Red lantern in Ligue 1, Saint-Etienne, hung by Angers this weekend at home (2-2), is going through a major crisis.
It has been a long time since ASSE supporters looked so crestfallen. This 2021-2022 season is for the moment a hell for the green people, who are vigorously demanding the departure of Claude Puel. Accused of all the evils of Saint-Etienne, the former technician of Leicester and Southampton has been asked to resign on several occasions by the groups of Saint-Etienne supporters … to no avail. He was on the bench of ASSE against Angers, a new game without a win for the Greens, hooked by realistic Angevins Friday night at the opening of the eleventh day of Ligue 1. While times are hard, the Greens have received at the start of the week the visit of a football connoisseur, a certain Emmanuel Macron.

An inveterate supporter of Olympique de Marseille, the President of the Republic was traveling to the Loire to discuss his “France 2030” project, an investment plan of 30 billion euros over five years with the aim of develop France’s industrial competitiveness and the technologies of the future in our country. On Monday, the head of state visited two industrial sites, including one in Saint-Etienne. On this occasion, the president was presented with an ASSE jersey in his name, flocked to 42, the department of the department, by the deputy La République en Marche de la Loire, namely Jean-Michel Mis. Emmanuel Macron took the opportunity to slip in a little phrase of hope for Saint-Etienne supporters in these difficult times. “It will go up, there are ups and downs” slipped the President of the Republic, certain that ASSE will not remain stuck in this red zone all season. This is all that the Stéphanois, frustrated at the start of the season, are hoping for with all their might.
