Dall'Oglio praised again after Strasbourg

AS Saint-Étienne won against Racing Club de Strasbourg last Saturday. A success achieved thanks to a successful match, particularly on the defensive level. Tactically, ASSE was able to pose a lot of problems for the Alsatians.

After the meeting, Liam Rosenior highlighted the masterstroke of his Saint-Etienne counterpart, Olivier Dall'Oglio in comments reported by The Latest News from Alsace : “The Saint-Etienne coach was incredible because he closed the spaces and we were unable to do what a team in possession must do: create play in such a way as to break their block. I had warned the players that it was possible for Saint-Étienne to go to five behind for the first time. But sometimes, it is on the pitch that we have to find solutions. Our opponents gave up the ball to us and let them dominate while we were there. away. It's up to us to adapt when the opposition offers us something different. This match is very interesting because it's the first time that a team has deliberately defended very low at home against us. For my players, it's a lesson to learn because I think a lot of teams will now play like this against us. It's up to us to find the way to adapt and overcome this type of opposition.

The English technician was not the only one to congratulate Olivier Dall'Oglio for his tactical move. Damien Perquisformer ASSE player now consultant on RMC wanted to pay tribute to ODO on the set ofAfter Foot of RMC : “We often talk about coaches and the difficulties they can have. It's often the fuse that we blow. I would like to take my hat off to Olivier Dall'Oglio who found a good formula against Strasbourg with the placement of Ekwah in the defensive phase which made it possible to annihilate the offensive animation of Strasbourg.”
