Four days after their defeat in the derby at Lyon on Sunday (2-0), AS Saint-Etienne receives Stade Rennais in French Cup semi-final Thursday (8:55 pm), between hope of returning to victory, and dreaming of taking the green people to Paris.
For the midfielder Mahdi Camara, present at a press conference Wednesday at l’Etrat, “this semi-final of the Coupe de France is a breath of fresh air”. The Greens are 16th in Ligue 1 and have won only once in their last eleven matches.
