Despite a promising start from Les Gones, they found themselves on the receiving end of a tactical masterclass from RC Lens coach Franck Haise, leading to a convincing win for the visitors. Haise, in a post-match interview with Prime Video, expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and provided reassuring news regarding Elye Wahi.
“When we win 3-0 at Lyon, especially in their good period, and with a rather controlled match, so yes, we are happy,” remarked Haise.
He highlighted the team’s strategy to limit the impact of Matic, emphasizing the key role played by David Pereira Da Costa in maintaining control.
The Lens coach attributed the success to the team’s maturity, a quality he stressed in their recent training sessions.
Reflecting on the team’s progress, Haise acknowledged their positive trajectory but also emphasized the need to address imperfections.
“We’ve done some good things in recent weeks, but when we come close to doing better, it means there are imperfections to erase,” he commented.
Looking ahead, Haise acknowledged the challenges posed by upcoming matches against formidable opponents Brest and Nice.
He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to face these challenges and welcomed the opportunity to play them at Bollaert.
Addressing concerns about Elye Wahi’s injury, Haise provided some reassurance, stating, “Elye Wahi? A small sprain in the shoulder, we will have to wait for the exams tomorrow.
He didn’t seem too worried at the end of the match.”
The victory propels RC Lens closer to the top, now trailing Monaco by three points, marking a significant step forward in their Ligue 1 campaign.
