Issa Cissokho, a key component of Michel Der Zakarian’s tactical setup at Nantes, has solidified his position within the team. With 23 appearances, 22 of which were as a starter, the Senegalese international has become an influential figure in the squad.
Reflecting on their recent defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final, Aly Cissokho’s elder brother expressed his thoughts: “We needed to inject some energy into the game. It demonstrates our resilience; we refused to be overrun. I hope we can maintain this spirit moving forward.” Issa Cissokho, who has provided two assists in the French championship this season, didn’t shy away from commenting on PSG’s style of play:
“They tend to go down easily and waste time on the pitch. It’s part of their high-level experience. It’s incumbent upon us to adopt similar tactics in future matches.”
