At the end of the week, and three days after the Cup match between AS Saint-Etienne and Rennes, the Greens will receive the Girondins de Bordeaux on behalf of the 28th day of Ligue 1. And we can say that many observers and consultants are not optimistic about the future of ASSE and its end of the season. Small anthology:
Christophe Dugarry : “We have been concerned about the situation in Saint-Etienne for a while, and I do not see any improvement. Sometimes there are small bursts, small reactions … But it is so insufficient in this championship which certainly does not shine by its technical quality, but which offers envy for the teams which are at the bottom of the ranking. Amiens is not going to let it be like that, Nîmes has managed to get his head out of the water, Dijon is formidable at home, Metz which is just above Saint-Etienne shows more qualities than ASSE… Sincerely, There is nothing reassuring for Saint-Etienne because in addition, we see them tremble, we see them chilly. Certainly there are experienced players. But I don’t believe in this theory of bosses who are going to get you out of the team. When you are the head in the seal, the bosses are with the others, they sink. I don’t see how they’ll get out and I think they’ll be in the cart. ”
Jean-Michel Larque : “I am sad, and above all worried. Because, even if there have been some reasons for satisfaction, when we look at the duration, for some time, it is a real disaster “indignant Jean-Michel Larqué, before continuing. “You have to fear the worst, it’s a good fear, imagine that the club can go down. I think there are a lot of people, supporters, and I am one, who are in this case. Except that there is a category of people who do not imagine that ASSE is in danger: they are the ones who wear the green jersey today. It’s the most terrible. The players are zero. Void and not invested. Those who could be free from any reproach, it is one of the oldest, Debuchy, or the two youngest who are called Fofana and Saliba. But the others are a real disaster. When I think that Yann M’Vila had requirements at the start of the season for someone to coach. It’s been years since he scored a goal or an assist. He wants to be demanding this gentleman? And I could cite others. When I think that an agent says of his player that he is a legend and that we don’t dismiss a legend… But we must tell them that ASSE existed before them, that it had a history before them ” .
Pierre Ducrocq : “Any game today, when you are AS Saint-Etienne, you have to go, try to recreate something. I wouldn’t even talk about the results, it sounds so complicated, but the sequences of games, the quarter hours a little better, a half time… The Cup match can be used for that but you have no choice. The cup is a game that you have to play hard. “
