Thanks to its victory in Reims (0-2), Friday at the opening of the 13th day of Ligue 1, thee RC Lens made us forget the difficult match against Marseille to stay attached to the wagon of contenders at the top of the table. Enough to lead Kevin Diaz, consultant for RMC, to make a positive assessment of this first big third of the season.
RC Lens faces difficulty
“This Lens team is well coached by Will Still. He is someone who instills energy, aggression. He is a very modern trainer. He must be a top manager, because you feel that in his team, from the start of the matches. They had a good first half against Marseille, unfortunately without managing to score. There, they opened the score, which made things a little easier for them. It's a well-established team, which defended with four with (Facundo) Medina on the left. Which was a bit surprising. There are solid remains from the Franck Haise era. There is less quality than with Loïs Openda, Elye Wahi or a fit Wesley Saïd. It's a club that has suffered quite a bit from TV rights and its elimination from the European Cup. Despite everything, it remains a very consistent start to the season. »
