“We have progressed in our offensive animation, in transitions but also in placed attacks. It’s an energy-intensive game, but I have a quality group with players who come on during the match or at the end of the match, and who are decisive”analyzed Pélissier at a press conference. “What we proposed to the players after the defeat at Saint-Etienne (3-0) was accepted. The qualities of the players stand out. Well done to them. The results validate all this work, such as that focused on our defensive solidity.he said again, insisting on “the big match” delivered against Rennes.

Adaptation

After losing against ASSE, AJA followed up with a home victory against Reims (2-1) then a draw in Lyon (2-2). “But we made sure to put our players in the best conditions for this purpose.
