Qualified for the French Cup final, AS Saint-Etienne was delighted to take his supporters to Saint-Denis to challenge Paris Saint-Germain. But the health crisis seems to represent an insurmountable obstacle.
You would think that a final stop of the season would fix AS Saint-Etienne. And for good reason, the Greens occupied a disturbing 17th place in Ligue 1 before the end of the exercise. Suffice to say that the last 10 days of the championship would be perilous for the Stéphane club, only three lengths from the Nîmes dam. Only here, the Stéphanois still have to play the final of the Coupe de France against Paris Saint-Germain. The opportunity for ASSE to take its green people to the Stade de France for the biggest meeting of its season. Still, the game should be maintained.
At present, nothing is less certain since the authorities, who do not know if the season will be able to resume, plan to organize the meetings behind closed doors. While the authorities are thinking of a gradual deconfinement. Not enough to reassure the general manager Xavier Thuilot. ” If there is only one game to play, this is it, knowing that it only concerns two teams, entrusted the Stéphanois leader to Le Progrès. I wouldn’t have told you the same thing if we were in the quarter-final stage. But can we take our audience to Paris if the deconfinement is done region by region? As a reminder, this final, originally scheduled for April 25, has been postponed to an unknown date.
