After a victorious first against Panathinaikos (2-1) in the Conference League play-offs, Will Still loved the atmosphere at the Bollaert stadium.
It was only a Conference League play-off first leg, but there was a real European flavour on Thursday night as RC Lens took on Panathinaikos. The Blood and Gold won 2-1 against the Greeks, despite Facundo Medina receiving a red card in the first half, and Will Still liked his team’s performance.
“We learned tonight, we learned a lot. We saw how far we were capable of going in the efforts and intensity that we want to put in. We’re going to take the positive, we’re going to stay calm. We have to go win there, and that’s what we’re going to try to do.”confided the Artois coach on Canal+ Foot after the match.
Will Still: “Feels like playing 14 or 15”
For the former Stade de Reims coach, it was the big debut at Bollaert in official competition, with the Lens colours. And the verdict is final. “It’s incredible, Will Still admits. Even at 10, you feel like you’re playing at 14 or 15, it’s exceptional.”
We will now have to get a good result in Greece in a week to offer new European evenings this season at this stage.
