AS Saint-Etienne : a new challenge takes shape for Etienne Green | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: the complete list of the Greens

And to think that he was only 3rd goalkeeper of the U19 two years ago … It may seem incredible but while he was of the generation that won the Gambardella Cup two years ago, Etienne Green did not had not played a single match during the competition. A competition for which the current holder of the Stéphanois goals was only n ° 3 in the hierarchy of Razik Nedder behind Stefan Bajic, often decisive, and Nathan Crémillieux. Often selected for the French youth team, Crémillieux is now without a club. He returned to his parents on the Valencia side while waiting to bounce back. Bajic is slow to extend his contract with the Greens, which expires in a year. Failing to seize his chance in the three matches played with ASSE in the last two seasons, for as many defeats, the international U20 does not really know what will be his future, which he was promised so brilliant.

He should be Lafont’s understudy at the Olympics

Lining Jessy Moulin this season, Bajic could well go down one rank in the hierarchy if he stays at the club. Because it is hard to imagine Green not starting the 2021-22 fiscal year, after what he has just shown this spring. His chance, the native of Colchester was able to seize it, contributing to the maintenance of the Greens, to their rise in the standings. If success accompanied him, with 8 small opponents repelled by his amounts in 8 matches played, Green the aptly named imposed itself naturally. Good at the foot, good in the air, good on his line, impeccable even in his behavior, he did not steal his contract extension. Now linked to the club until June 2024, he embodies the future. His season continued with his first call-up for the Espoirs, during the final phase of the Euro, where he was able to take advantage of the absence of Alban Lafont, retained by FC Nantes to play the play-offs against Toulouse. And this summer, a new challenge could await him, always with the Hopes, with the Olympic Games in Tokyo, from July 22 to August 7. Holder during the final phase of the Euro, Illan Meslier, usual lining of Lafont, indeed risks being retained by his club, Leeds. The Yokshire club have expressed their willingness not to release the former Lorient, and Green could therefore take the opportunity to gain a rank in the hierarchy of Sylvain Ripoll. And fly to Tokyo!
