Ligue 1: “I didn’t think I’d be there,” admits Franck Haise

Franck Haise, Lens coach, returned to his team’s defeat at home to Metz (0-1) on Saturday during the 5th day of Ligue 1: “I think we had a good first half . We were down 1-0 at the break. And the opponent retreated even further. Even though we had shots, possession, situations, crosses, we were narrow in this second half. When time passes, maintaining technical accuracy, lucidity, confidence is a little more complicated. I didn’t think I would be there, with one point out of fifteen. I knew it would be another season, certainly more complicated. But, she is there, like that. We have to face it. The first one to face is me. I told them (the players), I ask you two things: come out with your head up. Tomorrow morning, (…) we continue.”
