Patrick Vieira reacted in a firm tone to the criticism leveled at him by the Strasbourg public.
Due to a failed start to the season, Patrick Vieira is already in the eye of the storm in Strasbourg. A good part of the supporters are calling for his departure, citing in particular his stereotypical play and the absence of emotions at La Meinau.
Vieira asks supporters for patience
During this period of international break, the former manager of Crystal Palace chose to speak. He first indicated that he had noticed the whistles from the supporters against him. “Yes, I heard them against Nanteshe confided to the Team. We have to accept it, we weren’t good. Me, the coach, and the club, we are aware of where we are and the room for improvement that we must have to be more competitive, more consistent. There have been a lot of changes. »
While questioning himself, Vieira said the Racing crowd was somewhat impatient: “Maybe people from the outside don’t see the progress as quickly as they would like but we must not be blinded by the fact that Strasbourg is linked with Chelsea, with the money that has been spent this summer. »
To conclude, the 98 world champion made it known that we should not only rely on the last championship match. “You have to be careful to master the subject well. If we only focus on the Nantes match, the picture is quite dark. If we look globally, see the work that is done, it is different. With the club, understanding the owners, we decided to take a route which is to rejuvenate the squad.”
