AS Saint-Étienne offers in its last episode of theInside Match Weekthe coach’s first post-match speech Eirik Horneland. The least we can say is that this one is full of frankness.
As we talked about after the meeting, Eirik Horneland immediately announced the color of his personality. Against Reims, the Saint-Etienne supporters discovered a highly charged coach who fully experienced the match, as if he were on the pitch. The Norwegian twice attacked advertising panels on missed opportunities by the Greens. He also uses his ability to whistle to call his players back to pressing. At a press conference, Hornland explained that he has always been like that on the sidelines: “I’m always like this, we’ll have to get used to it, I think the players will have the opportunity to feel my energy.”
In the latest issue of theInside Match Week proposed by AS Saint-Étienne, we discover the first week experienced by the new ASSE coach, from the inside. This episode ends with the speech ofEirik Horneland to his players after their victory against Reims (3-1). The least we can say is that this one is full of frankness. If the Norwegian technician highlights the performance of his players, he does not hesitate to tell them that they have been “poor” at times: “It’s wonderful what you guys did! There are periods where we have been good, and others where we have been lousy. We sucked at times but sometimes if we suck and work hard, we can get there. Team spirit, discipline, concentration, with that we can win matches in the short term, because it will take time for the team to achieve perfection. It was a good start, especially in terms of team spirit, discipline and the desire to gain ground. Well done guys!“
