Olivier Dall'Oglio and the ASSE are going through a complicated period

After a valuable victory against Montpellier (1-0), ASSE hopes to start a series against Rennes. The Stéphanois will face the SRFC this Saturday at 5 p.m. Olivier Dall'Oglio presented himself at a press conference this Thursday. Extract.

Olivier Dall'Oglio (Entraîneur de l'ASSE) :“For this weekend, we have a nasty surprise. Augustine Boakye felt pain yesterday when he started, he will not be in the match. We still have the problem with Yvann Maçon with his knee. It's still swollen. We will make a decision, it has not been decided yet.

Otherwise, the feedback is rather encouraging for Monconduit and Briançon, but it will certainly take a little longer than expected. We gradually brought these boys back into the group, but for the moment it is not yet full time.

Afterwards, there is Micka Nadé for whom it continues. It's encouraging. He resumed the race, without problem. Ben Old put his foot back on the ground, still on the crutches, but he's okay. We will also take a lot of time with him.

Augustine, it's certainly muscular, but as it's recent, we'll wait for the exams to have something more precise. It’s at the top of the quadriceps.”

Confidence and tools for ASSE

Olivier Dall'Oglio (Entraîneur de l'ASSE) : “Less pressure by being outside the red zone? Each victory brings its share of satisfaction and its share of confidence. We need to find confidence, especially when the players are a little more tired. Which is the case at the moment. It's a pretty delicate period. We changed seasons. We see a little more fatigue and injuries. Adding confidence feels good.

This week has been active, but it has also been useful in recovery. In the heads, we are lighter and in the legs, we are lighter.

We talk a lot with the players to get their feelings. We trust them. We are able to let them breathe for a sequence or two. We have modern tools today like GPS that help us. We see the boys who are overworked sometimes. We use technology and the human side to make decisions. But we are really vigilant about the session intensities. If we have to remove a quarter of an hour, we remove it without it hindering our operation too much.

It's not always easy to explain to players that we are reducing sessions. Some people need to prove things. For them, it’s harder to wait because they want to show.”
