Maxence Chapuis, the former ASSE reserve captain and who is now an Annecy player, promoted to National, returned during an interview for the newspaper But! ASSE on the ambitions of Annecy. But first of all, he returned to the beautiful season of Annecy in National 2, declaring “It was a beautiful season. It ended a little in fishtail with the coronavirus but we are not there for “Nothing. Our climb was not stolen. We had big matches but we were in the lead with two points ahead of Grasse.” For him, who was an important element in the defense of Annecy (best defense of his group), the season has been good. And he confirmed that he intended to stay in Annecy, explaining “I had a clause in my contract to stay in case of a rise, and I decided to lift it. We agreed with the leaders “I am fine here. It is a beautiful city, not very far from Saint-Etienne, and we have a good group. We will take up this new challenge with the rise in National.” Especially since the club is very followed by its supporters, which is a plus as explained by Chapuis “We are followed. At home, we have to make 1500 or 2000 spectators on average, and outside there There are always people following us, in particular Fécé Force 12. They set the mood. It’s warm. And the people here make me think of Stéphanois. They have the same values. “

“We are going to arrive in a championship that we do not know”

Chapuis has also returned to the Green club, through his teammates because two of them have also played at ASSE, namely Romain Spano and Anthony Le Tallec. When asked if the two players were going to continue the adventure with Annecy, he said “If they haven’t lied to me, yes! With Romain Spano, we are inseparable anyway, it’s the 3rd club where we play together. And Anthony Le Tallec told me he would stay. That’s good. With them two, we have a good attack and the club recruited. I’m happy to continue with them. ” Good news for the club of the Alps, which will discover the National and which will have in heart to make good figure, as explained Chapuis “I think that for the first year, it will be a question of making good figure. to arrive in a championship that we don’t know. But there is ambition in Annecy. It’s a club that knows how to give itself the means. ” A first year which could therefore be beautiful for Annecy.

But Maxence Chapuis remains a former Green and he does not forget his heart club, tackling the delicate season of ASSE. He explained “A lot has happened. The disappointment is the course in the Europa League. If ASSE had figured well, it could have created a dynamic. But the season can still end well with the final of the Coupe de France, even if opposite, it will be heavy. ” And when the subject of the extension of Loïc Perrin, whom he knows well and with whom he is always in contact, is broached, he declares “It is the coach Puel who decides, it is he who manages his group, but frankly, it would be nice if he continued. It would be a fair reward for what he brought to the club. And I’m sure he can still contribute.

Finally, Chapuis returned to his years in the Green jersey, confident that the two coaches who marked him are Romain Revelli and Jean-Philippe Primard. He explains “Primard, I had it in reserve. And Revelli, I had it in U17 Nationals, as Galtier’s assistant with the pros, and later at Andrézieux. He also brought me to Evian but the “The experience was cut short in 2016, since after a month and a half of preparation, the club had filed for bankruptcy. I returned to Andrézieux, suddenly.” He also remembered his best memory with ASSE, which is “The course in Gambardella, even if we lost against Nice in the final. And the rise from CFA2 to CFA with Batlles and Oleksiak as coaches.” Then his prettiest goal which was scored during the “semi-final of Gambardella, in Orleans, against Brest. I scored the goal of the victory on the last corner, with a big strike in the skylight. my most important goal so far. ” Pretty memories for the 26-year-old, who also told others, which you can find in the newspaper But!
