The departure of Stéphane Ruffier may have been noted for over a month, the subject is still on the corner of the table at ASSE. Now far from Saint-Étienne, Makhtar Gueye (23) is the last to have set foot in it. Transferred by the Greens to Ostend last summer, the attacker trained (in part) at ASSE planted goal after goal in Belgium and does not understand how the leaders were able to get rid of a dismissal of a keeper of the caliber from Basque.
“It’s a lack of respect for the club”
“In the Stéphanois locker room, they all loved me. When I had a bad time, Rémy Cabella, who became like a brother to me, took me to the restaurant. If I was missing something, Lois Diony offered to go shopping for me. I could also quote Wahbi Khazri or Stéphane Ruffier, observes Gueye in the Belgian newspaper Le Vif. I also find it unfortunate that a player like Ruffier, after ten years of good and loyal service, is dismissed for serious misconduct as was the case recently. It’s a lack of respect from the club towards a great guy and a great goalkeeper. In short, at the time, I had no problem with the Greens. If I ended up asking to leave the club at the end of the season to be loaned to Nancy, in Ligue 2, it is mainly because following the change of coach and the arrival of Ghislain Printant, I had the impression of having retreated in the hierarchy. “
🚨 BUTASSE ALERT! 🚨
He is the leader of the Greens! Debuchy sets an example by its commitment under the colors of ASSE. Extending the captain would not be a bad idea …
