FOOTBALL – Back in Blue, Dimitri Payet and Andre-Pierre Gignac openly admit that they owe much to their new coach in Marseille, Marcelo Bielsa …
Since August, all they succeeded. Goals galore, a huge influence on the game of OM, a place of leaders of Ligue 1 … With the key reward of a return for France on the occasion of these two games against Portugal and Armenia. Recalled for the first time since September 2013, André-Pierre Gignac (28, 17 caps, 4 goals) and Dimitri Payet (27 years, 7 selections) are filled by players this season. And they know they owe in large part to their new coach at OM, Marcelo Bielsa.
According to them, this Thursday at Clairefontaine, you soon realize that the two are completely Olympians ” loco “of their Argentine coach. “From the beginning, I felt he trusted me. He gave me responsibilities entrusted a position that is very important in his system, Dimitri Payet appreciate, including the repositioning point guard play was a success (3 goals, 2 assists). I’m emotional, I have always worked like that. I need to feel the confidence of the coach, it makes me feel good. “Result, the former Lille found a pattern that has long been his guilty pleasure.
With Bielsa,” it is played not a picket, 10 cm for a model “
machine scorer (9 goals in 9 games),” Dede “Gignac said he agreed that beyond individual performance, his return in Blue is also due to the dynamics of the club. And that it is the result of the Argentine. “Last season, I had also been decisive, I scored 22 goals in 44 games. But the team was not running well. There Bielsa has created a team, give confidence to everyone. Something is happening, and the coach has a lot. Really well! “He insists, smiling.
This is where the famous” Bielsa method “, which intrigue as the football world and observers. So what does the former coach of Bilbao so revolutionary? The few explanations suggest heard he just put the players at work. Gignac says: “When I said it was the first time I worked like that, everyone realized that this was the first time at all. No, this is the method that changes. Bielsa’s method, it is rigorous, it’s all in the detail. It is played at a pitch for a post, 10 cm for a dummy. Does not laugh, nor the players, nor the staff, nor the stewards. It is this aspect that is unlike anything I have done before. “
This attention to detail is what then allows players to” explode on the ground “, says Payet. “It is well organized to press a lot and quickly retrieve the ball, so it was almost all the time. Then we freer, are interchanged, we created many chances and goals you score. “And we are reminded in Blue … Finally, there is perhaps a little flat to be made to work Argentina. Asked to compare the ways to make Bielsa and Deschamps, André-Pierre Gignac did not take long to answer. “There’s more game with the coach Deschamps. We are fortunate to often hit the goal, to make small oppositions conservation. That with Bielsa is not, “he says. Before concluding, among smile and sigh: “These ten days are going to be good for that!” The split is good, but one player remains a player
