Objective of the season: to confirm
As a promoted, RC Lens had already achieved an incredible season by finishing the 2020-21 exercise in 7th place and fighting for a qualification in the Europa Conference Conference until the 38th day. For Franck Haise, the hardest part begins: to obtain such good results during a season where his Blood and Gold will no longer be seen as THE surprise of the season. Under these conditions and with an almost unchanged squad, it would be a real performance to finish in the Top 10.
The reinforcement to follow: Deiver Machado
Isiaga Sylla returned to Toulouse after a mixed season, Racing was looking for a new left piston to compete with Massadio Haïdara. It was finally the Colombian from Téfécé who landed. Arrived in France last summer from Ghent and international in his country (2 capes), the native of Tado is the perfect piston for the artesian game, he who comes out of a season with 2 goals and 6 assists in 35 matches. Ready to discover the elite? We will find out soon enough …
The angry question: was the 2020-21 Sang et Or season a fluke?
Present in the five best Ligue 1 coaches for the UNFP trophies in May, Franck Haise is today a recognized technician. His RC Lens offered a pleasant game, clearly identifiable, which earned him the adoption of the Blood and Gold people. There remains a small uncertainty concerning the educator: was it the luck and the freshness of the beginner that generated such a success in the elite of French football?
If he wants to register permanently in the list of accomplished coaches of Ligue 1, Haise must demonstrate over time. A challenge also set for his team which we expected little more than the maintenance in 2020-21 and which has risen in the race for Europe. The good news is that the northerner coach clearly does not take himself for another and he demonstrated it again in an interview with the Voice of Sports this week: “We have to evolve all the time. In the intentions, our way of living, we cannot be content to do the same thing again, because we will never do the same thing again. You have to be ready. If we start playing with the medal around our necks, we won’t get very far ”. Humility is precisely a good working basis to achieve this (delicate) objective of confirming that the beautiful Lensoise season was not just a fluke with no tomorrow …
The presentation of RC Lens
After being the surprise of the 2020-21 season by being promoted, the Sang et Ors will have to confirm. The task is not easy for Franck Haise but the Artésiens will be able to benefit from the return of the public to Bollaert-Delelis to be galvanized.
