Loïc Perrin, 35 years old on August 7, left Saint-Étienne with a heavy heart and without a word on Saturday. As soon as the final of the Coupe de France ended, the club granted five days of rest to the players. The whole group then broke up on the forecourt of the Stade de France. Claude Puel, the general manager of ASSE, remained in Paris. Mathieu Debuchy returned home to Lille. After landing at Andrézieux-Bouthéon (Loire) airport in one of the two planes chartered by the club at 4 a.m. because of an endless doping control by Timothée Kolodziejczak, Perrin left in vacation with his wife and two children. Far from Saint-Étienne, with his dark thoughts and in silence.
