RC Lens, winner of the Stade de Reims on Saturday at Bollaert (2-0) as part of the 16th day of Ligue 1, continues its spectacular rise in the standings.
Before the matches scheduled for this Sunday, the Sang et Or occupy 5th with 26 points (seven wins, five draws, four wins). Deprived of many players, Franck Haise had to make several important changes in his starting lineup against the Reims club. Facundo Medina (suspended) and Jonathan Gradit (injury) were notably replaced by Abdukodir Khusanov and Massadio Haïdara in defense. “We still have some benchmarks for 4 years at 3 and I have efficient players. Reims had also played a lot at 5 recently. That’s 11 games without a loss with this defense. Afterwards we can always change. But for now, the coach is still me! I’m not stopping myself from moving to 4, but at the moment, working on that isn’t the easiest thing to do, even if the players have the ability to adapt.” confided Franck Haise after the meeting.

Wow back to Nice?
Despite the sequence of matches, the Sang et Or technician is convinced that his team has the weapons to maintain this pace throughout the season. “For a year and a half, we have had the ability to defend intelligently, to know how to be pragmatic when necessary. There have been 7 clean sheets in the last 8 matches, and to do it especially against an opponent who has always scored except against Paris, that shows something. It was difficult but we left them with less and less to eat. We have this experience which means we can bend without breaking”he admitted.
Haise also gave news of his striker Elye Wahi, summoned to the group on Friday evening but suffering the next day. “We will see if tomorrow the fever has subsided, or the day after tomorrow, but I think he will be able to be with us on Wednesday”concluded the Lensois coach.
