Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Present at a press conference this Friday, Will Still was questioned about the very hot transfer window at RC Lens. The Sang-et-Or coach had thus confirmed that he was preparing to lose his goalkeeper and captain Brice Samba. A departure which should have been numerically compensated by the recruitment of another goalkeeper. But against all expectations, the artesian club would have canceled everything.
Thunderclap on the transfer window RC Lens. Indeed, the Sang-et-Or were preparing to lose Brice Samba. Captain Lensois, the French doorman was to join the Stade Rennais Or Jorge Sampaoli requested his transfer to replace Steve Mandanda. Besides, Will Still had confirmed the departure of its goalkeeper. “ I learned that Brice wanted to leave the club during the holidays, that he had received an offer. How do I experience it? It's obviously annoying, because he's the captain of the club, a very, very good goalkeeper. But from the moment the choice is made, there isn't much to discuss. Keeping a player who no longer wants to be there is not necessarily a good thing for a locker room, so in the end it's not that complicated. », blurted out the coach of Sang-et-Or at a press conference.
RC Lens cancels everything!
But then everything would have collapsed. Indeed, according to information from RMC Sportthe RC Lens would have decided to cancel the transfer of Brice Samba. A strong decision from the northern club facing “ communications policy » of Rennes, in particular its management, according to the media which adds that the French international would have been warned of the decision of the Lensois who would even be ready to let Brice Samba on the bench throughout the second half of the season.
Samba stays in Lens?
Therefore, this should also cancel another transfer. Will Still confirmed in fact that Hervé Koffi will defend the goals of RC Lens while waiting for the arrival of a new goalkeeper. “ Hervé (Koffi) will play on Sunday and until further notice, he had a good match against Paris and he will play again this weekend. It's up to him to prove that he is good and that he has the abilities to be with us. There is necessarily a recruitment process in place, Brice will be replaced “, he confided. But here again, without departure from Brice Sambaanother goalkeeper will probably not be recruited. A double transfer is therefore canceled.
