While its appearance before the DNCG is fast approaching, RC Lens could be sanctioned by the French financial policeman. The Sang et Or must in fact sell for around 40 million this winter, while Joseph Oughourlian announced a new loan to keep the accounts in balance.
It was in this situation that Lens lost at home 3 to 1 against Olympique de Marseille. A defeat which once again brought to the fore the lack of offensive efficiency on the part of the Sang et Or.
Will Still: “The problem is we don’t score”
Rather good in defense, the Northerners are having great difficulty this season in scoring goals. RC Lens is one of the worst attacks in the championship with 13 goals in 12 days. With such efficiency, it is difficult to win matches and especially to aim for European places.
This situation is starting to annoy Will Still. “It's good to say that we're doing great things, but at half-time, we have to be in front and we're able to manage. The problem is that we don't score. It's repeated too much often”launched the Belgian coach.
RC Lens: “We have to change things”
He then clearly challenged his leaders: “It’s good to say or repeat that it will pay off in the end, but at some point you have to change things.” This has the merit of being clear. Will Still makes it clear to his management that offensive reinforcements must arrive this winter to resolve this efficiency problem.
Will this call be heard by its management? La Voix du Nord wrote at the end of last week that RC Lens would mainly focus on sales this winter. Regarding reinforcements, the Lens management has the idea of recruiting a striker and a winger this winter. But no significant investment will be made, these arrivals will even be “probably on loan”.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
