After a defeat against Paris, a complicated Coupe de France match and a hold-up against Montpellier, OL want to move forward and regain their level of play.
“The criticisms are legitimate“, conceded Pierre Sage this Thursday, two days away from traveling to Brest. “When we have intellectual honesty, we must accept that, from time to time, we play well without winning, and from time to time, we win without playing well. We also know full well that if we don’t play well for very long, we risk not winning much.“.
This week was therefore devoted to work: “It was necessary to put the players back into a playing situation, to coordinate with each other. Between the last match in Paris, the Coupe de France and the restart, the players lost certain habits. Some interactions have softened. As a result, it was necessary to reconnect the players. Understanding between them, understanding in their movements. And also putting into action“, analyzed Pierre Sage, who revealed “the moral commitment made in the locker room“at the end of the match against Montpellier.”We said to ourselves that we were going to get back to work very seriously and very diligently in order to rediscover the beauty of our game“.
-Et Duje Caleta-Car to confirm: “At the end of the year, there was the succession of matches, the fatigue. Against Montpellier, it was a replay match. We need to get back in shape and that comes through training. We will be better physically than last week and we will show it to you against Brest on Saturday“.
