Now five days before the closing of the transfer market, Amiens SC has still not recruited the depth striker called for by Philippe Hinschberger. At the same time, the technician from Amiens could lose Formose Mendy, “ his best central defender“. What arouses certain tensions?
Hinschberger refuses to discuss the transfer window…
« For any questions on the transfer window, you will be kind to call John Williams and we will remain focused on the Le Havre match, if I may allow myself this precision to introduce our collaboration of the day.“. Barely entered the press conference room and not yet fully seated in his seat this Thursday noon, Philippe Hinschberger wanted to demine from the outset the key subject of this month of January: the winter transfer window. And if he is only following the summer injunctions of his management, who no longer wanted him to speak on this kind of subject at a press conference, the coach of Amiens SC had ended up letting go of ballast by seasonal course.
As proof, Philippe Hinschberger had drawn up the list of his needs last November, as part of the post-match press conference after qualifying for the Coupe de France against Lamentin. More recently, namely last Friday, he had agreed to comment on our information about a strong interest from Amiens SC for Ibrahima Niane. Tuesday evening again, he was on the airwaves of France Bleu Lorraine to take stock of this boiling file which has still not known an outcome. From then on, this sudden silence can give rise to all possible conjectures, in particular that of the beginning of exasperation in the experienced Amiens coach.
…before being forced to respond to the Mendy case
And failing to comment on the possible movements in the direction of arrivals, knowing that the loan of Janis Antisite seems imminent, Philippe Hinschberger was relaunched at the end of the press conference to discuss the possible departure of Formosa Mendy, courted since last summer but still Amiens today. What to disturb the Senegalese international before a week with three crucial matches to maintain the hopes of ascent? ” No, he is there, he is available. Point, I don’t care about the restreplied a slightly annoyed Hinschberger. I manage the player on a daily basis and the other people at the club or in his entourage are in charge of the player’s future. »
However, Amiens SC will play in Niort on Tuesday evening, the closing date of the transfer market. What to bring Philippe Hinschberger to take into account this particular situation in his management of a player potentially in the process of leaving? ” No, as long as he’s there and he’s operational… Whether he’s disturbed or not, knowing that he can’t be insensitive, it’s his performance that counts. You saw his match in Bordeaux, he had a very big match thererecalls his trainer. He is still there in his head, I discuss with him. As I was looking forward to September 1st, I am still looking forward to February 1st. It remains to be seen whether it will be with or without Formose Mendy, with or without a deep striker.
