Claude Puel may well repeat that all games are important, this one, facing a direct competitor for maintenance, is worth more than the others: “Tell me about a game where there is no stake and which is not important? We are going to do a lot of games so we have to pay attention to a lot of things. In the management of physical and mental fatigue. Against Nantes, it will be difficult. It’s a dense team that likes to play against. “
Nantes has not won a Ligue 1 match since November 8. And so far the arrival of Raymond Domenech has not changed anything. The former coach of the Blues, landed the day after Christmas at the Canaries, has, for the moment nothing taken out of his hood.
To the Greens therefore not to give any gift to the former player and coach of Lyon. Saint-Étienne must have a second consecutive success. What we haven’t seen since September 12th. It is also the last time that the Greens won against Geoffroy Guichard. An eternity.
ASSE with its two recruits
In this operation, Claude Puel will be able to count on his two new recruits. Defender Pape Cissé and striker Anthony Modeste have received the green light from the Professional Football League and are in the squad to face Nantes. Wahbi Khazri is also making a comeback. All the lights appear to be green for the first time in many weeks.
