Winner 4-0 over FC Nantes this Saturday as part of the 10th day of Ligue 1, RC Lens was able to return to victory after 2 draws in Ligue 1. Which better highlights the good dynamic of the team since 8 meetings. At the end of the game, Franck Haise delivered his analysis of this precious victory, intelligently won by his players.
Lensois.com: Franck Haise, there was a lot of talk about offensive efficiency this week before the match. This Saturday evening you won by scoring 4 goals, your players therefore lived up to expectations…
However, nothing has changed. But we were more efficient. It’s football, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Of course I am satisfied. But beyond the result, 4-0 against Nantes who had just won 4 matches out of 5, which caused problems for many teams, especially for us in the first half, I am above all satisfied with the way we did swing the match. At half-time, it was far from won even if we had a few more chances. We felt that they were gaining the upper hand and that we absolutely had to regain the ball. For that, we had to do certain things in the offensive animations and the players did it very well.
Are you talking about Florian Sotoca in particular who played lower down?
Florian, Adrien (Thomasson)… We absolutely needed to spread out better to get out of their pressure, to get them to ask themselves the question: “How far do we follow?” » Either they accept the +1, or they try to match again but that means it becomes 1 against 1 on the last line.
“The team has moved up a notch tactically”
The team has moved up a notch with a Champions League match still in hand. Were you surprised?
The team did not move up a notch physically, but tactically, in the accuracy of their movements. In technical accuracy too but when there is accuracy of movements, it allows you to be more technically accurate because it leaves more time. There is also the confidence of the goals which leads the players to let go. Efforts become easy to do.
You are provisionally in the first part of the ranking. An important plus?
These are also 8 matches without defeat, with 4 wins and 4 draws, including the Champions League, or 3 matches. Maybe we could have even done a little better. Nothing is certain but for a while, we have found things that are more like us at all levels and tonight’s match proves it. Victories in this way, when you manage to change part of the match and have complete control, against a team which could be dangerous, it is certain that it must bring confidence but also the requirement to always do what that we have been doing for a while offensively and defensively.
