For his return to the starting lineup of RC Lens, wearing the captain’s armband, Florian Sotoca suffered defeat against Toulouse (0-1), this Sunday on the occasion of the 16th day of Ligue 1. A very frustrating for the attacker, who believes that the refereeing had an impact on the fate of the game.
A frustrating match for RC Lens
“There are a lot of regrets with the content of the first half and the start of the second. A referee decision necessarily changes the entire match. At the time, he tells her that he is trying to avoid her and that he is not going all out. Afterwards, obviously the images show something else. It’s a shame because it ruins football. We are 80 minutes from the goal, our backs to the game. I don’t see the intention of hurting the opponent very much. We see that he removes his foot. Taking a red on that is difficult. Until the red card, I think we are very good. We have a lot of center situations. We put them under pressure, they had difficulty advancing on our defenders. Two or three transitions could have hurt us, but we defended them well. It’s infuriating. If we manage to score this first goal, it’s obviously a completely different match. Overall, the content is good and that’s what makes you complain. »
Hervé Koffi reassures
“We know that we can count on Hervé (Koffi) who has always been at the top in training. The state of mind is very good. He didn’t flinch, he always trained. I’m very happy for him, because he had a good match. Unfortunately, we took this goal from the penalty spot… In any case, we are very happy to have Hervé and to see him do the job. »
A disrupted locker room?
“We have no excuses. We played our match. You just have to put the opportunities at the bottom. Regarding the transfer window, we know full well that there will be departures and arrivals. It’s part of the game. You have to know how to stay focused on the pitch. We will hang on and work hard this week to achieve a result in Le Havre. »
