Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: Laurent Hess’s edit on the ghost Wahbi Khazri
In a workforce where Claude Puel often had to deal with many injuries, at ASSE, not to mention covids, Romain Hamouma, who celebrated his 34th birthday on Monday, had been spared until this match against Metz ( 1-0) where he had to leave the field shortly after scoring the only goal of the match, with a nice free kick, with the complicity of John Boye, a muscle injury, in the only Stéphane home victory since the month of September, which had kept him away from the field for six weeks. But the former Caen is back and this is obviously good news for ASSE at the start of the final sprint, and before a very important trip to Nîmes this Sunday.
35 matches per season on average, a peak of 40 matches in 2016-17
At the end of the contract, the 2nd top scorer from Saint-Etienne of the season is at the end of the contract and he has not yet received a proposal to extend, like Mathieu Debuchy. According to the EVECT website, it is not his qualities that could hold back leaders, but his propensity for injury. Hamouma is thus qualified as “intermittent of the spectacle”. “Hamouma and the insurmountable threshold of 30 matches”, can we read … The site only totals L1 matches. However, all competitions combined, with the exception of last season, stopped by the Covid, it was only in 2018-19 that Hamouma did not reach the 30-match mark, with 29 matches played ( 4 goals, 4 assists). While he came out of two seasons at 34 and 35 matches with Caen in 2010-11 and 2011-12, here are the striker’s stats since his arrival with the Greens:
2012-13: 38 matches, 7 goals, 5 assists
2013-14: 39 matches, 11 goals, 4 assists
2014-15: 38 matches, 5 goals, 13 assists
2015-16: 33 matches, 8 goals, 3 assists
2016-17: 40 matches, 8 goals, 10 assists
2017-18: 32 matches, 5 goals, 3 assists
2018-19: 29 matches, 4 goals, 4 assists
Balance sheet: Hamouma, who totaled 20 matches (6 goals, 5 assists) before the end of competitions last season, has turned since his arrival in Saint-Etienne at an average of 35.6 matches per season. Rather not bad for a “intermittent du spectacle”!
Romain Hamouma is celebrating his 3️⃣4️⃣ years today.
