Zapping Goal! soccer club AS Saint-Etienne: The question of the week
One does not prevent the other. And if at 26, Arthur Rinderknech is already a success in the world of the little yellow ball, the round ball retains all his attention. The current French number three in the ATP ranking has two heart teams: ASSE and Stade Rennais. What he explained to So Foot.
Extract: “My father gave me the thing for Saint-Étienne from a very young age. Nothing to do with the city where I set foot two or three times to go see a match. My grandfather was a big fan at the time of the epic of the Greens, he took my father to the Cauldron. My second club has always been Stade Rennes. My first coach at the COV was a big fan of Rennes, it was at the Frei’s time, Utaka, they had a very good team. It’s not yet 50/50, but if Saint-Étienne goes down to Ligue 2(…)
In December, I wanted Rennes to smash the Greens so that Claude Puel would go. I have nothing against him, but his time had come, he had to leave. I gladly hoped for a victory for Rennes, which was not very far from places in the Champions League and for Sainté to change coach. This is exactly what happened, Rennes took five. Well, I still have a little more pronounced penchant for Saint-Étienne, but we’ll see how this season ends.”
to summarize
Third French player in the ATP ranking, tennis player Arthur Rinderknech is a football enthusiast. And if he still hesitates between his two favorite clubs, ASSE and Stade Rennais, he was very happy with the departure of Claude Puel.
