The RC Lens has established itself on the lawn of AJ Auxerre (2-1) this Saturday in Ligue 1.. A success torn in additional time thanks to a goal from Abdallah Sima, while the Sang and Gold have evolved ten for more than a quarter of an hour, after the expulsion of Ismaëlo Ganiou.

After the meeting, the Lensois coach Pierre Sage delivered his analysis. And this positive result, which allows the Artesians to climb in 4ᵉ place, is far from fully satisfying it.

“The worst thing we have done is to have marked”

The Franc-Comtois technician did not appreciate the content of the meeting: “Joy is a strong word, I am lucid about the match we have delivered. I am not very happy with our performance. I had alerted our players at halftime, the warning was free today. I hope that we will remember the lesson. »»

Sage notably pointed out a form of passivity of his team after the opening of the Odsonne Édouard score, which occurred before the quarter of an hour of play.“(…) The worst thing we have done was to have scored a goal because we stopped playing afterwards. The best is to have gone to 10. It's weird and paradoxical, but mental springs are very important in this sport “said the former Lyon coach.
