One match, and he lets go.
After a narrow defeat against LOSC last weekend and an alarming situation in the championship (15e), Jorge Sampaoli, the new coach of Stade Rennes, had a few messages to convey before the reception at Saint-Étienne on Saturday. “ Yes, we have a problem in attackconfirmed the Argentinian, while the Bretons have not scored in three matches. Ohad a good game defensively. But offensively, it was not convincing. This is normal, change takes time. »
“Amine Gouiri offensive leader? For the moment, it is not »
Sampaoli went a little further by looking ahead to the upcoming meeting: “If against Saint-Étienne, we play in a disorderly manner, we will lose, so we want to stabilize and order the team, that is the priority. We can get by playing a little anarchically, but in these cases, you need players who make the difference on their own, and in Rennes, for the moment, I don’t see that kind of player. Our organization must disorganize the adversary. »
A nice sting for the Rennes attackers, but above all a sad reality at the start of the season where they rarely shine. Can Amine Gouiri be this offensive leader? Clear response from the coach: « I hope he can be, but right now he’s not. » Before continuing: « Against Saint-Étienne, I want players who, in the event of a problem, rebel against the circumstances, who give absolutely everything, even if there is no result. I want the image of the club and the team to change. »
The end of cuddling.
