OM faces Nîmes at the start of the 13th day and the Portuguese technician would have preferred, recovery level after Olympiakos, that the match take place on Saturday at 5 p.m. for example. However, the fact of opening the ball also offers a nice advantage: that, in the event of victory, to spend the weekend on the sofa to watch the competition tear. The best of recoveries. For now, if we rely on the average points per game, OM are in the lead, peaking at 2.1. PSG follow (2.08) and a quartet composed of Lille, Lyon, Monaco and Montpellier at 1.92. However, Saturday, a Montpellier-PSG is on the program and Sunday, it’s Lille-Monaco. But to rub their hands, you have to win at the Costières stadium, and for that, the coach has to deal with a workforce some of whom are starting to stick their tongues out.
Villas-Boas still so forthright at a press conference …
André Villas-Boas therefore warned that there would be a bit of turnover. In his mind, this is surely the most important game of the week. But he has always been with his staff attentive to the states of form, never pulled too much on the rope with a player to the point of seeing him fart. It should therefore continue. Now is the time for recovery, with lighter sessions. But not to calinotherapy so far. In a pre-match press conference, André Villas-Boas did not depress his players but he did not spare anyone. Sure Cuisance, whose disappointment tweet after OM-Olympiakos was noticed, for example, he himself gave a layer on his disappointment, casually: “I had him yesterday in my office, he was disappointed for his game. I explained to him the reasons why he came out very early in the game. I want to continue to give him confidence “. For Payet, he revealed that the staff had set up a specific program for him: “These are different things related to his physical condition, his nutrition obviously, and recovery. ” Not sure that the position of the adverb does not tickle the ego of the playmaker. But the biggest punchline, it was therefore on the transfer window and Luis Henrique: “We might have missed each other, because Luis will not be the player we had thought of, with the possibility of playing in this position. We will have to do something maybe in January “.
… to distract attention?
A shock formula, which has the merit of the franchise, so rare in this exercise, and which is not directed towards the young Brazilian. AVB recalled that it was necessary to recruit him this summer, not to wait for the next one where he will already be worth the triple. The stone is perhaps more for the garden of Pablo Longoria, who failed to find him a center forward this summer … but also his own: Villas-Boas had guaranteed this bet “Luis Henrique, the winger who will become center-forward “when he is signed, while all summer he recalled that he wanted a nine but to be number 2 behind Dario Benedetto, who had all his confidence. We must not rule out a trick of cunning which the Portuguese has the secret. Since his speech, the debates turn on this statement, not on the players or its composition … To better surprise the Nîmes?
