Philippe Clément, the coach of the Rocher club, spoke at a press conference this Wednesday and he thus spoke about this match, while confiding in the end of the season and a possible qualification for the Champions League, which he still believe possible. Check out highlights from his press conference below.
The end of the season and a possible qualification in C1
“Everything is still possible, except to be champion of France because PSG have too much of a lead. All the other scenarios are possible for many teams, in particular qualification for the Champions League, not only for us. There will be nothing definitive until mathematically nothing is settled, and we have proven this recently with our three victories in a row.”
On the form of Rennes and the match against the Bretons
“For me, the best team in the championship is the one with the most points. But for sure Rennes are playing really well, are in a good period, with an attacking style of play and a lot of goals scored by different players. . It’s a style that I like. For the spectators, I think it will be a good match, between two teams who will play to score. We will have to be focused and put on a great game there.”
About Ben Yedder
“Wissam brings confidence and stability to his teammates. We are a team with young players, who still lack consistency, and he has proven in recent months that he is always available and that he does not just play to score goals. He is very important in the construction of our game, the opponents fear him and he opens up spaces for others. He is not a big size, but he has really specific qualities. He gives me a a little reminiscent of Romario, with typical futsal actions, although the Brazilian was a little more explosive. Wissam’s great qualities are his vision of the game, his sense of timing and his technique in small spaces.”
On the group and cohesion in the workforce
“It’s a very important thing to have a connection between the players. The more things you do together off the pitch, the more you will want to do on the pitch. It was time to make a day of team building, because before that had not been possible due to several factors, such as the Covid or the international break. There were all the people who work here, in La Turbie, and there was a lot of enthusiasm from the part of everyone. When you feel good in your work environment and with the people around you, it shows on the pitch. It’s important to create a good work environment, which is the most important thing, but also with a pleasant atmosphere. I want to create a family, so that we all experience something special together.”
