The second and third of this group had an appointment at the Valenciennes training centre. The Lensois, led by a clinician Rémy Labeau Lascary, went to establish their domain with the neighboring Valenciennes.
In a fairly open match, it was RC Lens who proved the more effective in both areas in the first period. In front, yes, because it didn’t take much for Labeau-Lascary to put two behind (14th 0-1 and 44th 0-2).
Dominated but solid after the break
Even behind, because Delbecque was reassuring. The defense was disciplined in depth management, among other things. The second act will again see the VAFC working to do better. With a 3-goal lead just after returning from the dressing rooms (Thiam 52nd, 0-3), RC Lens would suffer more from the assaults of Valenciennes. It will only end once, at the end of the game on a shot from distance by Joao de Ceita (1-3, 84th). Despite this, we remain on an excellent artesian success. Three goals scored against the best defense in the group (which had only conceded 5 until tonight).
Vincent Carlier’s team continues to progress and its march forward! Tonight Sang et Or are provisionally number one.
Vincent Carlier’s reaction
“We could have had more situations because there was a lot of space behind, between the lines. We could have played the shots even better. It was the idea of the 2nd time but we came back with some sufficiency. It’s not for lack of warning that another game was starting. I don’t know if it was complacency, management or lack of focus. Either way, we couldn’t regain enough control. We meet a good team that puts us in difficulty, it’s also the first game in which we don’t have ball possession, at least for the whole game. On the other hand, we have been incisive in depth, we have been dangerous when we have found our strikers or our pistons thrown. I didn’t like the second half. Although it is normal for the opponent to have highlights, it is part of football, we have not had this scenario yet, but it is also the quality of the opponent. […] We will still keep the victory, it is still a great victory.
After Lille and Amiens, Lens won against a new reserve. “Count again! I wished I could establish my dominance more prominently. It was like this in terms of result but it wasn’t enough for me in terms of content.
