  • Lens, which remained on two defeats, drew (1-1) in Nantes this Sunday.

  • The Lensois have found their way into the game at the start of the season without showing enough incisiveness around the Nantes penalty area.

  • From Wednesday, it is a new trip to Marseille which awaits RC Lens in a late match.

Franck Haise did well to listen to his player before the meeting at La Beaujoire.

“Gaël [Kakuta] told me that he always scored in Nantes, that's why I didn't release him!

In the 81st minute, the Lensois striker, who had sent his penalty into the clouds in the first half (33rd), was rewarded for his efforts and equalized by deceiving Alban Lafont at close range.

A goal synonymous with a draw (1-1) for a northern training, very enterprising, especially in the first period, in Nantes, this Sunday.

Remaining on two setbacks, RC Lens is frankly reassured against the Canaries entrenched in defense.

“I did not need to be reassured even if I do not like losing two games in a row, explained Lensois coach Franck Haise in a post-game press conference.

I wasn't worried about what I saw in training.

Given our stranglehold, this point of draw makes sense.

“Just like what he showed at the start of the year, RC Lens made his mark on the match and imposed a fluid style of play up to the opposing 30 meters.

Much more messy around the Nantes goal, however.

Marseilles?

"If Nîmes did it ..."

Proof of this is that the Lensois had a monopoly on the ball (60% of the time), but neither did they panic in a Nantes rearguard, however feverish.

Alban Lafont was a little scared on a distant free kick from Jonathan Clauss (68th), but that's about all in terms of opportunities ... It's little, very little.

“Like the missed penalty, he missed the last gesture, regrets Jonathan Clauss, at fault on the penalty conceded by RCL.

In construction, it was good, but it would have taken more control at the level of the last pass and the last move.

[…] To leave here with zero points would have been terrible for us because we didn't have much to blame ourselves on the content.

"

After 19 days, the Lensois - promoted as a reminder are comfortably installed in ninth place in the League with one game less.

And this meeting will also take place from Wednesday (9 p.m.) at the Vélodrome stadium against a Marseille, beaten (1-2) on Saturday on his lawn by Nîmes, the barrage.

What to give ideas to this Lensoise training (re) become "player", according to Clauss, at Beaujoire this Sunday?

"If Nîmes got there, I don't see why not us, we wouldn't get there!"
