Franck Haise after Lens’ loss to OM: “I know why they have the best defense in France”

“Your team sometimes seemed powerless against OM (2-0), how do you explain that?
What is certain is that OM’s victory is totally deserved even if we can go back on one or two facts. OM imposed a lot of control on us. Even when we recovered the ball higher, we had a lot of difficulty controlling the ball with a lot of technical errors. I know why they have the best defense in France.

What game facts are you referring to?
When I see the penalty, I wonder a lot. The VAR has a real utility, if it is used wisely…

To what do you attribute your team’s lack of accuracy in this meeting?
We recovered the ball low, with a lot of opposing density in front. We threw the ball too much sometimes or we lost it very quickly, especially in the first twenty-twenty-five minutes. It is also due to the opposing block which was very high. It gave us a lot of problems.

Haven’t your players been too fearful?
At first, we intended to go there but very quickly, as we didn’t always go together, the players said to themselves: ”we’re going to bend our backs, we’re going to evolve lower to avoid being pierced”. »
