The head coach of the French team "Lens," Pierre Sage, commented on his team's achievement of reaching first place in the championship standings for the first time in many years. This result was made possible by a 2-1 victory over "Angers" on Sunday.
"This is a very joyous moment for us, but being in first place after the 14th round might not be enough to enrich our resume," the coach said with a laugh after the match. Despite leading 2-0 in the final stages of the match, the team conceded a goal and missed several clear opportunities, which left Sage dissatisfied.
"We need to learn to manage games better so we don’t find ourselves in such tough situations at the end of matches," said the coach to Le Figaro. "We still have room for improvement, and we will always strive forward until we reach the peak of our potential." According to Sage, it was initially planned to achieve the 31-point mark around February or March.
"We did not expect to be here at this time. We are ahead of our plans.
However, we need to be cautious to ensure this does not turn into a 'Tortoise and the Hare' story and will observe developments patiently." "Lens" is closely followed by "PSG" with 30 points, while "Marseille" has 29 and "Lille" holds 26 points.
