As Racing Club de Lens enters an exciting and busy season, Franck Haise has called on his players not to rest on the last exercise.
In the ranks of Racing Club de Lens, the exceptional second place of last season is already ancient history. Water has flowed under the bridges since the end of spring, and the Sang et Or intend to leave with the fangs to tackle an exercise which will mark their big return to the Champions League.
In any case, this is the message that Franck Haise wanted to send to his players. ” Those who go back to the season with the praise of last season have not understood what football ishad dropped the coach of Lens in remarks granted to France 3 Nord-Pas-de-Calais. If you start playing with the medal around your neck, not only will it be a bit heavy, but it’s not the one that will make you run or progress.”
” The players are well aware, continued Franck Haise. I still have a number of experienced players, who are there to be relays. They know very well that what we have done is certainly magnificent and exceptional, but that is behind us. When everyone is retired, when they’ve finished their careers, they can turn around and look at the pictures. I’m not here to look at the pictures, but to keep moving forward“, concluded the one who was voted best coach of the 2022-23 season in Ligue 1.
A message to put into perspective after the first day of Ligue 1, where the Sang et Or collapsed during the second period in Brest after leading 2-0 (2-3). Answer from this Sunday evening, against Stade Rennais (8:45 p.m.).
