After 5 victories in a row in all competitions, Angers ended up falling this Sunday to Bollaert facing the RC Lens (1-0). The SCO showed itself to be very harmless, well contained by the Racing.
At the end of the meeting, the coach Alexandre Dujeux bowed to the superiority displayed by the RC Lens this Sunday: We lost against a team which had a big match, which was superior. We came up against a big team from Lens and we didn't have enough resources to score this goal which would have allowed us to take 1 point. They put on strong pressure with pace. In the first half, we managed to release balls which could have given more clear chances. »
“The power released by Lens was impressive”

The Angevin coach was confronted with the rapid exits of Aholou (thigh) and Arcus (calf) in the first period, on two different changeover times. Another annoyance: “Two changes in the first half, it's not easy because in the second, we only have one change time. We tried to bring in some fresh blood by finishing with 2 attackers but it wasn't enough. The power released by Lens was quite impressive, they are one of the teams that impressed me the most in this area. Losing here is not infamy for us. We will still learn through this match against a big team. » Asked whether or not the RC Lens to break the glass ceiling which has prevented him for several months from rising higher than 7th place, he comments: “ Yes on what I saw this evening. It's a team that has had a change of coach, Will Still puts his stamp on it, I felt it in the intensity. They are a team that is gaining strength and if they continue, they are capable of doing well in this championship. »
