Luka Elsner (Reims): “An evening terribly empty of everything”

“I think this is going to be one of the most difficult analyzes of my career, so many things that went wrong, breathes Reims coach Luka Elsner after his team’s 0-2 defeat against Racing. From the way in which we conducted it strategically, from the way in which we conducted it, from the way in which I managed to motivate the troops, because we were faithful to all substance, especially the physical plans, tactics, overall strategies, then match feelings which were not of strong importance. An evening terribly empty of everything.”

Overtaken by a Lens team that came to establish its domination, Reims struggled in all areas. “I am extremely sorry for the supporters who made the effort to come out in the cold to support us. We start extremely weak, there is practically no ball, we have difficulty connecting anything, we do not have a tempo.

Elsner continues. “I had the impression that we were waiting for something to happen that would allow us to restart the machine. There was really nothing wrong. I think that the first step so that it can happen as much in the next week is to tell ourselves, to face it, not to hide, then to go back to work much stronger, because there it ‘was insufficient.’
