On the eve of PSV-Lens, Franck Haise took stock of the start of the season for Elye Wahi, who can do much better with the Sang et Or.

One goal in the league, two in the Champions League. This is the balance sheet of the start of the season for Elye Wahi, who did good things with RC Lens, particularly in C1, and less good things. A normal situation for a player who still has a lot to grasp, according to Franck Haise.

“He came from a club which had playing principles, a system different from ours, recalled the Lensois coach to RMC. There are a number of things to be aware of. He also arrives at a club that plays in the Champions League, with repeated matches, busy weeks and he has the France Espoirs team on top of that. There is management of his physique, so that he maintains freshness as for other players. Learning when you are 20 years old happens in stages. But he listens very well. He has not yet acquired everything, but I see that things are moving and that is very positive. »

There is a paternalistic side in the speech of Franck Haise, who wants to support the development of Elye Wahi (21 years old), by explaining to him that he is still far from having reached his full potential. “Regularity is up to him to seek in his daily work. To be consistent every three days, you have to be consistent every day in training. These are points on which he is making progress, but he still has things to find. (…) He has talent, but still a lot of work to express all his talent”added the Artesian coach.
