“I try often and it paid off today”
Mamadou Sangare looks back on brilliant goal against Strasbourg
In a tense match against RC Strasbourg Alsace in Ligue 1, Mamadou Sangaré saved RC Lens from defeat (1-1).
The Mali midfielder leveled with a clean shot from the edge of the box. He doesn’t consider it a blessing:
I try shots like this often. Sometimes they don’t go in, but today I was focused and it hit the mark. Most importantly, it got us back into the game.
Lens had to dig deep against a Strasbourg team that was fierce in the showdown. Sangare admitted it was tough:
We knew it was going to be a physical fight. They put a lot of effort into it. We try to respond and make points.
He is already looking to the future, focusing on the next game against Lyon. It’s a mature message that reflects the growing influence of a player who has become increasingly important in Lens’ midfield.
