“It’s a situation that raises questions”, an anomaly denounced to RC Lens

Pierre Sage does not understand why RC Lens, who eliminated Toulouse on Tuesday in the Coupe de France, must face Brest on Friday in Ligue 1.

Here’s RC Lens again. The northern club, which qualified on Tuesday evening for the final of the Coupe de France at the expense of Toulouse (4-1), will travel to Brest on Friday for the opening of the 31e day of Ligue 1. A sustained pace which does not please the Sang et Or coach.

While he would have preferred to play Saturday or Sunday,
“like teams that haven’t played this week”Pierre Sage is surprised by this calendar decided by the LFP. “It’s a situation that raises questions. I confess to you that I don’t understand”he declared at a press conference.

“We will go to Brest with the freshness that will be ours”

“We will go to Brest to win with the freshness that will be ours and the players who will be availablehe added. We are in a situation where we could anticipate a disaster scenario but we don’t want to have negative things in our heads. So we’re going to go there to win. »

Before this meeting, the Lensois occupy second place in the championship, now four lengths behind PSG, who got the better of Nantes on Wednesday evening (3-0). The Champions League extends its arms to them, and the Coupe de France would be the icing on the cake.
