Lensois coach, Franck Haise, gave details on the goal that he and his players are setting for themselves in the Champions League.
Tuesday evening, on behalf of the 3e day of the Champions League, RC Lens receives PSV Eindhoven in Bollaert. The Sang et Or have the possibility of taking a big step towards the round of 16 of the competition by gaining the upper hand over the Dutch. But is 8th grade the objective set by this training?
“Stay true to what we can produce”
The question was asked this Monday at a press conference to Franck Haise. The Artésiens coach had a response, but one full of humility: “Beyond pleasure, the objective is to remain faithful to what we can produce, what we must give. If we had won 1-0 against Le Havre, I would still not have been satisfied with the content. That’s what interests me. »

The French vice-champion remains on a frustrating performance in Ligue 1 against Le Havre. His trainer assures that this part is already forgotten by his troops: “The idea is to take the matches as they come. We have been focused on Le Havre and now on PSV. We are not trying to reassure ourselves, the Le Havre match is behind us. What matters is the preparation of PSV. You have to learn lessons from each encounter but the one who counts is the one who comes. There are positive things. »
Haise satisfied with his squad
RC Lens is not too used to playing every three days. Haise wants to believe, however, that this will not be a problem: “With the sequence of matches, plus the fact that we have internationals, it brings a different thought. There is more turnover this year. I have a group with a larger core group than in other years. »
