Faithful to its principles, Eirik Horneland explains that he is aware of the difficult situation of the Greens in the Ligue 1 standings but does not want it to be dominant in the minds of his players, to whom he entrusts development as their main mission.
Eirik Horneland explains in fact that the ranking is obviously to be taken into account, AS Saint-Étienne is currently play-off in Ligue 1 with 16 points on the clock, as many as the first non-relegation Nantes which presents itself at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium this Sunday at 3 p.m. for the 18th day of Ligue 1.
However, the Saint-Etienne coach does not want the ranking to take up too much space in the heads of his players to whom he gives development as their main mission: “We must not be focused on our position in the ranking because we cannot be focused on that and at the same time on development. We have to play in the style of play that allows us to develop. We are obliged to take the ranking into account, obviously we are aware of it, but we cannot only be on that, because we lose useful energy to develop. In stages, we will be able to progress, we must build this performance on a daily basis to bring good results to the team. For the moment, the players are responding well, they are showing great things in matches and training. What I ask them is to continue building so that these phases continue over time and bring us better results.“
