Always criticized, the management of coach Claude Puel is still talked about. Especially in the case of Denis Bouanga, the best player of AS Saint-Etienne this season.
Like many other Ligue 1 boarders, AS Saint-Etienne will not be able to retain its best. The Greens would particularly like to retain young central defender Wesley Fofana, author of a promising season, as well as winger Denis Bouanga (10 goals and 3 assists in L1), seriously coveted by Stade Rennais. It remains to be seen how the former Nîmes Olympique player would react to a concrete offer from the Breton club. No need to wait for the response of the principal concerned, according to Jérôme Rothen, convinced that the management of coach Claude Puel will encourage the Gabonese international to flee ASSE.
Bouanga, Puel’s strange choice
“ Bouanga, he was playing with guys next to him … Even when he made a good pass in half time, you felt like he was floating, criticized the former Parisian on RMC. But Claude Puel did not stabilize him too much in a position. He went right, left. In this left hallway, where I’ve seen him play a few games on his own, I don’t think he’s doing him any good. I think that in his evolution, in my opinion, he may want to leave. Recall that Bouanga did play the post of left piston, a role which does not allow him to express all his offensive potential.
