During a press conference this Thursday, two days before a trip to Paris, Will Still returned to the Derby du Nord, and its difficult digestion.
As part of the tenth day of Ligue 1 McDonald's, RC Lens must face Paris Saint-Germain, the undisputed leader of the championship. A meeting that Will Still and his men approach with a particular feeling: “There is a certain taste of revenge for what we experienced last week”launches the Lensois technician at a press conference this Thursday, without directly citing the defeat (0-2) suffered a week earlier during the reception of LOSC at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
The pole was nevertheless launched and the journalists obviously seized it to return to the Derby du Nord and the days which followed: “We had difficulty digesting it in the 24 to 48 hours that followed because we felt a certain injusticerecognizes Will Still, successor to Franck Haise at RC Lens. With a little more hindsight, cold, we know that we were perhaps not at the level we wanted to reach in the second half. We had enough opportunities in the first half to make a difference, but we didn't. We acknowledged all this in an honest and calm manner”he continues.
However, hindsight does not prevent regrets: “We lost a match, yes, but also a derby. It's a little more annoying, especially for the supporters. It was important to us to do something good and I think that what we held dear was taken from our hands a little. A draw would have been perfectly logical in this match, but that’s how life is. We got back to work on Sunday morning and started preparing for this match in Paris.”he concluded.
