Newly retired and now a Ligue 1 consultant, Loïc Perrin gives advice to Claude Puel for the rest of the season.
Former AS Saint-Etienne center-back talks about the current situation with Riyad Boudebouz who is still a member of the squad. “I hope Claude Puel will call on Ryad Boudebouz. We know how these transfer window episodes work, ‘I’m leaving, I’m not leaving’. What I see is that Ryad has stayed, he is part of the group. We have a real Ligue 1 player. He had some ups and downs last year, even he knows it. But we have a real Ligue 1 player and he is available. Why not use it? “, asked the former captain of Saint-Etienne at the microphone of France Bleu Hérault.
The former Montpellier driver was due to join the Qatari league a few weeks ago but his transfer was ultimately aborted and Boudebouz was forced to stay in Forez. For the moment, Claude Puel is not counting on him but he could well change his mind if the team cannot turn the situation around. This Sunday evening, the Greens face Olympique Lyonnais in the hottest derby in France.
