Zapping Goal! Football club RC Lens: The question of the week
“In Saint-Etienne, it’s a disaster. A catastrophic year that started with the dismissal of Stéphane Ruffier – a page that was turning in the Forez – and which ended with this relegation position at mid-season with the change of coach. After completing the 2020-21 fiscal year in 11th place, it was believed that the Greens had gone through the hardest. That the lessons of a difficult season had been understood …
Unfortunately, for economic reasons, ASSE left with an even more youthful workforce and much too short to play the middle of the table. From a reconstruction by palliation over time, we fell into the big questions. With the bad luck and the many posts found, the mind began to be damaged and we find ourselves in the situation we are in today.
“If the state of mind and the will to do well are there, the workforce is too fair”
With the exception of Wahbi Khazri, who often carried the team alone, and Etienne Green, who put out some big games, a lot of executives have failed. I am thinking in particular of Denis Bouanga who was too rarely decisive in front, of Timothée Kolodziejczak who made some beginner mistakes … Today, the team is dislocated. If the mindset and the will to do well are there, the workforce is too tight.
Arrived to replace Claude Puel who was really sacrificed to respond to popular vindictiveness, Pascal Dupraz is really facing a big job. A site in a particular context against the backdrop of a sale of the club which is slow to settle and which also plays on the morale of the locker room and behind the scenes. In this period, we also realize that ASSE cannot really count on its two presidents. One has also completely disappeared. We are really on the precipice. The only chance for ASSE today is not to be completely unhooked in the six-a-side championship which is at the bottom of the table today. To recover and start 2022 on a good footing, Saint-Etienne needs a click. At present, ASSE has a foot and a half in Ligue 2 ”.
to summarize
Supporters of the Greens since his earliest childhood, Denis Balbir is really worried about the survival of ASSE this season in Ligue 1. Far from incriminating the former coach Claude Puel, our consultant is above all fatalistic in the face of the poor quality of headcount and bad luck.
