Etienne – Lens: Saïd’s nice compliment to Fofana
RC Lens won 2-1 at St-Etienne, this Saturday, for the 21st day of Ligue 1. Lensois captain Seko Fofana scored the winning goal in added time. His teammate Wesley Saïd praised him after this precious artesian success.
Seko Fofana is exceptional. The Lensois captain again offered victory to his team on the gong on the lawn of Saint-Etienne this Saturday (2-1). The artesian environment is definitely the fit man on the side of RC Lens. “He’s the captain and someone who brings us back this rage. He’s also a technical leader, he carries his status wonderfully. He scores twice in the last moments, we feel that he is good and that he is in a good season. We are happy for him. The most important thing is the collective, even if Seko prevails most of the time”, named Wesley Saïd after the meeting.
Mr 95th
His cannon shot scored after 94 minutes and 32 seconds is also the latest scored in the course of play by a Lensois player in Ligue 1 since Opta analyzed the competition. Two weeks ago, Fofana also turned into a savior in the Coupe de France, snatching the penalty shootout against Lille in the last moments, before sending his team to the round of 16.
Despite a less attractive game, Lens ensured the main thing by pocketing the three points. “It’s an important victory. Sometimes you have to know how to be a little less good and still manage to win. We show character. We are not only good football players, we are also players who put your buttocks on the ground to put yourself at the service of the collective. We weren’t very pretty to see but the main thing was there today”, continued Saïd. Three points which allow Lens to temporarily return to a victory for Marseille, 3rd.
