AS Saint-Etienne still occupies the last place in the Ligue 1 standings despite the point torn in the derby against Lyon. But hope returned to Geoffroy-Guichard’s side.
Within minutes, ASSE would have experienced a dirty international break, as without Wabhi Khazri’s equalizing penalty in added time the Greens would have lost the derby to OL and suffered a huge morale blow. But this point taken against the regional rival caused enormous joy in the Cauldron and the reactions after the meeting proved that this result was not trivial, even if it leaves AS Saint-Etienne in last place in the Ranking de Ligue 1. Before Sunday’s trip to Strasbourg, the Greens are in good spirits and want to quickly confirm that the motivation seen against Olympique Lyonnais is not a flash in the pan without a future. In the columns of Progress, a legend from ASSE also believes that the match against OL will change the dynamics of Saint-Etienne and allow the Forez club to experience great disappointment at the end of the season.
ASSE is relaunched thanks to Lyon, Piazza bets on it
Osvaldo Piazza, that’s him, is almost thanking Jean-Michel Aulas’s club for relaunching AS Saint-Etienne. ” For me, the derby will be a click. I saw a reaction. As if the team had found each other. The players not only obtained a good result, but they also developed a good game. After a match like this, they must realize that they have potential (…) Two years ago when you win the derby, we were not superior to the Lyonnais, but we won that way. This victory sparked something. These are qualities that are sufficient to take off. I saw them ten days ago against Lyon, that’s why I think it will be the case again this time “, Said the former Argentina player of the great years of ASSE. Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo will be able to send a case of champagne to their Lyon counterpart if things turn out for the formation of Claude Puel.
