Author once again of a dazzling match with AS Saint-Étienne on Sunday in Lille, Etienne Green is on course to stay in the goal of the Greens next season.
Apart from ASSE supporters, the general public did not know Etienne Green, who started in goals for the Greens a few games ago after Jessy Moulin was injured. While the latter had finally succeeded Stéphane Ruffier, it is his young teammate who will probably deprive him of number 1 next season. Etienne Green, son of an English supporter of AS Saint-Étienne and present with the Greens since he was 11 years old, took advantage of the chance given to him by Claude Puel to demonstrate his immense talent. Sunday evening, against Lille, the Saint-Etienne goalkeeper made an impression by notably making a huge parade at the end of the match. Enough to promise him a bright future at ASSE and a hot welcome from the Green People when Geoffroy-Guichard returns to the public.
Asked this Wednesday in Le Progrès, Robin Huc, former goalkeeper for Saint-Étienne, Toulouse and Nice, where he was assistant goalkeeper coach, said all the good things about the 20-year-old goalkeeper. ” On the free kick he deflected off the post, I have to admit that his save really caught my eye. Etienne Green shows complete serenity and he makes the save in a game where he does not touch too many balls. You have to stand out at the right time. I’m impressed, this is the class of the great goalkeepers. It gives off something that is undeniable, it’s clear, crisp and precise. I take my hat off to him. It may be more difficult for him when the season resumes because he will no longer evolve under the seal of recklessness, but given the potential he presents, it’s a safe bet that we will still hear talk about him »Explains, in the regional daily, Robin Huc, convinced that Green will make the Greens see life in pink.
