The Lensois lost this Sunday at home against Toulouse (1-0), during the 16th day of Ligue 1
Aware of Lens' offensive difficulties, coach Will Still said he “would be happy to sign players at 25-30 million euros” if he could, after the defeat at home against Toulouse (1-0) on Sunday during the sixteenth day of Ligue 1. Once again, the Artesian club dominated most of the meeting without managing to score, despite fourteen shots (only one on target), seven corners and 66% possession.
“Today's match perfectly illustrates our first part of the season: you are very good, you dominate, you create a lot of situations or half-situations, except that Lens does not score, a constaté Will Still. When you do that, you expose yourself.”
Asked about Lens' European ambitions, in a context where the club should let its goalkeeper and captain Brice Samba leave mid-season as well as its nugget in central defense Abdukodir Khusanov, the Anglo-Belgian highlighted the situation financial of Blood and Gold: “I would be the first to be delighted to sign players for 25-30 million, but there is a financial reality within the club, within French football, which does not allow us to do so. The only thing I can control is training tomorrow morning.”
“RC Lens has proven in the past that it is capable of competing despite this financial deficit and players who are perhaps a little less sexy on paper, so we will continue”he added.
