AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE – OL: Balbir is afraid Lopes will stick his knee forward | ASSE News

Often criticized for his outings, Anthony Lopes is scary before facing Saint-Etienne next weekend with Lyon. Denis Balbir, commentator for M6, gave a worrying analysis of the player and is very afraid of his behavior in the derby.

“Is there a problem with the Lyon goalkeeper today? We can feel him today weakened in his outings. Since the Angers controversy, Anthony Lopes has stepped outside with his knee less often for fear of being sanctioned. Now I think he’ll put his knee back on when there is the derby… His problem seems fleeting to me. He is a goalkeeper accustomed to the high level, accustomed to craning his back to criticism about his explosive style, his size, “said the Goal! Consultant.

Before continuing his explanation: “He has a personality that makes him often at the center of controversy. We’re not gonna spread all the stories he’s been in. From Metz to Everton via Marseille or Bastia, we can understand that he is annoying people. Me the first. Now he looks like OL. Underperformance is only there to motivate him. I expect him to put out a fiery match in the derby against Saint-Etienne. And believe me, if he’s got to go out and put on the knee, he’s going to put it on. “
