Many supporters of Racing Club de Lens are worried about the turn the winter transfer window is taking. While Brice Samba has left for Rennes and Abdukodir Khusanov is about to join Manchester City, the executives are all leaving little by little. At a press conference, Will Still did not fail to be fatalistic: “I live it with full knowledge of the facts. I knew that coming here to replace Franck Haise, knowing the financial needs of the club, everything was not going to be rosy and magical with butterflies in every corner. I knew we were going to lose important players. We didn’t necessarily expect that Brice (Samba) would leave now, that Kodir (Khusanov) would perhaps also leave this winter, but I also knew that we were going to have to fill the departures, which will happen.” he declared in comments reported by Lensois.com.
Still fatalistic…
He then continued: “I knew everything wasn’t going to be perfect. And again, we are 7th, a few points behind the teams in front and we have just brought in a scorer (editor’s note: Goduine Koyalipou). We are trying to move in the right direction. I know that from the outside, you see a sort of tornado around the club, but from the inside, there isn’t one at all, we all ate together with the staff, it was very good. We are focusing on Sunday and I am living it peacefully. I feel good, I was bothered by the defeat against Toulouse, but once again it is like the start of the year. After the match, a very angry supporter, and I understand it, stopped me and asked me what the difference was between what I was doing in Reims and here. I said it’s simple, in Reims we had Balogun who scored 22 goals during the season. We are not efficient enough here. This is a problem that has been observed and recognized, on which we are working as shown by the arrival of “Koya” (editor’s note: Koyalipou). I haven’t changed the coach I am. We had some good matches in terms of content, others less so. I know that there is always a worry, the press will talk about this or that, but it is within our ropes to beat Le Havre on Sunday. Only for that we will have to be good, united and show our best image. I know you’d like me to say, “It’s hot, I don’t feel good,” but I don’t..”
