If there is a good operation to be carried out, it is this one! Now dolphin of Feignies-Aulnoye after his victory over Vimy (0-3), last weekend, RC Lens receives his first pursuer this Saturday (4 p.m.) at home. Valenciennes B, 3rd with 40 points, released some slack last week by losing at home against Lambres, relegated. Opposite, Lens is now on a series of 4 matches without losses and 15 goals scored over the same period. A good dynamic to hope to play the climb despite the delay accumulated on the leader Feignies.
A difficult backlog
“We are still 5 points behindunderline Vincent Carlier. We score, it’s true, but despite everything, we left points on the way which are difficult to catch up because Feignies is advancing quickly, it’s also proof that it’s a team that believes in it. But all that does not change the way I approach our matches. That doesn’t mean we don’t have ambition, mind you. Now, I think we don’t have a joker, we are condemned to win everything until the end if we want to hope for something. We did it at Vimy, we don’t concede a goal and we score 3. Above all, what I liked was having managed to lay the foundations of our game in a context that was complicated. »
There are now 5 matches left for Racing to try to catch up. A deadline this weekend: the reception of Valenciennes! “We want to deliver a good match against a reserve team, in a match with rhythm, with a little more space. The intentions are a little different in a reserve game. I expect a quality opponent. »
