AS Saint-Etienne will travel tomorrow to the lawn of SCO Angers in a late match of the 20th day of Ligue 1. On the sidelines of the latter, Pascal Dupraz appeared at a pre-match press conference. The coach has still not had victory with the Greens in the league since his arrival (3 defeats), while the Forez club is more than ever the red lantern and is five points behind 19th FC Lorient.

The derby lost last Friday:

“It’s the first time that I’ve been really disappointed because we didn’t do what we wanted to do beyond the vagaries of the workforce. Even if we regretted a lot of absentees, we is shaken up in all areas of the game, including athletically in the first period. In the second, we existed better even if it was not enough and there is still a long way to go. Against Nantes, I had already felt the tension. We play our skin in L1 every minute of play, so we must not miss a single one!

Angers:

“It’s not a direct confrontation because they have a lot more points than us but we will have to keep the clock ticking. I hope this time will be the good one and that it will be followed by others. We will have to that everyone shows the best version of themselves, but all together. That would allow us to compete, but that, we have done rather well so far because in the end, the scores are always tight. Against Nantes, at mid -time, and against Lens, in the 70th, it was difficult to predict the final result. What I see is that we are competitive but not competitive enough, and that in all areas of the game, athletically, technically and tactically.”

The situation of the club:

“The players are aware of the danger. Time is running out, we need points. But we can’t ignore our opponents. They want to win just as much as we do. Since I arrived, there have been had three defeats for three matches. So, inevitably, it will be a feat at the end of the season if we maintain it. In fact, it’s a chance and I told the players because we can go from status from cellar to that of hero. There are still so many points to glean and matches to play. Even if the margin is reduced match after match, Saint-Etienne has every chance of remaining mathematically.” he said in comments relayed by the club.
