“I’m one of the few to talk about mental preparation, to have someone I can lean on to unload a lot of things. It’s Pier Gauthier, a person I discovered at the time of Saint-Etienne. He is a former tennis player who had difficulty to be well in the finals or the semi-finals. He trained as a “mental trainer” and we started to collaborate, reveals the Lille coach. Not to discover me, but to have techniques to relieve the pressure a little, to lighten me on a mental level. It was also to have keys aiming to free speech and make people speak. It is very important to make people talk, you find 80% of the solutions to problems. If you don’t make them talk, one day it explodes. “
“I am surely one of the few to talk about mental preparation, to have someone on whom I can lean to unload a lot of things”
