As they approach their final home match of the season against Bastia this Saturday, May 2nd, En Avant Guingamp is reflecting on what defines a good captain. Sylvain Ripoll, the coach, and Dylan Louiserre, the player and current captain, shared their vision of the essential qualities required for the one who wears the armband at the Breton club.

Dylan Louiserre, appointed captain in 2024 under the management of Stéphane Dumont, has become a cornerstone of the Guingamp squad. Since his nomination, he has consistently held this crucial position, demonstrating a reliability and leadership valued by both staff and teammates.

According to both men, a good captain is first and foremost "someone who shows the way." This implies not only exemplary performances on the field but also an ability to inspire, communicate, and unite the group, both in victories and during challenging times.

The captain's role is even more vital for a club like En Avant Guingamp, which relies on cohesion and team spirit. He must act as a link between the technical staff and the players, a natural leader capable of taking initiative and maintaining everyone's motivation.

For Dylan Louiserre, the match against Bastia will mark his 76th appearance on the team sheet as captain, a significant milestone that underscores his commitment and growing importance within the Guingamp squad. His continuous presence is a guarantee of stability for the team.

This reflection on leadership comes as EA Guingamp aims to conclude their home season on a positive note, relying on the values of fighting spirit and solidarity embodied by their captain.
