Eliminated last winter, theASSE, Timothy Kolodziejczak, finally managed to find Claude Puel. This season, the defender is dreaming big for AS Saint-Étienne. But he thinks it should come through a big personal performance.
Timothée Kolodziejczak, the miracle
Setting aside Stephane Ruffier by Claude Puel is known to all. What is less is that of Timothy Kolodziejczak by the ASSE coach. Yet the former Tigers (Mexico) player was also banned by his coach last winter. In the Coupe de France, the ex-Leicester City manager had not hesitated to openly reframe the 28-year-old. “Last summer, I didn’t have any preparation with the group and as soon as I arrived, I played direct,” he admitted in the columns of The team to explain his difficult time last winter. But Timothée Kolodziejczak did not let this down. He worked hard and managed to regain the esteem of the former Nice bench boss. And even before confinement, Claude Puel had reinstated the player in his rotation.
The defender determined to have a great season
This summer, Timothy Kolodziejczak has made a good preparation and already feels ready, unlike last summer. “It’s all the difference with this year,” said the ex-Lyonnais. He thinks this season theASSE can have a good run. “With consistency and confidence, we can do something pretty good this season,” he said. To increase the chances ofAS Saint-Etienne to have a good season, Timothée Kolodziejczak wants to achieve a great performance in a personal capacity, as during his first season in Forez. “For that, you have to set personal goals. Mine ? To succeed a full season, by being as efficient as during my first one, here, ”he declared. For the post, he is ready to play “central defender and left side”. He recalls that working in these two positions has happened to him before with Ghislain Printant and assures him that it “is not a problem”.
