Southampton manager praises ‘technical’ Romeu

Show/hide article…

Southampton manager Claude Puel played in the same position as Oriol Romeu – but admits the Spaniard is a better player than he ever was.

Romeu has emerged as one of Saints’ key men this season, with the former Barcelona man excelling at the base of Puel’s midfield.

Puel was himself a tough-tackling defensive midfielder during a 19-year career with Monaco, but he says the Spaniard is superior on the ball.

“He’s more technical,” Puel said at his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against Chelsea, another of Romeu’s former clubs.

"I was a different generation. I played in front of the defence and I had a good recovery of the ball, but now it’s important in modern football to have a player in this position who is very technical.

“To play in this position, it’s important the player can have a good ability to work the ball and to change and to switch it wide.”

Once again this summer Saints lost key players, and once again it seems to have made little difference, with Romeu stepping seamlessly into Victor Wanyama’s role following his move to Tottenham.

Southampton boss Claude Puel praises Oriol Romeu role

Show/hide article…

Claude Puel played in the same position as Oriol Romeu but insists the Southampton midfielder is a “more technical” player than he was.

The Spaniard has emerged as one of Saints’ key men this season, with the former Barcelona and Chelsea man excelling at the base of Puel’s midfield.

Puel was himself a tough-tackling defensive midfielder during a 19-year career with Monaco, but he says Romeu is superior on the ball.

“He’s more technical,” Puel said at his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against Chelsea, live on Sky Sports 1HD.

"I was a different generation. I played in front of the defence and I had a good recovery of the ball, but now it’s important in modern football to have a player in this position who is very technical.

"To play in this position, it’s important the player can have a good ability to work the ball and to change and to switch it wide while anticipating the situation.

"It’s important because it’s a part of the team and all the opponents try to make a good pressing, because every ball recovery on this play is dangerous for the team.

“It is important for this player to be a good technical player, to not lose the ball and to start the action with quality.”

Once again this summer Southampton lost key players, and once again it seems to have made little difference, with Romeu stepping seamlessly into Victor Wanyama’s role following his move to Tottenham.

“Tough tackling is the first quality of the player in this position,” added Puel. “But in this position it is important to protect the defence. That is the role of Oriol with us.”

Another former Stamford Bridge player, full-back Ryan Bertrand, could return against his old side after recovering from a hamstring injury.

But Jay Rodriguez is a doubt after going off against Sunderland in the EFL Cup in midweek after a clash of heads while Cedric Soares, Matt Targett and Shane Long are still out.

Back-up keeper Alex McCarthy will be missing from the bench after picking up a hamstring problem against the Black Cats which will sideline him for two to three weeks.

Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Diego Costa will fail against Southampton, says legend

Show/hide article…

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conto has said: “I don’t think a win or a defeat can change my idea or my players confidence” ahead of their Premier League match against Southampton.

Manager Antonio Conte claims Chelsea were ‘unlucky’ in their 2-1 defeat against West Ham

That’s according to Saints hero Matt Le Tissier who believes the club can halt Antonio Conte’s side at St Mary’s.

The former striker has backed Virgil van Dijk to take care of current Premier League top goalscorer Diego Costa.

He told Sky Sports: “Virgil van Dijk is the perfect player to deal with Diego Costa.

“He’s got all the right physical attributes to handle him, with strength and pace, and he’s also got the right temperament to not get wound up by him.
