Claude Puel does not expect his team to suffer but to play its game bravely, in the hope of beating Paris-SG on Sunday (1 p.m.) in Ligue 1. “How is your group doing before facing Paris-SG on Sunday?”
We will know a little more on Saturday because we had a lot of small problems with, unfortunately, Romain’s injury. (Hamouma) with ischios. Neyou has not yet taken back to consolidate his ligament. Sow and Moukoudi were able to resume training. Then we had five sick players. Some have not been able to train for the week. Like Nordin, because of his foot (law). Examinations taken on Monday revealed a large contusion. He was unable to put on football boots. What about Denis Bouanga, sick on the day of the match in Troyes (1-0)?
He picked up slowly and practiced yesterday (Thursday). Those who are aligned will be able to fight. read also The program of the 15th day How do you see this match with this full infirmary?
As usual: we will tackle this match to win it. We know who we are in front of, with a lot of resources, character and talent, even if she can sometimes find herself in difficulties. It will be up to us to stay focused on what we want and have to do, raising our level of play, with or without the ball. We have already encountered these problems in Troyes. We saw our mental resources and in terms of players. “This match should help us win in terms of maturity” Do your two consecutive successes bring more confidence?
Yes, although the training has always been of good quality. Afterwards, if it can help us to be more relaxed to try more things and be more productive, that would be good. Do you take this Sunday game as a parenthesis?
No. Whoever the opponent is, this game must be taken seriously. We have to play to take the three points, because we need them. Afterwards, it is always an extraordinary and special match because there is only positive to take away against a team like this one. You have to try to perform. This match should help us gain in terms of maturity because the slightest mistake is quickly penalized. We must not wait for direct confrontations but be able to come out of big matches against any opponent. Will the result depend on the Paris-SG?
No. Even if there is a big gap on paper between the two teams, I pretend to think that it will depend above all on us. This has always been my leitmotif. Quite simply, you shouldn’t play small arms. “The teams play to make a result against the PSG, which must be employed” Like others before you this season, is Saint-Étienne capable of causing problems for Paris-SG?
Every game is different. It will depend on the composition of the teams and what PSG will offer. What is certain is that the teams play to make a result against PSG, which must be used. But, often with the same result at the end. The Parisians are always there, showing character to seek the result. It’s a good challenge. Are you going to defend differently against such attackers?
If you had followed me a bit in my coaching career, I never made a plan to defeat a team or players. It’s a collective that has to rise up and be very good at details because it’s high level. “Trauco, defender:” The best time to face PSG “” Our two wins in a row are very important. The state of mind of the team is necessarily at the top. Like confidence. We can work well during the week. The young people in the team are doing a lot of good. The main thing is to play very smart because this kind of game is played on details. We will therefore need to be very focused and focus on our game. As Parisians can be intimidating, thinking of us first is the best solution. This is the best time to face Paris-SG. We regained our confidence and the week was very happy and positive in training ” B. Li.
