His name was still unknown in the French football landscape two weeks ago, but the content offered by his team is starting to arouse curiosity. At 40 years old, Liam Rosenior is making his mark on Racing Club of StrasbourgPatrick Vieira’s successor launched his project with very unusual precepts.
“I want to compare it to basketball teams: they play almost one-on-one defense across the entire court, warned Pierre Sage, before the trip to Lyon, this Friday (8:45 p.m.). It’s disruptive, but it also opens up possibilities. It allows you to create power play situations. Of course, there’s a lot of energy, a lot of intensity, but it’s a very young team. They have a clear game plan, adopted and put into practice by all the players. The idea of the game is very present and it drives the team throughout all the matches. It’s a courageous and carefree team.”
Strasbourg should not change a formula that works
It’s clear: Racing Club de Strasbourg’s defensive organization should still pose headaches for its opponent. Swept away by Stade Rennais two weeks ago (0-3), OL will come up against a team that just brought down the Breton club (3-1).
And Rosenior should not change a formula that works. Strasbourg should therefore present itself with a 3-4-1-2 animation that has proven itself. In the choice of men, the strong individuals of this start of the season are also expected, from Diarra in a number 10 role to the striker Emegha.
The expected line-up for Strasbourg : Johnsson – Doué, Sow, Sylla – Andrey Santos, Doukouré – Bakwa, Moreira, Diarra (c), Wiley – Emegha.
