  • RC Strasbourg again bowed to the Meinau.

    It was Lens who came to win (2-1) on behalf of the 30th day of Ligue 1.

  • “We shot more on goal, more on target, more centered but we lost.

    We missed a bit of technical quality and success in front of goal, ”lamented Thierry Laurey.

  • “There are seasons when things don't work out […] Now, we expect to struggle to the end and maintenance is the only objective.

    Racing is really capable of anything this year.

    But we are still working hard, that's what will save us, ”explains Dimitri Liénard.

At the Meinau stadium,

“We can't wait for it to end…” RC Strasbourg supporters can only be in a hurry at the end of the season.

Let it end, and quickly.

You have to understand them: they have been going through all the emotions for 30 days in Ligue 1 now.

After the pride of success against Monaco (1-0) then the disappointment in Rennes (0-1), it is the frustration that was invited this Sunday.

RC Lens came to win at Meinau (2-1) in a match that will therefore leave some regrets on the Alsatian side.

Because the players of Thierry Laurey have at least had three big opportunities to equalize: by Ajorque (51st), Thomasson (86th) and Mitrovic (91st).

But Leca, the blood and gold goalkeeper, has pulled out all the stops.

“We shot more on goal, more on target, more centered but we lost.

We missed a bit of technical quality and success in front of goal, ”lamented the Strasbourg coach.

It was not the first time that he pointed out the lack of realism this year.

It's one of the many evils that has plagued his team since September, with individual mistakes.

The RC Lens brought to light another: the lack of creativity and background. Where the Sang et Or have sometimes displayed all their mastery and talent with the ball, the Blues struggled with their slow and readable construction .

"We expect to struggle until the end"

"It was hard to practice correct football on a catastrophic ground", defends the midfielder Dimitri Liénard, without hiding behind the state of the lawn.

“In the intensity, the state of mind, we do not have much to be ashamed of.

But of course we have to do better technically, ”he adds, without hiding that the club's situation is worrying.

Before starting the final sprint, his Racing, 15th in the standings, is only 5 points ahead of the current barrage, Nantes.

"A few days ago, we were also looking forward but today, you have to look at the results of the others", continues "Dim".

“There are seasons when things don't work out […] Now, we expect to struggle to the end and maintenance is the only objective.

Racing is really capable of anything this year.

But we are still at the limit, that's what will save us.

»Answer by May 23 and the last day.

"Can't wait for it to end ..."
