ASSE poster – Rennes: the reason for Ruffier’s withdrawal in favor of Diony

The ASSE reacted to the controversy over the removal of the image of Stéphane Ruffier on the poster for the Coupe de France against Rennes. The club recognizes that the photo of the goalkeeper has indeed been removed. But she learns that this is justified by the fact that theAS Saint-Etienne wanted to avoid interpretations.

The 33-year-old doorman found himself back to back with coach Claude Puel on the initial poster. However, the two men are at loggerheads at this time. “Stéphane Ruffier and Claude Puel appeared back to back on the first poster and we preferred to replace it with Loïs Diony to avoid any interpretation as to the position of the coach and his goalkeeper, given the situation”, explained ASSE on a daily basis Progress.

Did Stéphane Ruffier’s agent complicate the task of his foal?

It should be remembered that the coach and general manager of the Greens dismissed goalkeeper N ° 1. The latter was absent from the Stéphane group against the Stade de Reims. Stéphane Ruffier has certainly returned to training since Tuesday, but he is not sure whether he will regain his starting place against OL in the derby. It would no longer be decisive and would be little involved in the eyes of Claude Puel.

In addition, the incendiary declarations of the ASSE guardian’s agent, Patrick Glanz, put fuel on the fire. The latter poisoned the relationship between the doorman and his coach, but also pissed off the leaders of the Club. The evidence, the management of Sainté condemned the representative of Ruffier, whose words were judged “Outrageous and abusive”, in an official press release.

Note that it was Jessy Moulin who took the place of N ° 1 in the poles of Sainté facing Reims. He should still hold against Lyon Sunday evening, during the 27th day of Ligue 1.
