Always focused on the development of young Stéphanois, coach Claude Puel proposed the arrival of a new asset for the AS Saint-Etienne training center.
In their last 10 games in all competitions, AS Saint-Etienne have managed to score at least two goals only once. That is to say the offensive poverty of the Greens. This flaw has obviously not escaped Claude Puel who, failing to be able to buy a top scorer, will try to help the youngsters of the training center with the arrival of a coach dedicated to the attackers.
” An attacker must surprise, by his movements, by his gesture in front of the goal. For some, it is innate, for others it is necessary to work on it, explained the ASSE coach and manager. It’s a pleasure to see them progress but these are things that should have been worked on in training. We are looking for someone who will do something specific about our offensive players, with the analysis of the games of the reserve, U19 and U17. Each time, I have had people with this role in my clubs. They were old players who had this cunning, who felt it. “
Without nugget, “you have to work”
” As a defender, I was made aware of defeating these players. There are players who are naturally gifted, like Benzema, Hazard or Ben Arfa. For others, you have to work. The goal is that with the repetition, the player has the feeling of making a success of the beautiful gesture. The landing is there. There are too many generalities done in the training. We need to be more precise in what we bring to the players », Advised Puel, who could also use this future recruit for the professional group.
