The recent performance of RC Lens in the Ligue 1 has been a far cry from their triumphant victory over Arsenal in the Champions League last fall. Losing ground in the league standings, the team's inconsistency has led to frustration among its players.
Recent Struggles and Defeats
RC Lens has found it tough to secure victories in the Ligue 1 recently. Surprisingly, they have been defeated by teams lower in the rankings. This is a worrying trend, particularly considering the strength of the team's last year's performance.
A recent example of their struggle was evidenced in the game against Metz, a team threatened by relegation. This loss was unexpected and has further slipped RC Lens down the league standings.
Draw Against Le Havre
Adding to the woes of their recent defeats, RC Lens also had to settle for a draw in their recent clash against Le Havre. This highlights the team's inconsistency as it continues to lose ground in the league standings.
Streak of Poor Performance
In their last four Ligue 1 games, RC Lens has managed only one draw and has suffered three losses. This poor streak of performance stands in stark contrast to their victory against Arsenal in the Champions League last fall.
Player’s Frustration
Angelo Fulgini, a player for RC Lens, has expressed his frustration regarding the team's recent performance. He criticised the team's attitude and acknowledged their mistakes on the pitch that led to the deserving defeats. Fulgini was clear to dismiss any suggestion of underestimation of the opposition, pointing instead to poor execution as the cause of their recent losses. His anger with the current situation is indicative of the dissatisfaction within the team.
