RC Lens has its new goalkeeper and his name is Mathew Ryan. At 32, the Australian reached the north of France in recent days. “ From his 454 professional matches, Mathew Ryan is a strong reinforcement for the Artesian squad.

-“A totally modern goalkeeper, a bit in the style of Manuel Neuer”
Knowing well Mathew Ryan, Robbie Slater made the presentations with the new goalkeeper of the RC Lens. In remarks given to The Teamhe then confided on the Australian: “ What type of guardian is he? A totally modern goalkeeper, a bit in the style of Manuel Neuer. He is very strong in his kicking game. But he is also very good on his line, with good reaction time and very fast movements. Afterwards, he is not a big goalkeeper in terms of size. Not small, but not huge either. His time in England allowed him to progress on corners and free kicks. He is very authoritarian in his outings ».
“He will fall in love with Lens”
« Ryan is about to discover something special, something he has never seen in his career, even in the Premier League. This atmosphere will take hold of him, he will fall in love with Lens. This club, it contaminates you and he will be entitled to it. But it will also be a real test for him, he must win. He needs to get back on track because his place in Australia is now in danger. There is a new coach who has regularly chosen another goalkeeper since his arrival. He cannot dream of a better place to react, provided that he agrees to embrace the Lens culture, that he learns French », he added on Mathew Ryan.
