AS Saint-Etienne : Etienne – Lyon: OL without mercy, the summary in video | ASSE News

Denis Bouanga, Saint-Etienne striker: “There is almost nothing to say, it’s difficult to explain. We are on alert, we have to move on and quickly take points. We have a thought constantly for the supporters, we regret that they are not in the stadium. We need them, we apologize for spoiling this evening “.

Jean-Michel Aulas, the president of OL, reacted to the victory of his team by commenting on a tweet from a Lyon supporter:

In success on his crosses last night, Léo Dubois also reacted last night after this superb victory against Saint-Etienne: “It is an almost perfect match in the state of mind and the collective. We are reviving in terms of points and victories. We work a lot on set pieces, they were well hit with presence in the box. The supporters made us vibrate this morning, we made them vibrate tonight. I am proud and honored to be able to bring this victory for the club and the president “.

For his part, the Saint-Etienne coach particularly regretted the lack of aggressiveness of his team: “It’s difficult to accept. We are very disappointed and angry with ourselves. Despite everything that has happened these last fortnight (Editor’s note: the workforce has been affected by many cases of Covid-19), we hoped to be at another level. We started the hostilities very well by creating a great opportunity. Then, we suffered instead of being conquerors. And we were punished. All that is our usual strength, I haven’t seen it today. You can’t exist by conceding four goals on set pieces ( …) No pressing, no physical impact. We were too poor in the recovery and we were at the same time weaned from balls. We offered situations to an opponent who did not ask for so much. We missed too many things. We ran into the void. “

Olympique Lyonnais had a historic Sunday evening in Saint-Etienne. The Lyonnais had the perfect match to win 5-0 at Geoffroy-Guichard, which allows OL to be ahead of the statistical record against the Greens for the first time since 1956! 122 derbies have now been played between the two teams in all competitions: 45 wins for OL, 44 for ASSE and 33 draws.

Put under pressure by the victories of PSG in front of Montpellier on Friday (4-0) and of Lille in Rennes a little earlier this Sunday (0-1), OL perfectly ensured in Saint-Etienne with this large victory (0- 5). Nothing therefore changes on the Ligue 1 podium after this 21st day. PSG and Lille are tied for the lead with 45 points and OL are 2 points behind. Monaco, after their victory against OM on Saturday (3-1), is 4th 4 points behind Lyon.

The defender of AS Saint-Etienne, Timothée Kolodziejczak, appeared shot at the microphone of Téléfoot after the final whistle: “It’s a bad evening. We were not good at all, we were done strolls from the first to the last minutes. We ran into the void. It’s a big slap, we are downcast but we will have to start again because there is the maintenance to be obtained at the end of the season. “

OL right-back Léo Dubois, author of two assists tonight, was obviously delighted with this great Lyon victory tonight, at the microphone of Téléfoot: “We had a great match, with a collective state of mind So it’s good. We are relaunching not only in terms of points but also in terms of victories so we are happy. Unlike before, we work a lot on set pieces and it pays. The supporters made us vibrate this morning and I think we made them vibrate tonight. We pass Saint-Etienne in terms of victories in history so I’m proud and honored to bring that to the club and to the president. “

A great opportunity for Olympique Lyonnais as we are in the 82nd minute at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

Rudi Garcia has still not made any changes while the match seems certain for OL. Cherki and Slimani in particular continue to warm up on the edge of the field.

OL seem to put a little less intensity in this meeting, with their advantage of 4 goals within 15 minutes of regulation time. But the Lyonnais continue to control this match and monopolize the ball.

The Greens still have a good twenty minutes to react in this 110th derby in history. But ASSE must also be careful not to concede other goals …

Charles Abi is replaced by Adil Aouchiche in the 69th minute of play in this AS Saint-Etienne – Olympique Lyonnais.

Olympique Lyonnais gets an opportunity to change the score as both teams play the 68th minute in this second period.

The Greens get a corner kicked by Romain Hamouma. But unlike the Lyonnais, who scored their three goals from a set piece, Hamouma shot badly and the ball was cleared far away by the OL defense.

The Greens now have a three-goal deficit to overcome against Olympique Lyonnais in this home derby. There is only half an hour left to play at Geoffroy-Guichard.

Olympique Lyonnais gets an opportunity to change the scoreboard while the two teams are in the 59th minute in this 2nd half.

Karl Toko Ekambi finally got up after several minutes spent on the ground after this contact with Kolodziejczak. The former Villarreal player takes his place again, but Rudi Garcia has asked Rayan Cherki to speed up his warm-up.

The referee, Benoit Bastien, sends a warning to Kolo, the AS Saint-Etienne player.

Karl Toko Ekambi (Olympique Lyonnais) got injured when we are in the 53rd minute in this part

Claude Puel gives voice since the return of the locker room and asks a lot of his players in terms of efforts. But above all he asks them to “play”.

Benoit Bastien signals a change: Baptiste Gabard makes his exit and Denis Bouanga comes into play for AS Saint-Etienne.

Alpha Sissoko is replaced by Arnaud Nordin in the 46th minute of play in this match.

This 110th derby turns into a break totally to the advantage of Olympique Lyonnais. Apart from an alert early in the match during a recovery from Moueffek on a cross from Hamouma, the Lyonnais dominated the head and shoulders this first period. The Saint-Etienne team, amputated by many players, does not manage to get out of its camp at all and to be dangerous. Les Gones scored twice from a set piece, thanks to Kadewere (16th) following a corner and Marcelo (36th) from a free kick. OL are in perfect control for the moment, but beware of a Saint-Etienne reaction in the second half.

Launched on the right side, Karl Toko Ekambi crosses at the end of the race towards Memphis but this time it is Jessy Moulin who manages to capture the ball first in the box. He raises quickly behind but the Stéphanois lose the ball quickly.

Olympique Lyonnais has just won a corner in this 1st period. We are at the 42nd minute in Saint Etienne.

Even led 2-0, the Greens do not manage to react at all and continue to suffer the domination of Lyon. Claude Puel will have to, if he can, change things at half-time so as not to see his team sink.

The Lyonnais continue to push even though they are already leading 2-0 in this first period. Kadewere still finds himself in a good position in the box and hooks Moulin before crossing but Sissoko comes back to clear in disaster.

Olympique Lyonnais gets a great opportunity to change the score as both teams are in the 36th minute in this 1st half.

Once again found in a good position on the right wing, Léo Dubois crosses but does not find any of his teammates at the far post. Tino Kadewere commits a fault on Sissoko anyway.

Certainly unhappy with the performance of his team this evening, Claude Puel has already sent three players to warm up on the edge of the field (Krasso, Nordin and Youssouf). The Greens coach could make quick changes in this game.

Claude Puel’s players really have a hard time building and creating offsets. The Lyon midfielder reigns over this match for now.

Bruno Guimaraes, the Olympique Lyonnais player, inherited a yellow card in the 23rd minute, in this 1st period.

The Lyonnais really took the ascendancy in this meeting after five minutes in favor of ASSE at the start of the match. The goal has not changed the situation and the Gones continue to suffocate the Greens in their camp.

On this corner well hit hard at the near post by Memphis Depay, the Stéphanoise defense was missed when clearing the ball and Tino Kadewere, absolutely alone in the six meters, was able to be more prompt than Moulin to push the ball to the bottom of the fillets. OL take the advantage in this derby after a quarter of an hour of play (0-1)!

A great opportunity for Olympique Lyonnais as we play the 16th minute at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

Mattia De Sciglio accelerates on the left side and finds Maxence Caqueret. In the axis, the young Lyon midfielder gave him perfectly in the race but the Italian side lacked his control when he could have found himself alone against Moulin.

Claude Puel is very motivated for this derby and gives voice, standing in front of the sidelines. He encourages his young players a lot and that can be understood, in an empty Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.

Perfectly launched in depth by Hamouma, Charles Abi decides to strike directly as first intention when he was in a good position and that he could perhaps have controlled. It is largely missing.

Olympique Lyonnais gets a free kick in this 1st period, which will be played in a few moments. We play the 8th minute of play at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

Well found at the entrance to the area after a good action from Caqueret in particular, Kadewere decides to strike while De Sciglio arrived thrown on his left in a good position … but the former player from Le Havre did not see him .

What an opportunity for ASSE to enter! Romain Hamouma escapes on the left side and puts Marcelo down before crossing. At the far post, Moueffek arrives launched and opens his foot but the ball shaves the amount of Anthony Lopes!

The players of AS Saint-Etienne and Olympique Lyonnais enter the lawn of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium! The kick-off of this 110th derby is now imminent.

This will be the 110th derby between St Etienne and Lyon in Ligue 1 tonight. The record has so far been perfectly balanced (39 wins each, 31 draws). However, the Greens have won only one of their last 7 games against Gones in the top flight (one game for five losses). It was October 6, 2019 (1-0).

In a pre-match press conference, Saint-Etienne coach Claude Puel assured that his team would be ready to play this match against OL this Sunday evening: “It’s a derby. not hide it and we will be ready for this match. We are living things which are particular, but that should not destabilize the players. I congratulated them on their behavior during the last match (in Strasbourg, defeat 0-1). It’s a group that responds, that does not let go … Now, what interests me is to please our supporters, whatever team is aligned. “

Olympique Lyonnais coach Rudi Garcia has long insisted in a press conference on the fact that his team is not the favorite against Claude Puel’s men, despite the difference between the two teams in the standings: “We want to resume our match ahead. We had a poor performance last weekend, so here we just want to win. But in a derby, there is no favorite, confessed the technician from Rhone. I would prefer Saint-Étienne to have all its players available. Regardless of the players we will face, we expect a determined team. In a derby, everything is open. We have to play it thoroughly. “

AS Saint-Etienne will be deprived of many players for this derby against Olympique Lyonnais, in particular because of a cluster at the Saint-Etienne training center. In addition to the three injured (Mason, Khazri and Retsos), Claude Puel will not be able to count on seven other players (Bajic, Debuchy, G. Silva; Green, Monnet-Paquet, Moukoudi and Souici). Fortunately, the Stéphanois coach records the return of five of the ten absent from last Sunday in Alsace (Abi, Bouanga, Hamouma, Kolodziejczak and Youssouf). Even if a doubt remains concerning the competitiveness of these five players.
