Adrien Thomasson (Lens attacking midfielder, after the 2-1 success against Arsenal, in the Champions League, Tuesday): “We experienced a bit of a roller coaster. I felt good at the start of the match, but on the goal conceded (Gabriel Jesus, 14th), I was clearly at fault. It was hard for a few moments, but we had to quickly switch because in this case, you either bounce back immediately or you sink. I managed to sort things out and my goal, where I felt “in the zone” as they say in tennis, very relaxed, gave a lot of confidence to me and the team. This is undoubtedly the most symbolic goal of my career. »
“Our victory is deserved”
“In the second half, where Brice Samba made some great saves, we were really consistent and the victory was deserved in the end. We can say that the match in Seville (1-1) represents a real turning point in our season for the moment. Since then, we have found color and we are again very difficult to play. Now we have to think about the derby against Lille (Sunday, 5:05 p.m.) and as we said in the locker room, it’s a very good thing that we have to go on to another big match.”
“My first goal in C1 will remain forever engraved in my memory”
Elye Wahi, Lens striker
Elye Wahi (Lens striker, author of the second goal, 69th): “We all had an exceptional match. My first goal in the Champions League will forever be etched in my memory. It really made me happy to see the Bollaert stadium explode on my goal because I’m not used to it. On the first goal (Thomasson, 25th), I managed to control it high enough to give him the ball afterwards. The start of the season was complicated for us and for me, but I feel better and better and I find more and more automatisms with my teammates. »
