Despite the affordable draw of Lille which inherits Sturm Graz, Sylvain Armand calls for caution against the Austrians.
The only French team in the Europa Conference League, the LOSC pulled Sturm Graz into the round of 16. On paper, the northern club is doing well, but Sylvain Armand, sports coordinator of the Mastiffs, is wary of the Austrian opponent.
“The fact of not having taken Ajax, we’re not going to lie, it’s perhaps a good point all the same,” he declared. Now, it remains a European Cup, all the matches are difficult, we can see it every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. It is therefore not necessarily more obvious to play Sturm Graz. »
Armand announces the color
Armand did not fail to highlight the qualities of the RB Salzburg runner-up. “They are 2nd in their championship, they are a great team, we will have to be careful,” judged the former member of PSG and Rennes. It will be up to us to study them, to do things as they should. »
Finally, the Rhône also displays his ambitions for the competition. “The objective is to go as far as possible,” he said. There, it’s a round of 16, there will perhaps be greater enthusiasm in the stadium with our fans. We have to do our best to go as far as possible in a competition that is close to our hearts. »
Paulo Fonseca’s men will travel to Austria for the first leg on March 7, before hosting Sturm Graz at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium on March 14.
