Asked about the current difficulties of RC Lens, Bixente Lizarazu remained optimistic for the rest of this season.
A 17th and penultimate place in the standings, a small point taken after 5 matches… The Racing Club de Lens is having a very delicate start to the season. Amazing runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain last spring, the Artesian club has been sorely lacking in success since the curtain rose. In difficulty in Ligue 1, the Sang et Or will plunge into the grueling and prestigious Champions League, with a trip to Seville next Wednesday.
In this worrying context, can Franck Haise’s team raise their heads quickly? Bixente Lizarazu is convinced of this. Consultant for TF1, the 1998 world champion showed his optimism for the Lensois. “ Times are tough, 4 defeats out of 5 matches. Afterwards on the content of the match against Metz, it is obviously in the zone of truth, in defense and attack, that there is a problem“, conceded the former full-back.
“A little click to find”
Lizarazu believes that the Lensois have the necessary ingredients to regain their health, mentally and tactically. In intensity, intention and will, the work was done. They have kept 80% of their workforce, there is an adjustment to be made, he pointed out. There is a little trigger to find, I think they will succeed in doing it“, concluded the ex-French international this Sunday.
