This Thursday, a little less than a week after his last match in the jersey of AS Saint-Etienne against Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Coupe de France (0-1), Loïc Perrin retired from sports .
Moved and proud, the center-back has indeed announced that he is hanging up his boots. After 17 years of good and loyal service with the Greens, the emblematic captain of Sainté will therefore leave his place. If the Stéphanois supporters will prepare a nice tribute to him in the stands of the Chaudron during the post-Covid period, Perrin still left the field by the back door. Sent off in ASSE’s loss to PSG, the 34-year-old completed his last game in the dressing room after injuring Kylian Mbappé in the right ankle in a violent tackle. An attack which earned him many criticisms, and in particular from Pierre Ménès. “So I don’t mind him not doing it on purpose. But when you’re 36 and you’ve been boiled for a while, you might not get into this kind of tackle against a striker who goes so fast ”, launched the journalist from Canal + after the final of the Coupe de France.
A frontal attack that did not please Adrien Ponsard at all. “Loïc Perrin’s red card is logical. He is late, he takes Mbappé’s ankle. There is nothing to say. On the other hand, the comments, those of Ménès in particular when he says that Loïc is 36 years old and that he has been boiled for a long time, it is a shame. There are enough of these pro-Parisian journalists. It’s only for PSG! We’ll see what happens against Atalanta, but if the Parisians play like that, they won’t pass. They didn’t show anything and Atalanta is playing! “, swung, on the Goal site, the former Forez striker, who therefore believes that Perrin deserves more respect, and head-on attacking Pierre Ménès often accused of driving for PSG.
