Before the trip to Brest on Saturday evening, Fabio Grosso increased the workload during training sessions. The new coach of Olympique Lyonnais placed the emphasis on defensive solidity, much more than on the quality of the game offered.
Fabio Grosso quickly became aware of the situation. To relieve his team deprived of victory in five days of Ligue 1, the new coach of Olympique Lyonnais knows that the road will be long. From the start, the Italian has therefore increased the schedule of his men. “ The extra workload was very well received by the playersthe technician told the media. We do things so that it serves. It was important to train more this week with double sessions in particular. We think this is the best way to grow. »
Nice game, but not now
As for the content of all these sessions, Fabio Grosso focused on the defensive aspect and the state of mind. “ I like the game, but it requires common valueswarned the successor of Laurent Blanc. If we really want to play as a team, there must be common values. And little by little we will put tactical, technical things in place. But first, we will have to show collective values. If we do things the other way around, for me it’s not the right thing. »
