Sports journalist Pierre Ménès criticized ASSE coach Claude Puel’s decision to sideline goalkeeper Stéphane Ruffier.
“The bad patch? It also goes through Puel’s first choice. It was for putting Ruffier out and I think today, unless you’re blind, you see Ruffier has a Mill in each toe. There are 4 shots on target for 4 goals… I think it’s very difficult to finish well classified with a goalkeeper of this level. It’s not just Moulin, but it’s still Puel’s first strong choice to take up his position as general manager at Saint-Étienne, and to throw Ruffier in the trash. We can see the result today. “
