AS Saint-Etienne : Claude Puel looks back on Loïc Perrin’s red card | ASSE News

The fact of the match between PSG and AS Saint-Etienne will remain Loïc Perrin’s tackle on Kylian Mbappé at the half-hour mark. The Saint-Etienne captain was sent off and the Parisian striker came out, injured his ankle. If ASSE held high for the Parisians, even at 10 against 11, some of its players found the sanction of the red card unfair. Not Claude Puel, the coach of the Greens, who conceded an excess of commitment at this moment and who wanted to send a message to Kylian Mbappé.

“There it touched Loïc, we can not say that it is a small young. The investment, the commitment and the quality of the players opposite … They have such a boost, they can make the difference at any time. I think we still have small moments of management where you have to get involved but remain in control of your actions. It’s also about learning, you have to find the right mix. I regret the injury for Kylian, hope it is light. There was no intention to hurt. The intention was to play the ball but it goes too fast ”, explained the French coach at a press conference.
