While LOSC has loaned seven players this season, this third international break was an opportunity to take an initial assessment of the start of the season for the players concerned. With overall satisfaction.
Loans with very different objectives
With a squad with increased depth during the summer, players who have not given satisfaction and others who are still too soft to claim a real role in the first team, LOSC has chosen to lend no less than seven during the last transfer window. “ There are two types of loanposes Bruno Genesio. Loans of players we don't want to keep, and loans of young players who do not have enough playing time with their training club but have a higher level than our reserve team. »
Trevis Dago (Annecy), Ugo Raghouber (Dunkirk) and Vincent Burlet (Le Mans) are to be placed in this second box, when Andrej Ilicin immense difficulty at Union Berlin, is in the first. Alan Virginius (Young Boys), Ignacio Miramo (Boca Juniors) and Tiago Morais (Rio Ave), who arrived post-training without convincing, are in between but are getting closer to the first option.
Organized follow-up
The youngest, expected to potentially find a place in the first team in the medium or long term, are the most followed. “ From that moment on, it's important to be able to evaluate them at a higher levelcontinues Genesio. Ligue 2 or the National, whether for Trévis, Ugo or Vincent, it's a great opportunity for them to have playing time – when we're young, we need to play matches – and for us to evaluate them in a different context. »
It remains to be seen who is responsible for monitoring the loaned players, while the first team staff are already busy with the sequence of matches every day. “ There are basically two people who follow the loaned playersreveals the LOSC coach. Franck Beria who regularly watches the matches of young players on loan, and Jeremy Brechet who is on my staff and maintains the link with the training. There are permanent exchanges. They went to watch the Espoirs match together (in Valenciennes on Tuesday, 2-2 against Germany). Then, we debrief with Jérémie. » With what overall results? “ I think there are positives », replied Bruno Genesio, who had perhaps regretted some of them when the LOSC infirmary was at the peak of its affluence.
