He misses his transfer to RC Lens and receives support

Determined to leave RC Strasbourg this summer, Habib Diarra was in the sights of RC Lens. But in view of the demands of the Alsatians, the Sang et Or did not succeed in bringing the file to fruition. The player had difficulty recovering but everything is better for him since he gave victory to his team on Sunday in the Eastern derby. He was also able to count on the support of Patrick Vieira to manage the disappointment of his aborted transfer.

Habib Diarra found a smile again Sunday afternoon. Sole scorer in the derby won by Strasbourg against Metz, the young midfielder is over the moon. “ At the beginning, I wanted to cross, to put it hard in front of the goal, but I saw a little hole. It worked for me, I was on cloud nine. Scoring against Metz has a special flavor, of course. I’ve been experiencing these derbies since I was at the training center, I told my teammates “, he explained in comments relayed by The team. He is therefore beginning to see the end of the tunnel after a frustrating summer marked by his failed transfer to RC Lens.
