• They don't stop anymore!

    RC Strasbourg players beat Bordeaux on Wednesday (5-2) and signed their fifth unbeaten game in Ligue 1.

  • How far can they go?

    "We can at least enjoy it until Christmas!"

    », Replied Captain Dimitri Liénard.

  • “We are taking the right path, it's going in the right direction.

    Everything is based on trust, you have to maintain it because you can do great things when you have it, ”coach Julien Stéphan told him.

At the Meinau stadium in Strasbourg,

“Tonight is the European Cup!

Tonight is the European Cup ”.

The supporters of RC Strasbourg sang it on Wednesday evening at the Meinau.

Now they dream of it.

And why not ?

This morning, their Racing is sixth in Ligue 1, potentially qualifying for the very sexy Europa League Conference.

Above all, the Alsatian team seems to be on a real dynamic since the arrival this summer of Julien Stéphan, replacing Thierry Laurey.

After the first days of adjustments, it now remains in five games without defeat.

Better, on 19 points taken (in eleven games) since mid-September and its setback in Lyon.

And best of all, she's super sexy in the game!

On Wednesday, the admittedly very weak Bordelais paid to see it.

Racing stuck five (5-2) to them.

A new rouste after that distributed to Metz (3-0), Saint-Etienne (5-1) and Lorient (4-0).

This season, it's a show in Alsace!

“Today, there is real confidence in the team's attacking game,” confirms the coach.

“We have players who bring the ball well, others who are efficient.

In this second category, Ludovic Ajorque is apart.

The giant planted another brace on Wednesday, bringing his total to 8 goals since the opening of the championship.

And you have to see his second achievement ... A perfect crosshead nearly 10 meters from the Bordeaux goal!

The blue No. 25 could even have planted a hat-trick if he had not let Kevin Gameiro take the penalty, him the usual attendant in the exercise.

“Ludo felt that Kevin needed it (after his failure against Reims on November 21).

That sums up a lot of things about this locker room, about this mentality in the team, ”appreciates Julien Stéphan, who once again saw his troops return to the game.

As in Monaco again on Sunday (1-1), as in Reims ten days earlier (1-1) or even in Nantes at the beginning of November even outnumbered (2-2).

This Racing never admits defeat!

"We feel liberated players"

“There is confidence, serenity, belief in what we are capable of doing.

The latest positive experiences have given us even more strength, ”summarizes the former Stade Rennais technician, who has given this collective a real identity.

Based on pressing, intensity but also thanks to a very precise playing system: the 3-5-2 (or 5-3-2) with two real pistons on each side.

On the right, Guilbert signed two assists on Wednesday and surfed on his excellent start to the season when, on the left, Caci and Liénard provided their offensive mark. Behind them, the Djiku-Nyamsi-Le Marchand or Perrin trio is still permeable (22 goals conceded) but plays its role in the revival. And in the midfield, the coach managed to resuscitate the talented Sanji Prcic, in the closet during the Laurey era, and now a real hub of an ambitious and pleasant game.

“We are taking the right path, it's going in the right direction.

Everything is based on trust, you have to maintain it because you can do great things when you have it, ”continues Julien Stéphan.

“You can feel the liberated players, who take great pleasure in sharing things with each other.

It is not Dimitri Liénard who will say the opposite.

"We do not calculate, we give our all," says the captain, without wanting to limit Strasbourg's ambition.

"We can at least enjoy it until Christmas!"

And maybe much longer.
