Le Racing failed in trying to reach the knockout stages of the Coupe de France. A certain sufficiency, especially in the defensive withdrawal but in the midst of this failure, some tried to score points. Mostly young people.
Wuilker Faríñez, the promise
Last week, Jean-Louis Léca was full of praise for Wuilker Faríñez. “He’s a crack”. His performance in the cages against the Red Star confirmed it. The Venezuelan was very good, especially in the first half. He was able to contain the missiles sent by the Audonians (18th, 34th). Despite his saves, he could not avoid defeat but the player loaned by Millonarios (Colombia) is definitely a promise. Lensois supporters will want more.
David Pereira Da Costa, the statement
For his first tenure, David Pereira Da Costa delivered a very solid performance. Impressive calm and hard work, the young Portuguese was able to make the right decisions to get out of perilous situations (11th, 18th). He constantly tried to project the game forward (31st) while being active in defense (47th). After his first professional goal in Saint-Étienne, David Pereira Da Costa is asserting himself and could well reshuffle the cards in the middle blood and gold for the end of the season.
Cheick Doucouré, the cowboy
The Lensois milieu was in the oven and the mill in Saint-Ouen. He was able to stand out when it came time to take the lead. Well served by Corentin Jean, the Malian drew his revolver to shoot the opposing goalkeeper (48th).
Special mention for Corentin Jean which was particularly good in transition (48th, 75th) and the Lensoise formation since Benjamin Gomel, former of the Racing reserve, allowed the Red Star to gain confidence in the first period. The player was also congratulated by his former coach, Franck Haise, at the end of the meeting.
