“No need to yell everywhere and bring down the hive”

If there was no reason to part ways with Olivier Dall’Oglio for the leaders of ASSE after the defeat against Nice, the question arose all week among observers in Forez. Asked about his working environment, the Saint-Etienne coach believes he was able to work calmly and with serenity.

The “famous question” is in these terms thatOlivier Dall’Oglio the smirk answered around twenty minutes after the start of his press conference to the question of his future at ASSE. Straightforward, the Greens coach responded to journalists present at L’Etrat on Friday noon before the weekend’s match against Nantes: “I don’t have the answers to everything but I am determined to see this mission through to the end, I am firm in my convictions, I know where I can take this team, it is capable of maintaining itself. Today, there is a objective which is to maintain. We know that it will be complicated, we see that the teams which have moved up from Ligue 2 are lagging behind (editor’s note, press conference held before Auxerre’s victory against Brest). time and we are given the time I am here, I am present at the club, we work hand in hand with the management, there is no problem on that side.

A few minutes earlier he had already anticipated the subject, evoking the working environment at the Robert-Herbin Center this week after the correction received by ASSE against Nice: “It’s still quite calm within the club, that doesn’t prevent everyone from being busy at work. We have to see what more we can do by working all day at all the levels, whether it be the managers, the staff, to put the players in the best possible condition on the weekend, we all worked together on this, you know a football club looks like a hive, there is no. no need to shout in all directions and bring down the hive after a defeat.

We are all together and we didn’t do the right thing, me first and foremost. I was too ambitious in the game against Nice, I thought we could resist their athletic pressure and stand up to them that way but it was a mistake. We are all in the same boat. On a mental level, you have to be strong, you have to know how to get up when you fall. There is a saying that says “fall down seven times, get up eight.” In our case we have fallen eight times, we will have to get up nine times. I like that one.”
