Some young talent from CF Montreal is causing a stir. Do they want to leave or stay? Expectations were high for Olivier Renard, who was promoted as vice-president and chief sports officer on Thursday, but he felt no pressure. It is even satisfying for him to see his coveted players on the international stage.
When we talk about players that we don’t know when they arrived and now people are afraid to see them leave, it means that there has been good progress in the meantime. I’m not worried. If an important player leaves, it is my duty to replace him or her with an important new player or a grown child.said Olivier Renard on Friday.
Róbert Thorkelsson, for example, doesn’t play much. You may think this is a bad acquisition. But I tell you let us prepare them. They are young. They should eat black bread before playing. We see them evolving every day.He added.
For now, CF Montreal will have to wait to see if offers come true for some players, while the steps are planned. The summer transfer window has been launched in Europe and, although he is satisfied with his workforce, the sports chief is open to letting in some elements.
I am ready for any position. No player is indispensable on the team. There are players who matter, but no one who matters. On the day there is a proposal and the sporting side is ready to release a player, I discuss it on the board and we decide at that time. Certainly if I’m not ready to replace a player, it means me and my team aren’t doing a good job.he explained.
Asked if the player’s departure could take place this summer, he replied: possible.
As he announced earlier this season, Olivier Renard intends to consider the will of the players. He sees no urgency in making exchanges, but he is ready for any event.
Keeping someone against their will is not a good thing in the sport in general and I don’t hide that. If a player wants to leave, that’s the beginning. It’s definitely not going to go away for free when I consider that it’s worth it. The three parties must agreehe said.
However, he reiterated several times that he was not stressed knowing that players could receive offers. That’s where the challenges for his team will begin.
I always say that the most important player is the player who comes and replaces the player who leaves. When an important player leaves, everyone thinks about what would happen to us without him. […] Everyone is talking about Djordje [Mihailovic] now, but even the last game when he came out after a few minutes, we scored four goals afterwards. The team is not just Djordje even though he is an important player. Team sport yan. If a person is an individual, we play tennis.
However, he is clear to the agents of CF Montreal players. Although he was open to moving, he had no plans to abandon his entire troop.
Nor does it aim to leave five, six or seven players in a transfer window. Players and agents also know this. This is the first offer to come in or one is interested in selling. Then, if it is more than two, three or four players, the door will be closed at that timehe concludes.
