RC Lens owes its fine season to its game which is so pleasant to watch, but also to its iron defence. Which is found symbolized by two men: the goalkeeper Brice Samba (29 years old, 34 games in L1 this season) and central defender Kevin Distinguish (24 years, 34 games and 1 goal in L1 this season). In the columns of L’Equipe, the first told of his funny relationship with the second.
“He’s the guy I get the most confused with. Our two characters clash. But if we fried, it’s for the good of the team, it’s because we’re demanding. We live side. Sometimes we come together. Kevin, it’s work, work, work. As I speak to you, I’ll bet you he’s still in the room (bet won according to The team, editor’s note). He’s very tough with himself, it’s brute force, it’s power. He aims very high and he gives himself the means,” explained the northern doorman about the central defender.
“He’s more than a perfectionist, he always wants to succeed in everything, the slightest duel, training… Sometimes I try to tell him that it’s not possible, but it doesn’t work too much…”, concluded Samba.
