THE
RC Lens continues to surprise and display impressive regularity. This Saturday evening, the Lensois largely won against the
Paris FC with a clear score of 5-0. A success which allows them to regain the head of the ranking, taking advantage of the defeat of
Paris Saint-Germain
on the lawn of
Stade Rennais FC (one point ahead of PSG).
A few days before the end of the championship, the Sang et Or can no longer advance in disguise: they now establish themselves as serious contenders for the title, in direct competition with PSG. In the show
Rothen ignites on
RMC,
Eric Di Meco also wanted to underline the feat that a possible Lensois coronation would represent:
“We have the right to say that, despite Lens’ good season and despite the fact that we all think that they will play it to the end, if they do, it is an achievement. Remember last summer they had to sell. The president is forced to scale back. Everyone is wondering how he will finish the season with the financial problems. For me, if they do it, it will be the greatest achievement in Ligue 1 of the Qatari era.
A similar fate at LOSC 2020-2021?
In the show
Greg’s Team on
The L’Équipe channel,
Karim Bennani compared the current season of Lensois to that of
LOSC Lille during the 2020-2021 financial year, marked by an unexpected title.
He notably mentioned the ability of the northern club to relaunch or reveal certain players, like
Burak Yılmaz And
Jonathan David at the time.
Today, Lens can count on experienced profiles like
Florian Thauvin And
Allan Saint-Maximinbut also on the renewal of
Wesley Saidthe real X factor of this season. Long considered an irregular attacker, particularly during his time at Toulouse, he is now performing one of the best exercises of his career.
At the head of the team,
Pierre Sage seems to have found the formula to enhance its squad. It now remains to be seen whether this exceptional journey will end with a historic title.
