During their victory in Reims (0-2), Racing Club de Lens took the lead quite quickly thanks to a goal from Adrien Thomasson in the 25th minute. This lead allowed RC Lens to manage their meeting and, for once, they did it brilliantly.
In previous seasons or even this year (Nantes), RC Lens always has difficulty managing a meeting when it is in the lead. However, on Friday, we felt a lot of mastery from the Lensois collective, delivering a complete match. Perhaps even the first of its kind. “I think so”agrees midfielder Adrien Thomasson.
This feeling of control
The Lensois were able to perfectly manage the strong moments and the weak moments of this match. “It’s true that I had that feeling in the second half, where we were in a block, difficult to maneuver. Afterwards, at a certain point, we suffered a few more centers, situations for them. Afterwards, they were playing at home, so we knew that containing them throughout the match was going to be difficult. But it’s true that in the second half, I felt that we controlled the match quite well”explains the Lensois.
