Olivier Dall'Oglio presented himself at a press conference after his team's solid victory at home against Strasbourg (2-0). The coach of the Greens, in good form, was indirectly questioned about the rumors circulating around his potential replacement at the head of ASSE. The latter brushed aside this rumor and took the opportunity to call for patience by implicitly targeting the management of the Forez club.
“In football, we don’t have time, especially coaches”
Olivier Dall'Oglio (coach of ASSE):
Did some players show solidarity with their coach? “No, no, no. Honestly, I don't think that's it. There are a lot of things happening outside, we're not going to discuss it yet, you've discussed it a lot, you've put me in the spotlight quite a few times, so I thank you. But that's not it. We, internally, are not on that. We worked a lot this week in terms of communication, in terms of videos, on the ground, individually, online, to show what was wrong, what needed to be corrected. Today, I saw boys who raised their level. »
“We are going to work hard all week, as we have been doing for a while. And behind it, there will certainly be something good, because I think that this team needs to mature, it needs time, it needs to grow, it needs to mature. That’s clear. We can't arrive like that, in the first division, arrive from the four corners of the world and then say, we're going to build a team like that. No, it takes time. I know that in football, we don't have them, especially coaches. But it's a reality, it's like that. »
ASSE players who stand together with their coach
Louis Mouton (ASSE midfielder). Play this match for the coach? “For him no. But we consider that we are all in the same boat. We never let go of the coach. We're not letting go. And since we never let go of any player, we win for all of us. And not necessarily just for the coach. We win for the management, for the players between us, for Larso, getting a clean sheet is incredible. So there you have it, we win for everyone. And the coach is part of us, so obviously he is included in it. »
Mickaël Nadé (ASSE central defender). A victory for the coach? “Yes, of course, it’s for everyone. It's a collective. When we win we win together and when we lose we lose together. It's not a coach or so-and-so, it's us who are primarily responsible. Today we won, we are happy and we hope to continue like this. »
