Stade Rennais – Brest / Sampaoli: “The team was courageous, I am proud of them, we were superior to Brest”
After his team's defeat against Brest, Jorge Sampaoli presented himself at a press conference.
New cycle: For me this is a new stage. The team made a great effort, was much better than the opponent. Especially in the 2nd half. We created 23 chances. Tonight Stade Rennes was the best, and we could have equalized. Because of childish mistakes, we lose. I am convinced that the team showed character.
No points: This concerns me a lot. J4 believes that the evolution in the game has been good, even if we are not advancing in points. We are fighting against the opposing elements, we lacked efficiency. We had so many chances that it's hard to understand how we lost. The team was courageous. I'm proud of her, we were superior to Brest who are playing in the Champions League and did nothing to win this match.
Breathing: In the first half, he played like a number 10. He can give us a freer position. In second, he played from behind, and was able to participate in the organization of the game. But there needs to be order in the team. We have to adjust his position, he played 90 minutes even if he is not in full possession of his means.
-System : The team was playing with 4 before we arrived, and wasn't winning. We play with 5 because our full-backs are drawn forward. We could play with 4, we did it at one point today. But with the central 3, one of the three can contribute in attack, this was the case with Hateboer, Wooh and Truffert. Brest is the best team in the air in Europe, that had to be taken into account. The most important thing is the mistakes we make and repeat.
Messages from supporters: I understand. They have the right to protest, given the situation. I strive every day to be able to change the situation.
