After Lille's defeat last week, Racing Club de Lens lost again, this time at the Parc des Princes against PSG (1-0). RC Lens was often dominated, reduced to 10 men for more than half an hour of play, but there were a few chances.
RC Lens was caught cold at the Parc with a goal from Ousmane Dembele after a few minutes of play. Then, he played 35 minutes shorthanded following the exclusion of Abdukodir Khusanov. “It’s another defeat with facts of the game, details to our disadvantage. You have to work to have more control”introduit Will Still.
Then, the coach returned to the goal at the start of the match. “It’s a defensive touch, we leave too much distance, it’s annoying to concede a goal in such a phase”says the coach before highlighting his team’s second period: « There are positives, especially in the second period with better content. We looked at them less, there was more personality. We were reduced to 10, it wasn't great but it was better than the first period.

In the end, we weren't very, very good over a long stretch of matches. »

We need to make people aware that there are a lot of qualities, the players are the first to be frustrated. There is no miracle recipe, no change to make. We manage to create these situations for ourselves, to obtain them. Now we have to be more serene in our state of mind, we are not yet”analyse Will Still
However, despite this defeat, Will Still found positives at the end of the meeting: “There are positive things. We create situations, we press. At 10, we bring in two offensive players and we create chancesit's positive. You have to work. »
