ASSE back on the pitch. The Greens resumed training on Monday at the State, at the Robert-Herbin training center. Mainly the reserve team, because the internationals who played until June have an extra week off. The occasion of see the new recruits in action and new coach Laurent Batlles before his presentation on Wednesday.
Batlles demanding and encouraging
In their brand new training shirts, adorned with the new logo, the players struggle under the watchful eye of their new coach. Laurent Batlles attentive, demanding, but also encouraging. He does not fail to congratulate his players whom he already seems to know, but does not hesitate to crop, including experienced players. The new Dylan Chambost, Jimmy Giraudon and Anthony Briançon were present.
The ASS coach is scrutinized by journalists, whom he politely greets. “Hello, I can’t talk to you”, he blurts out with a smile. Impossible to question him, therefore, but for Anthony Verpillon has been following the Greens for 5 years for local television TL7, it still feels good to attend training again. “It allows you to see a little of the state of form of each other and the precepts that the new coach wants to put in place, and the game that seems to be taking shape”he comments.
After their internship at La Plagne from July 5 to 9, the Greens will meet Puy-en-Velay, Grenoble and Bordeaux in a friendly, before attacking Ligue 2 on July 30 against Dijon.
