Usually far too harmless on set pieces, the RC Lens was more dangerous than usual from a corner last weekend during his defeat at Bollaert against PSG (1-2, 18th day of Ligue 1). To the point of scoring in this exercise. The ball of Przemyslaw Frankowskideflected at the near post by a Parisian, had been taken back victoriously by M'Bala Love at the far post.
Some adjustments were made to these phases of play before the match. The coach lensois Will Still explains:
« We changed hitters (editor’s note: this time Frankowski). We also removed Fac' (Facundo Medina) from 16 meters. He wants to be aggressive but he never shows his face and it's annoying (laughs). We work on set pieces. Against Paris, we wanted to target this area at the near post. Frankie put the ball where it needed to be and it paid off in the end. We knew that things were going to change, that the refereeing decisions were going to change too. You have to stay calm even if sometimes it's frustrating. »
