“RC Lens Defeats Stade de Reims: Post-Match Frustration and Regrets”

On the side of the Stade de Reims the song is very different. Very enterprising from the start of the match, Reims clearly put the Artésiens in difficulty. After the expulsion from Kevin Dance it was therefore thought that the men of Will Still would quietly continue their momentum as they were effective in the animation.

A well-oiled collective that finally yielded to this RC Lens clinical. A defeat that Will Still will probably take some time to digest.

“I have a lot of regrets, frustration. We have the feeling that Lens did not win, and that we gave the match to Lens. For 25 minutes, we put a system in place which greatly hindered the best Ligue 1 team at the moment. Then we almost commit suicide by offering a penalty that I can’t understand. There is no danger. We talked about managing emotions, key moments. We we couldn’t handle it.” he confided after the meeting in remarks relayed by Laurent Mazure before continuing.

“After the break, of course, there is a very high class action from Seko Fofana, but we are too wait-and-see. We are too far, we are watching him do it. When you are down 2-1, even at 10… It becomes a game of placed attacks, which we haven’t mastered yet. It’s the very high level, and we’re not there yet.”
