Franck Haise’s tactical change after 20 minutes of play
Against LOSC and Clermont, Franck Haise had changed his plans and made his team evolve with a defensive line at 4. Since taking the reins of RC Lens in 2020, the Lensois technician had never sacrificed his defense at 3 , a symbol of his success, but he wanted to innovate. The good performance against Clermont last week had also confirmed her idea. But after twenty minutes this evening in Bollaert, it was rather the Angevins who dominated the debates. To remedy this, the Lensois returned to basics and then rolled out, until the final victory (3-0). The first two Sang et Or goals came less than ten minutes after this reshuffle. Paid tactic!
The untenable Lois Openda
What generosity! The Belgian never spares his efforts and if he asked to leave in the 84th minute, it was because he simply had nothing left to give. Franck Haise replaced him and was able to congratulate him because after being called up again for the selection with the Red Devils, the 23-year-old striker put the Angevin rearguard through an ordeal. Two goals full of mischief that say everything about the player he is. On the first goal, his hook on Camara is delicious, as is his run behind the latter for his second goal. His coolness is also proof that he has everything a great. With 14 goals after 28 days, he can see far.
FLOPS
Angevin resignation
Difficult to overwhelm the Angevins. The infernal negative spiral in which they are mired this season does not make anyone smile. After twenty really solid minutes with initiatives and some necessary risk-taking, the Scoists suffered the pots of Lensois tactical change. While they looked set up, Abdul Samed’s light pass for Seko Fofana shattered their intentions to leave. The second goal a few minutes later sealed them definitively and the SCO was completely discouraged. Ligue 2 is close and we will have to be strong in our minds so as not to flinch further. 10 games left.
Ousmane Camara’s nightmare
Ousmane Camara’s ordeal ended in the 55th minute. His coach, Alexandre Dujeux, preferred to take him out. It must be said that in front of him, he had a hell of a client: a poison named Loïs Openda. The former Paris FC defender was voluntary in the first twenty minutes like a confident ball comeback but defensively, he had a hard time containing the Belgian striker’s repeated calls and runs . His match ended when Openda hooked him on the second Lensois goal. Returning from the locker room, he was once again overtaken by the northern striker and the damage was done, 3-0.
