A revelation of the end of the season for ASSE, Étienne Green looked set to be selected for the Under-21s this summer. But in view of the current trend, the young porter from Saint-Etienne left to stay in Forez.
No Olympics for Étienne Green this summer?
Etienne Green is heading for a little disillusion this summer. Tipped to be part of the Tokyo 2020 expedition, the Saint-Etienne doorman should finally stay in Saint-Étienne. According to The team, the ASSE goalkeeper is not expected to be selected by Sylvain Ripoll for the Olympic tournament in Japan. If that were to be confirmed, it would be a disappointment for the 20-year-old doorman. In view of his end of season with the Greens, he had been called up to the Bleuets to play in the knockout phase of the Euro Espoirs. The coach of the Olympic selection should rely on Alban Lafont (FC Nantes), Paul Bernardoni (Angers) and Gautier Larsonneur (Brest).
Good news for ASSE?
Sylvain Ripoll’s list is still awaited. An absence of Etienne Green would be good news for the Greens. The young goalkeeper is tipped to go number 1 in the hierarchy of goalkeepers at AS Saint-Étienne. Interested in a challenge in Major League Soccer, Jessy Moulin, the current incumbent, could leave ASSE this summer. Two North American franchises are said to be interested in the profile of the 35-year-old goalkeeper. His departure will free up space for his younger brother Green. Which should be ahead of Stefan Bajic in the hierarchy of goalkeepers. A Moulin lining, he has not given satisfaction in his 3 A appearances, all of which ended in defeats.
