The coach of Racing Club de Lens did not hide his relief after his team’s first success in Ligue 1 this season, this Sunday, against Toulouse (2-1).
The encouraging draw won in Seville may have laid the foundations of a new dynamic for the Racing Club de Lens. Four days after this convincing result, the Sang et Or finally unlocked their victory counter in Ligue 1. We had to wait until the end of September, but the Lensois achieved a precious success by defeating Toulouse this Sunday (2-1 ).
“ Victory always feels good, a lot of good, especially with these particular scenarios, explained Franck Haise to the press. I wouldn’t say we were ultra-dominant, but not far off. When Toulouse scores a goal on its first opportunity, you have to have mental resources. Wesley’s goal sends another message at half-time, which is therefore made easier with the equalizer. The requirement for my players is based on the objective of the means. They are there to win matches, that’s the most important thing“.
“They set the cursor high”
The RC Lens coach especially wanted to congratulate his players for the temperament displayed. “ In this three-game week, they have set the cursor quite high. This is what I expect from them, no more, no less. We are not necessarily relieved, but happy to win. We have to be strong, stay focused, whatever happens. It’s not easy when negative scenarios repeat themselves, but that’s the players’ great strength. They were rightly rewarded“, concluded Haise.
