The main uncertainty ultimately concerns the heart of the game, where two options are on the table.

“They are having a good start to the championship, like us. They are really efficient at home (7th), less so away (13th). This is also our case. They still have a team with a lot of executives who were there last season, whether it is the central hinge or the offensive players on the side, namely Sagna and Picard, who are very efficient. The players who arrived quickly adapted to their game plan. We really have to go there with the ambition of bringing home the three points. We have the weapons to achieve a good result there. »
