Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: Laurent Hess’s edit on Mathieu Debuchy

Since the 2016-2017 season, a jump-off between the 18th in Ligue 1 and the winner of the Ligue 2 playoffs has been played out in a two-way match to win his accession to the elite. This season, the play-off position could be occupied by AS Saint-Etienne, FC Nantes or even the Girondins de Bordeaux, who are not at best in the standings.

Consultant for RMC Sport, Rolland Courbis wished to remind that these clubs could have a big caliber as adversary during the jump-off. “I hope that in every club we are aware of this because there are sometimes weird things, whether it’s series, things that we notice in knowing that they do not lose against so-and-so. I have the impression, and we will see at the end of our championship, that three big clubs since for me Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne are big clubs with a past, and clubs which were, not at the same time, at the head of our French football, and I add Nantes. I do not know if in our championship the three traditional favorites to go down will not be accompanied by one of these three clubs. Now, it is more difficult to go down because there is the jump-off. But when I see our French second division playing with Toulouse, Clermont, I wish the French Ligue 1 club-barrage not to meet these teams. “
