Florian Sotoca (Lens striker, after the victory against Reims 2-1, Friday) “It’s extraordinary, after the penalty and the red card, we had to be solid above all and that’s what we managed to do. It’s magic the power of Bollaert and the collective. I don’t know if we really realize what we’re doing, it’s an exceptional season, no one was expecting us here. After the matches in Monaco, Toulouse and Marseille, it was difficult to bounce back, but we did it again tonight, it proves that we are a great team that is maturing. We were strong and we knew that with our offensive strength we could score at any time, we pulled together and it was a great victory. »

We gave everything and we are all very proud of ourselves. »
