This Saturday (6 p.m.), OL enter the Coupe de France against Entente Feignies Aulnoye. This meeting could well serve to revive certain players even if Pierre Sage does not make it a duty.
Seriousness is expected. This Saturday in Valenciennes, Pierre Sage expects from its players a true professional attitude to escape from the trap represented byAgreement Feignies Aulnoye. Against National 2 training and on the eve of going on vacation for around ten days, decompression could inevitably make its appearance in the group.OL. The coach worked throughout the week to get his message across on the importance of a good run in this Coupe de France. At a time when the Rhone club has a rich squad, each additional match added to the calendar is an additional possibility of being able to play.
“An opportunity to revive players, but not a duty”
This Saturday, will Pierre Sage go big? At a press conference, he assured that this match would not be a showcase for the departing players. However, this could well be an opportunity to relaunch certain parts of the project for the months to come. We think in particular of Abner or even Tanner Tessmann. This should also be the case for Maxence Caqueret even if the situation in the environment is much more complex. “It’s an opportunity to revive players, yes, but there is not a duty to do it, there is only an opportunity, explained Sage. Now, regarding Maxence, if the attitude is good and it can help the player to become who he was in the second half of last season… Maybe indeed, we will treat him like that.”
Reading the technician's words, we can largely understand that He would lie down will start against Feignies Aulnoye, after being content with crumbs for two months.
A carrot with a view to Montpellier?
With an uncertain future at OL, although his lack of minutes of play does not argue for a departure this winter, Maxence He would lie down as well as other usual replacements have the opportunity to send a message to Pierre Sage. “How will I motivate the players? By promising them that I will remember what happened against Feignies-Aulnoye, for the reception of Montpellier in Ligue 1 on January 4. We just have the duty to move on.” A carrot that some should not miss, because since the start of the season, the large turnover in one match has not really borne fruit. Whether at Toulouse or to Hoffenheim.
The likely composition of the OL: Descamps – Mata, Omari, Niakhate, Abner – Tessmann, Caqueret – Benrahma, Cherki, Fofana – Lacazette
