Saint-Étienne / Lille is the Saturday night match of this 3rd day of L1. Two clubs that have made a false start in this 2021/2022 season. In other words, it’s time to win!
“We want to show them that it’s complicated to come and make a result here”
But opposite, it is Lille, the reigning French champion, who limps low at the start of the championship. A draw (in Metz) and a 4/0 slap (against Nice) is the poor record of the Mastiffs. In other words, victory is hoped for on both sides this Saturday night.
On the other hand, is this the right time to face Lille, which comes out of a 4/0 rout against Nice last weekend? “We do not really know. We can also see it differently, they will be revenge and will want to win to revive. He is the champion, Lille has already won a trophy this season, against PSG in addition. Let’s not forget that it’s still a very good team. But we want to show them that it’s complicated to come and do a result in the Cauldron“, says Yvan Maçon, the Stéphanois side.
Claude Puel harangues the supporters
The Cauldron, in fact, should be copiously filled for a pretty poster, which is moreover a Saturday evening, in prime time. Despite the latest prefectural decisions, including the wearing of a mask made mandatory inside the enclosure in addition to the health pass, Claude Puel hopes the presence of many supporters.
“Some did not come against Lorient. As we can see now, we must take advantage of the opportunities to fill the stadium, to have discussions with the fans. We don’t know the future. Will the full gauge continue? The virus is still circulating, the pandemic is not over. I’m just saying, there is no hesitation, the gauge is full, so let’s take advantage!“
Answer this Saturday evening. The kick off of ASSE / Lille this Saturday August 21 will be given at 9 p.m..
