Victorious against PSG this Sunday (3-1), Lorient regains success in Ligue 1. The coach of Merlus, Régis Le Bris, had pointed out flaws to exploit in Paris. Winning Coaching.
Signed Régis Le Bris. At the end of a perfectly mastered match, the Lorient players came to win (1-3) on the PSG lawn on behalf of the 33rd day of the championship. A victory that Lorient owes in part to his coach, Régis Le Bris, who identified the opposing flaw.
The sides, the Parisian weak point
The Breton tactician explained his reasoning on the approach to the match and the role of Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi: “Each coach seeks, like each staff, before the matches, the vulnerabilities of his opponent. There are some in Paris, in Lorient as in all Ligue 1 teams and football in general. We try to attack where they are most vulnerable and defend where they are strong. Today our objective was to hold the ball to that this 5-3 block, which became a 4-3 block after the expulsion, is so legible for us after 10-15 passes that we can know where to attack it. dribbling so that you can then cross.”
“Paris gave us the opportunity to express ourselves”
If we trust these words at the press conference, the game proposed by Paris today suited Lorient tactics well: “Paris gave us the opportunity to express ourselves unlike the matches we played previously”, summarizes Régis The Bris
Paris again yielded against a reputedly playful team. Christophe Galtier underlined the quality of the Lorient team at a press conference: “God knows that tonight we had a very good Lorient team opposite. A playful and non-athletic team with a big physical impact. When you don’t win your duels in a match, regardless of the level, either you are beaten on an athletic level or on a mental level. This afternoon, I think we let go on a mental level.
Now 11th in the standings, Lorient is back to winning ways. The last Breton victory dates back to March 12, it was against Troyes (2-0).
