To the delight of football, Hatem Ben Arfa found a club this winter. It is at LOSC that the 34-year-old attacking midfielder will try to revive himself and prove that he can still perform at the highest level. His first steps in his new colors, during the defeat in Brest (0-2), were generally encouraging, the French international (15 caps, 2 goals) having brought percussion and activity to an offensive sector who was sorely lacking that day. Present at a press conference this Friday on the sidelines of the shock against PSG on Sunday (8:45 p.m., 23rd day of Ligue 1), Benjamin André and Jocelyn Gourvennec spoke of the astonishing form in which HBA finds itself according to them.
“I am pleasantly surprised. In general, when you cut for so long (265 days without playing, editor’s note), you say to yourself that it is difficult to maintain a certain physical dynamic. But I found it very sharp. He had the canes from his first training sessions. He still has his back, his starting qualities and one against one. Logically, you’re supposed to lose your bearings when you train less with a group. And I found him very comfortable. I don’t know if he can play 90 minutes, but he has the rods to bring us something in a match.first entrusted the Dogues midfielder, before his coach followed suit. “He shows very good athletic ability, he has good feelings. He will be even better in the coming weeks by playing and training regularly. It’s true that it’s a good surprise to see him at this level after this break. It will be interesting for us. » Ben Arfa will probably be keen to be decisive against his former club on Sunday.
