“I know the atmosphere in Saint-Étienne will be incredible”

A meeting approached with ambition by the English coach, despite the difficulties of his away team which has not yet won (editor’s note: two defeats and two draws). Strasbourg expects a difficult match at Geoffroy-Guichard, in an atmosphere “amazing” : “There is always a moment when you are going to win for the first time away. We would have preferred it to be earlier and we had good chances. We always play every game to win, so that doesn't change our way of thinking. We want to win every game so it would be great to win on Saturday. We're looking to get the most points without thinking about how many we'll have at the end. That's where you do the math. to the season in this way. I don't consider one match to be more difficult than another, we play away or at home You play to win each match. the only thing I focus on and I hope it's the only thing the group focuses on.

I know the atmosphere in Saint-Étienne will be incredible. It's really a difficult move. Their start to the season is complicated, as for any team promoted to a higher league and at a higher level. But they have real weapons, they play with real energy. I think they were unlucky in some games. I watched the match against Lille where they were very good. I know it will be a difficult match. We need to make sure we play to our level to give ourselves a chance of winning the game. It's a long season. If you start trying to make judgments after a short period of matches, then you are getting carried away. I want to concentrate fully on every match we play. I'm going to get very boring in these press conferences throughout the season. I don't care where we are in the Championship now. I worry about where we'll be at the end of May.”
