After the 1-9 defeat of RC Lens against Como, Actu Foot relayed the criticisms of Walid Acherchour towards Yannick Cahuzac and Jean-Louis Leca, whom he vehemently confronted. He contrasted the criticisms directed at Toppmöller—a game plan deemed unsuitable and a message that wasn't getting through—with Lens's performance, claiming that the former coach must be laughing in front of his television. Acherchour denounced the players' lack of reaction during the 90 minutes at Bollaert, despite the presence of Cahuzac, whom he described as a unifying figure. He deemed the team's performance, from the coach to the staff and players, unacceptable. He also stated that the only victory in the Champions League, even achieved with eleven against ten, was with Toppmöller, while Lens had suffered three defeats without him. #RCLens #FootFrançais #LigueDesChampions (translated)
