Will Still led Lens to a dramatic 4-3 victory over Marseille, supported by his girlfriend Emma Saunders, who is recovering from encephalitis. Despite her health challenges, Saunders encouraged Still to take charge of the game, allowing him to focus on his role. He shared the emotional difficulty of balancing personal crises with professional responsibilities, acknowledging that football pales in comparison to life’s greater challenges. His team’s strong performance amidst these circumstances received high praise, illustrating the support within the club during difficult times.
When I came back last Saturday I knew she [Saunders] was in the best place possible to get treatment.
Of course, there are more important things in life than a football match or a shot into the top corner.
I have been honest with the guys. My girlfriend was in a coma, I had to be with her.
It's my job, it's what I am paid for. I am well paid, so I told myself I have to give something back.
