This Saturday evening, for the 16th day of Ligue 1, RC Lens won with a score of 2 goals to 0 against Stade de Reims. A Lens success at the end of a contested match rich in opportunities for both sides. A match that Will Still did not appreciate due to the defeat of his team but especially the refereeing of Mr. Letexier.
In a post-match press conference, the Reims coach revealed the referee’s comments about him. » Is this my last away match? That’s what the referee told me at the end of the match, why I found it funny of him or not funny at all. (…) What did he say to me when I complained about the refereeing? He said to me: “It will be better in England” something like that, I didn’t find it very appropriate, it’s uninteresting,” he announced to journalists.
Before completing: “It will not at all be my last away match in Reims. Unless the club fires me tomorrow. But I don’t think that’s planned. I am and will be the coach of Reims for many more months or years, I hope. I’m not going to stop until I’m told or until you send me to another club somewhere. I will do everything for Reims to finish in the top 9 and do more if possible. I hope our evening game put an end to your stories. »
Stade de Reims in the tough
Times are a little complicated on the Reims stadium. Will Still’s men are on a series of 2 consecutive defeats in Ligue 1. Over the last 5 matches, the Rémois have only taken 3 points. It was against Strasbourg on December 1 (2-1).
Yunis Abdelhamid’s partners will have to raise their heads after this setback against the Lensois to end the year 2023 in style this Wednesday against Le Havre for this 17th day. But watch out for Le Havre who are confident and who have just knocked down OGC Nice with a score of 3 goals to 1.
