As leader, AS Saint-Etienne midfielder Yann M’Vila (29, 31 games in all competitions this season) used strong words Thursday, after the Greens’ victory against Rennes (2-1), synonymous of qualification for the final of the Coupe de France.
“It would be good if we put ourselves in this mode in the championship. We must already keep the same state of mind for Sunday. (…) It is surely a click for everyone. If we could do it tonight , you have to do it in every match. There is no excuse, we will have to repeat this kind of performance until the end of the championship, “warned the Stéphane manager in the mixed zone.
“This victory feels good, we will have to rely on it to garner maximum points and get out of the difficult areas of the ranking as quickly as possible,” added M’Vila. As a reminder, ASSE is having a particularly complicated season in Ligue 1, with a sad 16th place after 27 days.
