At a press conference before reception of AS Saint-Etienne this Friday evening, Christophe Pélissier The AJ Auxerre coach spoke on the challenges of the meeting between Icaunais and Stéphanois.
Christophe Pélissier: “It will be difficult because we have seen what Saint-Etienne did on its last three games, it is a team that plays with great intensity, which puts an enormous pressure on the opponent by playing very high. He It is only to see their match in Paris, even if they lost it, it is a symbol match of what they want to do. , we will have to be. must break the negative spiral, we want to win a match (Editor's note, Auxerre has not won since November 24). In revenge it has never done things.
We will have to put intensity and quality to get out of the Stéphanoise pressure. We must also be more effective. Last week even if we were playing ten against Angers, we have as many situations as they are and in the end we do not mark. We have to find colors offensively because in the last three games of the championship, we only put one goal.
Yes Saint-Etienne does not travel well but they have changed their coach, there is a different philosophy. Their only benchmark outside is their match in Paris and they made a crowded match. Ok they were beaten but we know the difficulty of playing against PSG. In the intentions, they were good and tomorrow (note, Friday) they will want to do the same thing. Each match has its truth, in football you have to stop talking about a game outside and at home, there is an opponent, there is a field, we must be efficient, quite simply. “
