Asked on the RMC Football Show this Thursday, Oscar García clarified the gaming ambitions he wants to establish with Stade de Reims this season. They are big.

Oscar García is an ambitious man. The new Reims coach on Thursday revealed some indiscretions about how the club will play this season in Ligue 1. The former Saint-Etienne manager wants to play with the ball like Barça and without him like Salzburg.

“Yes, that’s what I want, even if there are games where you can’t do it. But that’s the idea. Technical players play the ball very well, but not with modern football. It’s not enough. We have to do it.” . more things, that’s what we have to work on ”, explained the Spaniard to the RMC Football Show.

No preferred tactical scheme

Regarding the future game system, the Stade de Reims coach preferred to maintain the suspense. “A three-cushion defense? Not at all, the important thing is the philosophy, not the game system. You can start with one game system and change. For me, it’s not important, you can play three, four.” No problem. We are trying to work out two, three tactical systems that we can use this season. “

Appointed coach of the Champagne club on June 23, the Spaniard is delighted with the work done in recent weeks. “I’m very happy here. Everything they explained to me during the preseason has happened. We have a perfect training center to work in, we have young players. That’s how I like to work.” For now, the work seems to be paying off as Reims have won four of their five friendly matches (wins over Auxerre, Paris FC, Valenciennes, Chambly, loss to Lens). The Rémois must face Hoffenheim this Saturday at 3:30 pm for a dress rehearsal, before kicking off the championship with a trip to Nice, on Sunday, August 8 at 3 pm
