Ghanaian international Alexander Djiku is hoping for a bright start to the 2021-2022 French Ligue 1 campaign when his side takes on Angers.
Djiku mentioned that Strasbourg have always struggled at the beginning of the season but they are hoping to commence this season on a good note.
“These last two years, we have not started the season very well. We will play three home games during the month of August. It’s up to us to take as many points as possible,” Djiku stated at the pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Sunday’s fixture.
“The coach wants us to establish our forward play and counter-pressing. He arrived with his playing plans. We have to have fun and keep going.
“Angers are a rough team that makes few mistakes. They have a solid and experienced central defence with [Romain] Thomas and [Ismael] Traore.”
“It’s a pleasure to be able to have the fans back again. We can’t wait to play in a full stadium. We saw last year, without them we were in trouble,” Djiku added.
The towering central defender has been linked with Real Betis and a hope of other teams and could make a move before the season ends.
