Franck Haise (Lens coach, after the 3-0 win against Monaco): “I think it’s the best game of our season. I loved it. After 30 minutes, I wondered if we could keep this pace. We went on long enough. In front of us, there was Monaco, very comfortable outside. I thought it was a very big game. Loïs Openda is decisive on the three goals. He has been in good shape for a very long time. But everyone had a huge game.
There are so many strong teams with lots of points. We must continue to go until the end of this season, to try to make performances of this quality, and to have a reward. For the club, for people who love RC Lens. (Fireworks in the stands in the first half?) There’s only one place to have fireworks, and that’s the pitch. It’s up to the players to make them. The fans are there to support, not to shoot fireworks in a stadium.
