Lens: Franck Haise's satisfaction after the victory against Angers

Racing Club Lens puts pressure on Olympique de Marseille. The artesian club, which easily won against SCO Angers (3-0) on the twenty-eighth day of Ligue 1, temporarily occupies second place in the standings ten games from the end of the 2022-2023 season. At the end of the meeting Franck Haise, coach of the northern club, was satisfied. The technician also announces that he wants to “bring Lens back to the European Cup”.

“At the start of the match, we couldn’t manage to trigger the high pressures. Even when we managed to trigger them, we were always at a distance. Angers easily found his pistons in the corridors to get out of the density. We had to move on thing. The players found certain habits, even if Florian Sotoca had to occupy the position of right piston. I know Florian’s game and tactical intelligence, I knew that he would adapt to this situation. We changed the game. He played a very good game. We have three wins and two draws in the last five games. There are a lot of positive aspects. We will go through the international break in good conditions. 57 points at this time of the season, that was our score two years ago at the end of the season… and it was already a good season. Four defeats in the last 40 matches, that shows great consistency. I have in mind? To bring the club back to the European Cup. We don’t hide it. We have always been ambitious,” he said at a post-match press conference.

Racing Club de Lens, which remains five games unbeaten (three wins and two games), will have to confirm its excellent momentum after the international break. The artesian club will travel to the lawn of Stade Rennais, Saturday April 1 at 9 p.m., on the occasion of the twenty-ninth day of Ligue 1. A meeting which will, of course, be followed live on Foot-National.
