Lens coach Franck Haise was disappointed by the behavior of his team, held to a draw (0-0) on Friday at La Mosson against Montpellier, at the opening of the 15th day of Ligue 1.
For him, his team perhaps had the lead at the European deadline against Sevilla on Tuesday at Bollaert.
“Is Tuesday’s game a trot? Often the matches before the European Cup confrontations were difficult. That’s not an excuse. We will have to show a different face on Tuesday if we want to hope for something for this last Champions League match,” said Haise.
The northern technician did not appreciate the collective behavior of his team.
“He lacked a little bit of everything. There was better to do with accuracy and speed. At all levels of the team. In terms of performance, we are missing a lot. I am disappointed with our performance. We all missed out, even if we had opportunities. There aren’t many players who have been at their level.”
Despite everything, he kept some of the positive from this draw in Montpellier. “Our streak continues, this is our tenth match without defeat. We didn’t concede any goals again. There are some positives to take away. But on Tuesday, we will have to raise the level. We all want to be at this match. We all want to have a big match. I want to continue to experience European Cup matches. If we can play a few more matches, it allows the club to grow. I want to be in the European Cup in 2024,” he concluded.
