Pierric Poupet, new Asvel coach, after the dismissal of Gianmarco Pozzecco on Saturday: “We are in a period of defining roles, on the pitch and in the locker room, and we must restore confidence to some. These are things that don’t just concern the field. If we can lay good foundations, we can have real ambition.
How do I approach being coach number 1 (he was until now an assistant)? With enthusiasm and determination. That’s all I can control, that’s who I am and what I show the players. […] It’s an opportunity for me but it’s also a great opportunity for the group to show that they want more and that they are worth more.
The team is impacted but not bruised. This is a team that continues to look for itself. Besides, we didn’t always show that we were a team. We showed it at times. […] I found the team very hardworking these last few days, and very attentive. Obviously, it’s the beginning, so they’re curious to see what we’re going to try to do. It’s up to me to bring them, with all the staff […], to become one in this unsatisfactory situation at the club, to put them in the best conditions and to give them confidence in what the club is trying to do. »
