AS Saint-Etienne : “A buyer for Christmas would be a nice gift” | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: the complete list of the Greens

“Before the break, ASSE went for an expected victory against Clermont (3-2). It was the victory of combativeness by going up an unfavorable score of 0-2 to finally win. There was an urgency of points and the Greens ripped off this success with the guts. The players did what the supporters ask them to do, fighting. Even when you come to lose in Sainté, you have to wet the jersey, never give up. It’s a constant over the last three games. I hope that the supporters will have noticed and that they will be behind the team against Troyes and in the following matches. We must stay on this dynamic.

For the moment, the Saint-Etienne of Claude Puel is a team with reactions. She has the bad luck of the last one. She fights every match against opposing elements. When this team will lead in the score, it will hurt. I am convinced of it. I find that ASSE still plays well on the ball with very good players, especially in front. While we no longer trusted him, we see Ryad Boudebouz again. We realize that we were wrong about the Algerian. He is now one of the best with Wahbi Khazri. Relaunching guys like that can only pull the group up.

“By condemning Puel, the supporters are a little too harsh”

For me, by condemning Claude Puel, the supporters are a little too harsh. It is Monday morning, I have just taken my boys to school and we see everywhere, even if electric car charging stations, “Puel clears”. I find it small. Today, we come to bang on a coach who has no means and who does with what he has without ever complaining or clearing himself. I also find that he does it quite well. Certainly, it did not smile at the start of the season but the locker room does not let go: we have seen it against Lyon, Angers or Metz. We are in three games without defeat. Certainly, there is only one victory in these three games, but we feel a group mobilized. If there is one who can get us out of this m …, it is he. We must support it. I do not think it is the vast majority of supporters who are demanding his departure.

Sunday, ASSE faces Troyes. Laurent Batlles’ Troyes that many supporters would like to see in its place on the bench. Because he was a good player at ASSE, because he had done a good job as a young technician in training. For me, it is first and foremost a match against a direct competitor for maintenance. ESTAC has made some good recruits. There is Adil Rami who was world champion three years ago. There is also Jessy Moulin who, I hope, will come off the bench for this match. At the Stade de l’Aube, we’ll have to fight but I think Saint-Etienne has the means. Troyes remains on a defeat to Lens (0-4) which may have put him a blow. It will be necessary to take advantage of it. It’s up to us to look for points there to get back into this race for maintenance which, fortunately, is not moving very quickly.

” The sale ? I don’t think it disturbs the locker room “

This week, the ASSE sale process enters a decisive phase with a decision expected for November 23. Now I don’t think that disturbs the locker room. The sale mainly concerns Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo. I think that at the level of the players we are more focused on the rescue of the club on a daily basis, on Troyes, on the reception of PSG just after … If the Greens escape, we will be entitled to a good buyer anyway. This will not be the case in Ligue 2. Today, things can go quickly. It could even happen before Christmas. A buyer for Christmas would be a nice gift. Afterwards, to be honest, I didn’t really follow the news of the buyout. We are talking about the Roussier – Bodmer file in the pole. Even if it is complicated at times, you have to trust the leaders to select the best project. If I am at least sure of one thing, it is that Roland Romeyer and Jean-François Soucasse will not leave the club adrift when they leave. “

The ASSE column by Adrien Ponsard

In Goal! Saint-Etienne, Adrien Ponsard mentioned the issue of the sale of ASSE even if, for him, the priority goes to the sportsman and the very important shock of Sunday in Troyes. The former Green still believes in maintaining Sainté.
