AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE: Saint-Etienne is not so bad, Pierre Ménès is surprised | ASSE News

After the suspense against Rennes at Geoffroy-Guichard (2-1) Thursday, Saint-Etienne won his ticket for the final of the Coupe de France.

At the Stade de France, the Greens will face Paris Saint-Germain in a historic poster. What cheer up a whole people, who suffer terribly this year in view of the catastrophic season of Saint-Etienne. And yet, ASSE had a way of living a much less painful season according to Pierre Ménès, who estimated on his blog that if Saint-Etienne had played all year as during the match against Rennes, then the club would certainly be not 16th in Ligue 1 with only two points ahead of Nîmes, current roadblocker…

“I haven’t seen all of Saint-Etienne’s games in full this year, but I don’t think I am much wrong when I say that this is without doubt the best performance of the Greens this season. Not playing their skin on this match, having positive pressure instead of the negative pressure that seems to accompany them every weekend in Ligue 1 has changed this team. The Puel players dominated the Rennes over the entire match and fully deserve their qualification “ said Pierre Ménès before turning to the final against PSG. “38 years after the Greens will therefore again play a Coupe de France final. Wink of fate, it will face the same opponent, PSG. This legendary 1982 final with Borelli’s famous kiss on the Park’s lawn was the first Coupe de France final that I covered as a journalist. “ From now on, the journalist impatiently awaits this historic poster, but very unbalanced it must be said.
