Beaten by Stade Brest (4-1), ASSE are playing big in their next outing. Saint-Étienne will be opposed to Lille OSC of Christophe Galtier. Former coach of the Greens, the Lille coach has spoken of his reunion.
Christophe Galtier sets the tone against ASSE
On Saturday, AS Saint-Étienne conceded a seventh defeat in a row in the league on the lawn of Stade Brest (4-1). A shock awaits ASSE on its next outing in Ligue 1. Sunday, Saint-Étienne (16th) will cross swords with Lille. Lille OSC are the current runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain and have a resounding success against FC Lorient (4-0). Asked after this victory, Christophe Galtier planned on the meeting against the Greens. The Lille coach does not intend to give his former club a gift. “We will have to achieve a result if we want to fight for the podium”, first launched the Marseille technician at the microphone of Telefoot.
Galtier, next executioner of Sainté?
For Christophe Galtier, there will be no question of feeling when returning to Geoffroy-Guichard. “I’m going to go there with a lot of determination and ignore the feelings you may have when you come back to a club where you’ve spent seven or eight seasons, where you’ve had great success. The context is particular with an empty stadium, with Saint-Etienne not doing well. But I’m not going to fall asleep on it, “warned the Lille OSC coach. Since arriving in Lille, Saint-Étienne has been one of the most successful opponents at Galtier. LOSC are on a three-game winning streak against ASSE. This does not bode well as the Greens of Claude Puel are tough in the league.
