AS Saint-Etienne : Stéphan is afraid of strong links but has detected a big flaw in ASSE | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: Laurent Hess’s edit on Mathieu Debuchy

Ryad Boudebouz is not the only ASSE player to worry Julien Stéphan before tomorrow’s shock at La Meinau (3pm).

“When we have in the offensive field the choice between Bouanga, Nordin, Hamouma, Khazri, Boudebouz, Aouchiche, that makes a lot of talented players! It is a team that has quality, we have all seen their matches, he said at a press conference. There is everything. There is speed, scorers, passers. They have players to be able to perform well. This is not a trick game. It would be a trap if we did not look at the value of this workforce, but there is a mismatch between the quality of this team and its current ranking. When we do virtual rankings at the start of the season, we may put Saint-Étienne higher than Strasbourg. That says everything.

Aware of the qualities of the Greens in the offensive field, the coach of the RCSA is more confident in the defensive sector, where they chain the blunders. “There are a lot of very good players in the offensive field. When we watch and analyze their matches, we realize that over all the matches, the results could have been reversed with more success, he added. In any case, they have a lot of chances per game, a lot, whether on placed attack but also on transition. They project themselves very well, they have speed. We will have to work well as a team, be strong defensively, use the ball well and also have the ability to endanger them, in difficulty, because they also took goals at the start of the season. We must be able to exploit that. “

to summarize

Julien Stéphan, the coach of RC Strasbourg is particularly worried about ASSE before the match of the 10th day of Ligue 1 on Sunday at La Meinau (3pm). In the defensive field, the Greens seem a bit less solid.
