A few hours before a highly anticipated confrontation against Paris Saint-Germain, Liam Rosenior delivered a clear message: lucidity, ambition and confidence in his group. The Racing Club coach of Strasbourg does not want to get carried away by the emotion of the end of the season, despite the growing importance of each meeting.
“At that time of the season, the excitement is there, that’s normal. But I want my players to remain concentrated. »»
Faced with a prestigious opponent, Rosenior prefers to insist on the performance of his team rather than on the status of PSG:
“We will face a superb team, with a very high level collective and coach. To succeed, you will have to be excellence in all areas. Regardless of the team opposite, what matters is us. »»
Since his arrival, the English technician has bet on a strong collective project. The identity of play is based above all on the effort, mutual aid and the capacity of the group to pull itself up:
“Since the beginning of the year, it is our collective that has been strength. Everyone pushes the other to surpass themselves. »»
On an individual level, Rosenior underlines the general involvement, without wanting to establish a frozen hierarchy:
“If I hesitate to choose an eleven, it’s because everyone works hard, and that’s exactly what I want. My role is to maximize the potential of players and make them believe in them without rocking in arrogance. »»
He cites in particular the evolution of Diego Moreira, without forgetting the others:
“Diego, for example, has grown enormously this season. He is honest and hardworking. But I could say the same thing for many others. »»
In the locker room, the state of mind seems positive, like the desire displayed in training:
“The players take pleasure in training and don’t even want the season to end. »»
Finally, Rosenior keeps the course:
“We will see where we are after the 34 games, but we will deserve each point that we will go and get. »»
