Transferred to the arm of Gautier Larsonneur after the failures of Younis Abdelhamidthe captain's armband will once again go to the goalkeeper of AS Saint-Étienne. The new coach of the Greens, Eirik Horneland, confirmed this Friday noon at a pre-match press conference: “Gautier will be the captain and so you guessed it… If he is captain, he will be on the field tomorrow (laughs).”
Also questioned on the subject a few moments before his new trainer, Gautier Larsonneur felt that locker room leaders do not need the armband to assert themselves and make themselves heard: “Whether the armband is on me or not, it doesn't change our goals. We have to work hard for the team and be determined. Everyone has the same idea, regardless of the armband, which is to show ourselves more positive in the group and win the weekend.
Personally, I have never needed a piece of fabric on my arm to be determined. If I needed the armband to be a leader, it wouldn't suit me, it's not in my temperament, no. In Brest, when I was a young player, I could yell (sic) at guys who were 34, so you can imagine that today, that's not what's going to change me.”
