Challenging Test for the Leader at the Olimpico de Sousse
The Press — By defeating ASM at Hedi Ennaifer in the 7th round of L1, ST secured its 4th consecutive victory, maintained its invincibility, and consolidated its leadership. However, today's delicate trip to Sousse to face Etoile proves to be a serious test for the leader, who has the opportunity to step up and prove that its current status is deserved. Chokri Khatoui intends to extend the team's winning streak at the Olimpico, even against Mohamed Ali Nafkha's team.
Reassuring Framework, Reliable Alternatives
The teammates of captain Marouen Sahraoui firmly believe in confirming the positive trend at the Olimpico for several reasons:
- The team is performing well, and nothing seems to be able to stop the current momentum.
- Despite the reputation of the opponent, the match is winnable in Sousse.
- The technical staff has undoubtedly found a solution to the team's initially ineffective attack.
- The recent rotation established by Khatoui in the midfield and attack allows the players to recover quickly and not be overworked.
Today, if the peak of confidence recently reached allows ST to serenely approach this match against ESS, Khatoui still thinks that his team will have to put in the effort to emerge victorious. To do this, he would opt for a classic 4-3-3 formation with:
- Farhati in the woods
- The Sghaier-Sahraoui pair in the axis
- Aziz Saihi on the left flank
- Iyadh Riahi on the right side
- The Touré-Smâali-Thiam trio in the midfield (although Ouerghemi and Amath Ndaw are also ready to start)
- An attacking trio composed of Saâfi on the right wing, Firas Aifia (or Habboubi) on the opposite wing, and Amadou Ndiaye at the forefront.
