Habib Beye, a Canal Plus consultant, gave his opinion on the worrying situation of ASSE in the Ligue 1 ranking.
“The problem of Saint-Etienne is elsewhere than in the cage. It is in the goals, but it is also elsewhere. It’s not just on Ruffier, said the consultant. Collectively, it’s hard to understand what the game project has been for weeks and weeks. This is also the problem. Today, when we see a smaller workforce than that of Saint-Etienne, we can still see something else. It produces play. ”
Before continuing: “But on ASSE, I watch Saint-Etienne every weekend and I have trouble coming up with a very specific game plan, something that Puel is putting in place. It feels like this team doesn’t look like him. It’s also a coaching and management issue. ”
