AS Saint-Etienne : for their maintenance mission, the Greens must play it like Jean-Claude Dusse! | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! soccer club ASSE: the 10 biggest sales in history

“The karma of going down… This week like all the weeks before and after, we’re all going to do the same thing.” We are going to grumble against the Mercato, against our last place, against the presidents who deserve it, in short, we are going to be in a bad mood and deal with what, for those who know nothing about it, is only football but which weighs us down seriously, like a tragedy.

Yes, we love ASSE and everything that affects it affects us as if it were a member of our family suffering from a chronic or even incurable disease. But I want, as others have done before me, to stop on the last game of the Greens against Lens (1-2). What happened is unfair, many have said so. We played very well in the first half, I mean compared to our available squad and our usual level, we resisted the best in the second half and Lens had 100% success. I know I’m not original in writing this but I especially want to draw my conclusions.

“We also have grounds for hope”

We suffer the karma of descent and we also have reasons for hope. The karma of descent. This concept is easy to grasp. Certainly our attackers, when we line up, are hardly brilliant but even if we have a chance to perform, the ball still has to escape us, otherwise it’s not funny. I am thinking of one of Gourna’s two actions. I’m really sorry that so many supporters fell on this poor kid. When he receives his pass, the ball bounces which prevents Gourna, who is not a striker who is used to hitting, from mastering the leather well. It is a reality that, when one is last, is likely to happen countless times.

In defense, it’s not much better. Certainly we made a mistake on the corner of the equalizer but how likely do you assess the fact that Fofana reaches the ventilator for the second time in such a short time? This bad luck, it characterizes a club that will go down and we want to attack all the pantheons to ask them to let go of the bunch of our favorite team. If even when we raise our level and we get shabby, we have to suffer all the vicissitudes of bad luck, we might as well hang up our crampons right away.

“Forget you have no chance, go for it!” You never know, on a misunderstanding, it might work.”

A reason for hope. There, I propose to make a beautiful arm of honor to the pantheon mentioned above. There are times in life when you can never count on luck, you have to provoke it and make it understand that you don’t need it. I don’t know how Dupraz will approach what happened last Saturday or how the players will have digested it, but I would like to believe that the dispositions shown, added to a recruitment and the return of absentees, will be able to push all these little people renew the efforts already made.

Since we have the karma of the descent, we might as well try to play as if we didn’t give a fuck about all that and make ourselves crummy. It is not a question of looking for the beautiful technique as Puel wanted it but of putting effective mines. Finish last with 4 or 10 points behind, notwithstanding the humiliating side, it makes no difference. I prefer to think like the great philosopher Jean-Claude Dusse “Forget you have no chance, go for it!” You never know, on a misunderstanding, it can work “… Well ASSE is like Jean-Claude, she has to meter as many ingredients as those she put in last Saturday and she is not there. shelter to get out of it by force of will and abortive attempts. It doesn’t matter that a few pigeons pass by, the important thing is that we save ourselves despite our damn karma! »

to summarize

“Since we have the karma of the descent, we might as well try to play as if we didn’t give a fuck about all that anymore and put ourselves down. It’s not a question of looking for the beautiful technique as Puel wanted it but to put on effective mines. Finishing last with 4 or 10 points behind, notwithstanding the humiliating side, it makes no difference. I prefer to think like the great philosopher Jean-Claude Dusse “Forget that you have no chance, go for it! never know, on a misunderstanding, it can work”, writes Dominique Bréard.
