“If the good series of RC Lens was cut off by the defeat in Lille (0-4) and by the two matches postponed against FC Nantes and OM, the Sang et Or tore themselves to take a point against Reims Sunday afternoon (4-4). I think that with his public in Bollaert, Lens could even have achieved the unthinkable by turning the score over against the Champenois.
Even though Lens ended up behind by two goals against Reims, this team led by Franck Haise really matches the values and DNA of this club and this region. She struggled to pick up the score with a double in three minutes from Florian Sotoca. Sunday, we saw that the RCL suffered from a lack of competition but there were other resources not to lose. I remain convinced that Lens will continue to be a spoiler in this championship.
“This 4-4 must be an inspiration for the future”
Today, Lens fell back to the middle of the table. We must be aware that the start of the season was exceptional for a promoted. The points taken are no longer to be taken. With certain successes, Racing offered itself a “bonus” on its scoreboard. Personally, I prefer to retain the faculty of this Lens team to react. They weren’t mentally overwhelmed by events even when they were being led wide or had to chase after the score. I really don’t care about them. This 4-4 should be an inspiration for the future.
After the break, against Dijon, RC Lens will recover their top scorer Ignatius Ganago. We realize that his absence coincides with the last victory of the Sang et Or in Ligue 1 (2-0 against ASSE). Maybe the team had become a little dependent on him. Now, seeing Lens score four times against Reims reassures me: a real collective to carry the Blood and Gold. It is true that Ganago represents the superb Mercato de Lens and that his absence is noticeable but there are players of value to replace it and they responded present. “
