Author of a solid performance in defense, Jonathan Gradit did not shy away from his pleasure after the Sang et Or’s exploit against Arsenal (2-1) on Tuesday.

RC Lens struck a (very) big blow on Tuesday against Arsenal. Two weeks after bringing home a draw from their trip to Seville, the French vice-champions created the feat by defeating the Gunners (2-1), offering Bollaert a dream evening.

A major architect of this victory, Jonathan Gradit fully enjoyed the performance of Franck Haise’s men. “It really was the perfect evening. We have come a long way because we conceded a goal quite quickly. It shows our character, and our start to the season. At this moment, we are raising our heads. We are going to enjoy this evening. We wanted to liven up this match in front of our audience. That’s what happened, we looked them straight in the eye.” he savored.

And the former Caen resident recalls the path traveled by the Lensois.“You would have told me that four years ago, when we were facing Ligue 2 teams, without disrespecting them, I would have said to you: “It’s not possible. » It’s a waking dream, he insisted. We have a lot of ambitions in this group. We must not skip steps, we will be expected when we return. There are still quite a few matches left. We started well, and we are keen to stay on this path. »
