to do, especially in this kind of matches, with such tension and the history that there may have been. to have. These are attitudes to avoid, but he is only 23 and he is still learning. I don't think he'll ever do that again.”simply concluded the French international, words very different from those used by Bruno Genesio a few hours later. The Lille technician seemed particularly annoyed by this redundant subject.
