“Reims’ dreams of Europe dwindling after third consecutive loss”

Defeated by Clermont this afternoon, Reims sees its dreams of Europe moving away almost definitively. The fault of a goal conceded at the very start of the match (4th minute) which drove Will Still crazy. Questioned afterwards, he explains his reaction:

“I want to break open all the doors that are in front of me. I’m not going to, I’m going to stay calm. The temperament of the redhead and the Englishman that stands out, I try to channel it as well as possible. From the moment you prepare for a whole week for a game that you expect, but you shoot yourself in the foot after four and a half seconds. I try to get the message across to the players, to get them back on track. It’s not easy to be a coach, I’m learning, the team is learning, that’s the main thing. »

Reims in a bad patch

If the young 30-year-old coach still has to learn to channel himself, we can understand his anger. While they had lost no match in the league between September 18 and March 19, Reims suffered their third consecutive setback this Sunday. Worse, Folarin Balogun’s teammates did not score any goals over the period! A very ugly series that sends them out in the second half of the table for the first time in a very long time! The champagne will still have to wait to be sabered.
