Franck Haise (coach of Lens, winner 3-1 at Auxerre):
“I suspected with the week that we had made that the players who made up the team would be very serious until the end. This is also ethics. It's true that we had a lot of chances. When you win and the opponent goes down, when it's the last day, it's always special. 84 points to finish 2nd, this has only happened twice and never at the club. It was an outstanding performance, the players responded from start to finish and it's a strong signal. We were at 62 points last year and we were already happy and proud of our season. On the conceded goal, Leca changes his gesture on his raise. We then expected a hectic end to the match but his partners made up for the error. That's the collective. Lois Openda scores just as I was about to make the switch. It is good for the symbolism to exceed the record of Roger Boli who had scored 20 goals in 1993-1994”.
