The Professional Football League recently released data regarding offenses at the start of the season. The Lens Racing Club stands out, but not in a positive way. This club is in first position in the ranking of the most sanctioned teams, with 177 faults reported.
On average, Lens commits 16.1 fouls per match. This statistic places them ahead of Toulouse, who committed 156. On an individual level, Adrien Thomasson, a Lens midfielder, ranks third among the most guilty players with 23 infractions.
well that Thomasson committed numerous fouls, he received only one yellow card in Ligue 1. Rémy Labeau-Lascary and Facundo Medina, his teammates, were cautioned four times each, illustrating a varied approach by the referees.
At the same time, the ranking of players who suffered the most fouls does not include any Lens player among the top five. This list is dominated by players from Strasbourg, Monaco, Montpellier, Rennes and Toulouse, highlighting a difference in discipline.
Lens may need to work on their discipline to reduce future sanctions. Comparatively, certain teams, like Saint-Étienne, were penalized much less. This disparity highlights the management of faults on the pitch.
These statistics reveal a marked contrast in the way the different teams approach their confrontations. Foul handling and on-court discipline seem to vary greatly from team to team.
