The defeat at Angers could leave its mark on AS Saint-Étienne and on the club side, we are working to ensure that this is not the case. In this sense, individual interviews took place this week.
If it is common for players to speak individually or collectively with the staff during the week, Olivier Dall’Oglio insisted on the subject at a pre-match press conference this Thursday noon: “We have to go back on the gas, that’s what we did. We did a lot of individual work, we spoke with the players, we got them to talk as well. We set about improving what needs to be improved. Against Angers, we saw a lot of individual mistakes, to correct them, it requires work and communication.”
Asked about the subject a few minutes later, Dennis Appiah says more about the content of these individual interviews: “Individual interviews? The coach is used to coming back to us, he likes to know about certain situations what the players are thinking, why we did a certain action to have the information and to compare to what he expected of us at that moment . It’s good to do it line by line, because we don’t always think the same thing about a situation, it allows you to know what one prefers and what the other thinks. We can’t handle every situation so during the week we try to work as much as possible but there are things that we won’t be able to work on during the week. The adversary is there to put us in difficulty, we are there to agree according to what happens. Even if we are surprised, we must react together.”
