As the match against the GOC Nice at the Stadade de la Meinau approached, Liam Rosenior, the RC coach Strasbourg Alsace, expressed his perspectives regarding the opponent and the form state of his team. Recognising the inherent difficulty of facing a team in Nice, which he considers dangerous and endowed with leading individuals, Rosenior insists on the need for the Strasbourgers to surpass themselves to hope to win. He stressed the ability of the Niçois to vary their tactical approach, alternating between a defensive block and high pressure, making their game unpredictable and demanding.

Despite the threat posed by the GOC Nice, Rosenior displayed a serenity that reflected his confidence in his group. He admitted that he was not always calm, but explained that his peace of mind stems from the daily observation of his players’ work and investment. In the face of questions about his fears, he said he felt only limited fear, based on the quality of his team’s commitment and performance.

Finally, the coach noted a favorable evolution in the availability of his players, with the return of Guela Doué and a gradual decrease in injuries and suspensions. This improvement in staff, although it complicates tactical choices, is seen as a positive sign announcing a period of recovery and consolidation for the RC Strasbourg Alsace, which approaches this match with pragmatism and optimism.
