Like the confidences of coach Franck Haise, there is reason to be very surprised by the start of the season for the Racing club of Lens. And the Champions League is coming.
We no longer recognize them. Attractive runners-up to PSG last season, the Lensois find themselves in tough times after five days of Ligue 1. Goalkeeper Brice Samba speaks of a “zone of turbulence” and “remains convinced that things will get better”, as he confided in mixed zone, Saturday evening after the defeat against Metz (0-1).
The start of the season for Franck Haise and his players looks like a real nightmare with… only one point taken. “ Nobody in France could say that of the 15 points to be gained, Lens would only have had one », wondered the consultant Kevin Diaz on RMC.
The Lensois coach doesn’t say any better. “ All clubs have crises. I didn’t think I’d be there », Confided Franck Haise in a post-match press conference.
“ I knew it would be another season, certainly more complicated. But, she is therelike that, Haise continues. I told the players‘I ask you two things: go out with your head up.’ Tomorrow morning we continue. »
The rest will not be easy. Wednesday evening, Lens will play on the field of Sevilla FC on the first day of the Champions League.
