AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE: win against Brest … to save themselves | ASSE News

With 39 points on the clock before this 34th day, Saint-Etienne can exceed the symbolic bar of 40 points against Brest. Probably enough to keep going.

Almost validate its maintenance. This is the goal of ASSE which receives Brest this Saturday afternoon at Geoffroy-Guichard (13 hours). The Stéphanois, 13th in L1 are still not officially saved. A success against the Brestois (15th) and it would practically be the case.

“It is in these moments that we see real men”

Peruvian defender Miguel Trauco does not hide the importance of this meeting. “I think so, this is the maintenance game. We are missing a point or two to validate our place in L1 next season. We have always had confidence in our qualities to achieve this“.

Even though ASSE has made it difficult, the team has been doing better in recent weeks. “It did not go far against Paris last weekend (3/2 defeat at the last second). It’s like that. Honestly, I think our ranking doesn’t really reflect the quality of this group.“, continues the defender.

There remains the reality of the classification and this disappointing 13th place. Miguel Trauco adds: “we are determined to win this match against Brest in order to maintain ourselves. It is a direct competitor. And as they say at home in Peru, it’s when the hottest moments arrive that we see real men“.
