Lens – Lille: the Sang et Or want to move the derby, the FFF closes the door! – National Foot

Zapping Foot National Top 10: the most loyal players in Ligue 1

What if the derby between Lens and Lille took place not this weekend but after the new health restrictions announced by the Prime Minister? In any case, this is the wish of the Blood and Gold, who directly reacted to Jean Castex’s speech yesterday. “The Racing Club de Lens informs that they have asked their future opponents in the Coupe de France and the FFF to reschedule their round of 16 to Sunday, January 2, 2022. A date on which 14 matches of the competition will already be held. This approach aims to allow clubs to benefit from an equitable implementation of government decisions, through similar conditions for the organization of meetings.“indicated the Lensois club via a press release.

A request that should logically be refused by the French Football Federation, indicates RMC Sport.

?Following the reprogramming request of the @RCLens, the @FFF stay firm. According to our information, no change will take place. Vannes-PSG is maintained on Monday, and the Lens-Lille derby on Tuesday. “Nothing will move”. @RMCsport #RMCLive #RCLLOSC
