Sunday afternoon, Saint-Etienne did not fall into the trap of Bastia-Borgo by winning 3-0 on the lawn of Furiani thanks to goals from Nordin (x2) and Fofana.
Like all the other clubs, ASSE will know its opponent this Monday evening for the 16th round of the Coupe de France. And in this competition, the Greens, eliminated from the Europa League and who have no illusions in the League Cup with a perilous trip to Paris, harbor great ambitions. After qualifying for the knockout stages, Wahbi Khazri made no secret of the fact that his ultimate dream was to take the green people to the Stade de France.
Objective Coupe de France for ASSE
“We had a serious match against a great team who tried to play ball. We must put them forward because they made a serious match and they gave everything. We respected the hierarchy by being serious and marking the opportunities we had. For me it’s an exceptional feeling because I’ve never returned to Corsica with an opposing team. I’m happy to be back in this city and this stadium where I knew everything. I thank the audience who were exceptional with me. We are an ambitious club and we must honor the public who still came in large numbers this evening. And why not try to make them vibrate by going up to the Stade de France? “ commented on Bastia’s former attacking midfielder, who publicly displays Saint-Etienne’s ambitions in this competition.
