AS Saint-Etienne : Puel speaks ahead of Lille match | ASSE News

Zapping Foot National Top 10: the best scorers in history for the French team

Claude Puel does not think that Lille will be stunned after Lille’s defeat against Nice on the last day. The former coach of Leicester (and Lille also) thinks that the champions of France will have a reaction of pride and that Saint-Etienne will have to respond present. “Lille will force us to be efficient (…) there is nothing to fear, they will have a reaction, they are champions of France, they won a trophy against Paris. We know that they will be present, we will have a big game to play against them “.

Asked about the ambition of the Greens this season, Puel prefers to see in the short term: “The ambition, it is ankle to the body, every day in training. That is the ambition, it is not to tell you that we are going to finish at such and such a place (…) We would not have managed a full match in Lens if we were not ambitious “.

On the workforce, some players are in the recovery phase for the residents of Geoffrey-Guichard: “Sissoko is in trouble with a thigh, there are no injuries or suspended. There are different degrees of recovery like Moueffek (resumption of the race), Charles (still impacted) is also in recovery. “

On the transfer window, Puel does not refrain from possible arrivals, especially in view of the absence of certain players for the CAN, even if he thinks that it remains difficult. “If one or two players join us, we will pay attention (on the Can) but on the possibility that players join us, you are very optimistic.
