Jorge Sampaoli
The defensive system without Lorenz Assignon
“With the suspension of Lorenz Assignon, I could indeed use another system, its absence opens this possibility. But what is important to me, whether in defense or attack are the relationships between players and, in the case of defenders, how one will protect the other. We trained to play four behind, with a pivot in front of the defense. I am not closed to any possibility. The goal is above all that the team is solid. »»
The opponent
“Monaco is the best team in transition in this championship, even in the world. It is a team facing which complementary players will be needed on the field. Namely that the Monegasques have always punished the phases of disorganization of their opponents. »»
The first games of Brice Samba and Seko Fofana
“Before talking about leadership, the most important for me is what they bring to the field. They arrived to make differences and bring solidity. What I can say is that in everyday life are good people. »»
Players’ state of form
“The team, against Brest, gave everything until the last minute. We spent a lot on the physical level. I have nothing to blame the players at this level, they provided a lot of high intensity races. Frustration means that the team sometimes plays with the handbrake but I believe that we evolve well in terms of organization. The physical condition of the players improves every week because they work very hard. »»
Amine Gouiri
-His state of form
“The situation is not easy but physically I come back little by little after my knee problem. I work every day in training to return to the top. Statistically, it is less good than what I have known before, I am aware and I work. I am the first disappointed because I am demanding with myself. I know that I am one of the expected players, there is still the second part of the season to improve it all. »»
The accounting assessment
“There are ups and downs in football, we came here to play the top of the painting and the classification is unacceptable, we are aware of them, we are the first responsible. There remains a second part of the season to do better and win matches. »»
Work with Jorge Sampaoli
“We have the right to individual videos. He knows what I am capable of, he is demanding with me, we exchange a lot and I continue to give the maximum to training. »»
