The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stade-Rennais-FC-c40612 midfielder has enjoyed a great start to his Ligue 1 career and has praised the club coach for showing faith in him and giving him a chance at this level
The 23-year-old, who was signed by Les Rouges et Noirs at the start of the season from Ligue 2 side, Clermont Foot, has been in fine form for Rennes and has already scored 4 goals in his debut season.
The player is enjoying his time in the top flight and has expressed his delight at the way things are going for him at the moment. While talking to reporters, the Frenchman stated that playing in the Ligue 1 is amazing and he is pleased with his form.
Praising Rennes coach, Frederic Antonetti, the former Clermont Foot player said that the boss has helped him a lot in a very short span of time and he is more disciplined now because of him.
"The coach has instilled some positional discipline in me.”
Alessandrini added that the coach wants him to play on the flanks and stay there and avoid making too many runs inside. The player said that this is what he has been trying to do and it has improved his game in many ways.
“He wants me to stay on the flank, unless there's a good run to make inside, that's what I try to do.”
The 23-yaer-old said that in Ligue 2, he used to make a lot of runs but this is not the case with Rennes anymore. Following instructions is the most important thing and this is what Alessandrini is trying to do.
“In the second division I used to run everywhere because I wanted to touch the ball as much as possible, I wanted to feel useful to the team, but I've realised the balls will come if I respect the instructions.”
Talking about life in Ligue 1, the midfielder said that he is so happy to be playing in the top division and is looking forward to improve even further.
“I'm so happy to be playing in Ligue 1, I just don't hesitate when I have the chance to shoot and thankfully things are going my way."
