Lens-Lorient: Wahi explique sa célébration rageuse à la Messi facve aux supporteurs

Un but vécu comme un immense soulagement. Conspué par une partie du public lensois à Bollaert il y a deux semaines contre Clermont en raison de sa maladresse, Elye Wahi a répondu sur cette même pelouse ce vendredi en ouvrant le score face à Lorient, en ouverture de la 32e journée de Ligue 1 (2-0).

Peu avant l’heure de jeu et alors que Lens semblait incapable de marquer, Nampalys Mendy a récupéré le ballon dans les pieds de Tiémoué Bakayoko, fautif, avant qu’Elye Wahi ne trompe Yvon Mvogo (57e). “Je sais qu’il y a une partie du public qui ne m’a jamais laissé tomber. Ça fait plaisir, ça me permet de garder la tête haute avec l’aide de mes coéquipiers, du staff et du coach. Il faut touours continuer à travailler, la saison n’est pas finie. J’espère que je continuerai comme ça”, a confié l’attaquant au micro de Prime Video.

Il sera suspendu la semaine prochaine

Ce but a été vécu comme une libération par le numéro 9 lensois, très expressif au moment de sa célébration. Souvent en difficulté cette saison (seulement huit buts), le buteur a enlevé son maillot pour le montrer aux supporters, puis a été entouré par ses coéquipiers, qui l’avaient ardemment défendu après le match contre les Clermontois. Avant de trouver le chemin des filets, l’international espoir avait gâché une nouvelle opportunité, ce qui ne l’a pas empêché de relever la tête.

“J’ai eu le soutien de mes partenaires. Brice Samba m’a dit de ne pas baisser la tête et que j’en aurai une autre qui devrait finir au fond. C’est ce que j’ai fait. Le carton jaune ? C’est pas grave, le prochain match (contre Rennes) j’étais déjà suspendu. Je serai là pour le dernier match à domicile contre Montpellier”, prévient l’ancien joueur du MHSC, joueur le plus cher de l’histoire des Sang et Or (35 millions d’euros).

À l’image de son buteur, Lens s’est montré maladroit ce vendredi mais repart toutefois avec les trois points et une victoire cruciale dans la course à l’Europe. Ce succès permet aux Sang et Or de confirmer leur sixième place (49 points), synonyme pour l’instant de barrages d’accession à la Ligue Europa Conférence, cinq points devant Marseille (septième) et Lyon (huitième), qui ont un match de plus à disputer.
