At the end of a Lens-Metz (0-1) with a rather crazy scenario, Laszlo Bölöni found the Sang et Or particularly tired in the second half.
“It’s unfair and inexplicable that we don’t win but that’s how football is. » At the end of a one-sided encounter, which ended at 31 with shots to 2 in favor of the locals, RC Lens lost at home against FC Metz (0-1), Saturday evening, during of the 5th day of Ligue 1. A result which hurts, and which confirms that the dynamic is broken for the Sang et Or after their exceptional last season.
After the match, Lorraine coach Laszlo Bölöni noted that his team had been able to “not breaking down in unfavorable moments, a quality in which we have surpassed the Lensois”. “I also had the feeling that they were more tired than us in the second half. I’m not going to say that they gave up but they were more static than us in the game. Is it physical, I don’t know, but that’s my feeling.”to observe the one who coached Racing in 2011.
This subject was addressed by Franck Haise, who refutes his counterpart’s accusation. “I don’t have the feeling that we have declined physically, we are the team that runs the most in the championship,” replied the Artesian coach, relays La Voix du Nord. Let’s continue to work on believing in ourselves, I believe in my players. This season will be very complicated, perhaps until the end. I see them working, I see what they have given. »
However, the blow is hard to absorb for the Sang et Or, who remain in the red zone while they will attack the Champions League next week. “We are in a big zone of turbulence, it’s up to us to stay calm, above all, all together, advocated goalkeeper Brice Samba. That’s the only way to change that. When you have a little less confidence, it’s not easy, nor when you have a string of bad results. The group is made, it is only us who can get out of this situation. But I remain convinced that things will get better. »
“One point in five days is not worthy of RC Lens”Samba still added, in an observation which also hurts Franck Haise. “I didn’t think I would be there obviously, recognized the Lensois coach. I knew it would be another season, more complicated, the other having been so exceptional. The first one to face is me. I told them, ‘You have to go out with your head up, not with your head down that we’re solving problems.’ »
