“Ole, olala, but what happened? We nagged them. It is now a tradition at Bollaert (and even outside, sometimes). After each victory, the players of RC Lens celebrate their success with their public, and in particular the Marek stand, by launching this song, which begins with murmurs before the stadium explodes. Sunday evening, after the convincing success against PSG, it was Franck Haise, the coach of the Sang et Or, who became master of ceremonies.
After having seen his name chanted by the supporters, the artesian coach, who was celebrating his hundredth match on the Lensois bench, therefore intoxicated Bollaert by launching the famous celebratory song. Asked by Prime Video after the match about this vocal performance, Franck Haise assured that “the rhythm was good. Life is a kif, when you play football, it’s a kif. We are not going to take the lead. Moments like that, you have to live them to the fullest and then basta ”.
“Lens very strong in the transition”
It was the culmination of a perfect evening for the RCL technician, who had prepared his match to perfection. “The players gave an exceptional performance,” he acknowledged. We answered all the problems, apart from the goal we conceded. We released the balls under pressure, we scored on a placed attack, we scored on a transition, we scored on a counter-pressing. We stayed calm and engaged. »
The performance of the Sang et Or was praised by Christophe Galtier, his opponent for the evening: “We knew their strengths. We knew that Lens was very strong in the transition. The positions were not respected, which gives the second goal. There may be a bit of annoyance because they were given two goals [le troisième but vient à la suite d’une perte de balle de Fabian Ruiz à l’entrée de la surface de réparation], but that does not detract from the quality of Lensoise. »
“The best coach in L1”
After the match, the Lens players were also ecstatic when it came to talking about their coach, like Jonathan Gradit who forms, with Facundo Medina and Kevin Danso, an impeccable defense (the best in L1): “For me, he is the best coach in Ligue 1 at the moment. There is no photo. It manages to renew itself each time. He does great things. We have a great understanding with him. »
Enough to dream big? “We are happy to be four points [du PSG], but we are especially happy to be at 40 points after 17 days, puts Franck Haise into perspective. Our objective is to continue to do what we do, whatever the opponent. Let’s continue to be ambitious in the game and we can have ambitions. But we are not going to compare ourselves to Paris… ”Indeed, Paris does not play as well.
