Anthony Rouault, in a press conference before the trip to Lorient, stressed the importance of the rest week following the victory against Marseille. The team took advantage of this weekend to relax and immediately focused on the next game, intensifying training on Tuesday. Rouault anticipates a match where his team will have more of the ball, which will require more vigilance on the part of the defenders, particularly in terms of positioning and back protection. The team worked on creating dangerous situations with the ball, anticipating a lower defensive block from Lorient.

Concerning the victory against Marseille, Rouault insists on the need to temper her, as this is the first match of the season and it took place in a particular context, with a lot of emotion. It is important to maintain the positive aspects while avoiding complacency. The team must demonstrate its ability to respond to different types of matches and maintain a constant state of mind. Although he was not surprised by Marseille’s resistance, he said he was satisfied with the work accomplished, which was the reward of intensive and difficult preparation.

Rouault is aware that we must always do more and never rest on his laurels. He believes that the proper functioning of the team allows everyone to flourish and that preparation has strengthened collective strength. Although it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions, he is satisfied with the team’s response in the first game and hopes that they will continue to surprise their opponents at the end of the game. As for his more right position this season, Rouault is comfortable, having the habit of playing in different positions and enjoying the varied aspects of each position.
