Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: top 10 market values ​​of the Greens

TOPS

The supporters

For their big comeback to Geoffroy-Guichard, the Stéphanois supporters pushed the Greens throughout the two matches against Lorient (1-1) and Lille (1-1), Magic Fans in the lead. In vain…

The draw in Lens

Among the four matches played in August, the only real good result for ASSE is a draw in Lens (2-2). In a boiling hot Bollaert, the Greens led twice thanks to Khazri and Bouanga. But it still took a super Green at the end to get a point.

Etienne Green

With two big stops ahead of Fofana and Doucouré, Green was decisive in Lens (2-2). It was also a week later against Lille (1-1) by maintaining ASSE in the game before the equalization of Saidou Sow at the very end of the game. In particular by going out in the feet of Yilmaz, shortly before the goal of the Guinean.

Saïdou Sow against Lille

It is thanks to a furious header from Sow, at the start of additional time, that ASSE avoided a defeat against Lille (1-1). Before that, the Guinean defender had distinguished himself by a rescue in the first half. What to revive it after a delicate performance in Lens (2-2) and a summer preparation disrupted by the Covid.

Wahbi Khazri

Khazri was the first scorer of the season against Lorient (1-1), on a penalty that he himself had caused. And the Tunisian once again made the nets tremble during the next match, in Lens (2-2), taking advantage of a Lensoise touch to go and deceive Leca, at the very start of the game. With 2 goals, ASSE’s top scorer, for the moment, is him.

Mickaël Nadé against Lorient

The surprise of the summer at ASSE is him. Back from loan, Nadé will not accompany QRM in L2. At 22, he won his place in the rotation of Puel, after winning the confidence of Castres during the preparation matches. Holder in the first match of the season against Lorient (1-1), he was solid. This prompted the club to extend his contract to him.

Timothy Kolodziejczak

Scorer in Marseille (1-3), Kolo played the first four matches of the season as a left-back, Trauco having returned quite late from his vacation after playing in the Copa America with Peru. And the former Nice has been one of the rare satisfactions of this start of the season, not only by scoring at the Vélodrome, but by coming out of good performances, with in particular an assist for Bouanga, in Lens (2-2).

FLOPS

The draw against Lorient

Led on a goal from Le Goff, ASSE did not do better than a draw against Lorient (1-1), by equalizing on a penalty from Khazri. To start her season, she beat Les Merlus (2-0) a year ago …

The defeat in Marseille

A year after its success in Marseille (2-0), ASSE logically lost at the Vélodrome (1-3) despite an equalizer from Kolo at the end of the first half. A defeat, the first of the season after three draws, which dragged the Greens to 16th place in L1.

Charles Abi

Abi has had a complicated start to the season. In difficulty from the first match against Lorient (1-1), the young striker was replaced at half-time. Sent in reserve, he missed a penalty in a friendly match against the Bordeaux reserve …

Adil Aouchiche

Aouchiche is still slow to justify the confidence of the club, which has erected him as the flag bearer of the Puel project. Tender, harmless, he delivered a decisive pass from a corner to Kolodziejczak, in Marseille (1-3), before being replaced at half-time. His very disappointing start to the season and the arrival of Ignacio Ramirez led the club to loan him to Guingamp.

Romain Hamouma

Prolonged late, Hamouma seems to pay for his lack of preparation. His return to competition is slow.

Mahdi camara

Promoted captain following the departure of Debuchy, Camara is struggling to regain his performance from last season. He appeared inside in the first four games of the season.

Yvann neyou

Suspended against Lorient (1-1), Neyou has not had his usual influence since his return to competition. He tiptoed into his season.

Zaydou Youssouf

Holder during the first three days, Youssouf did not take advantage. The former Bordeaux had a lot of waste. He is still chasing the level that was his when he started with the Greens, before his knee surgery in winter 2020.

Lucas Gourna

Announced as the new nugget of the Greens, Gourna is one of its young people who have seen them been disturbed by the Covid. And his return to the lawns was difficult. We think in particular of his entry in Lens (2-2) and his tenure in Marseille (1-3).

to summarize

For their big comeback to Geoffroy-Guichard, the Stéphanois supporters pushed the Greens throughout the two matches against Lorient (1-1) and Lille (1-1), Magic Fans in the lead. They are part of our Tops of this first month of competition at ASSE …
