AS Saint-Etienne : the Ultras will not have the right to make mistakes against Montpellier | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! soccer club ASSE: the Greens’ tribute to Loïc Perrin

It is an understatement to say that the match between Saint-Etienne and Montpellier is at risk in the stands. The ultras of the two camps do not appreciate each other very much, it is a fact, but it is above all the situation of the Greens which puts their own supporters in firecracker. Between a sale that is not advancing, absent presidents and a calamitous sporting situation (last place in L1, humiliation in the Cup against an N2 …), the possibility that there will be new overflows is great. But that would be very bad…

Maracineanu does not tolerate insulting chants

Indeed, the Minister Delegate for Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, will be in the stands of Geoffroy-Guichard for the match against the MHSC, which will start at 5 p.m. She even warned to hold a press conference at halftime. So, if overflows like those that occurred against Angers (2-2) on October 22 with throwing smoke bombs on the ground were to be repeated, that could put ASSE in an inextricable situation.

Because we remember that in 2019, Maracineanu was surprised by an insulting song from PSG supporters against OM. She had asked for sanctions then, seeing that these did not come, a change in morals among football fans (which did not come either). The challenge of the ultras from Saint-Etienne, which will not fail to occur, six days after the humiliation against Bergerac (0-1) in the Cup, will have to be done without a show of force…

Maracineanu will attend ASSE-Montpellier

The Minister Delegate for Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, will be in Geoffroy-Guichard on Saturday afternoon to attend the meeting between ASSE and Montpellier. Suffice to say that the behavior of ultras will be closely monitored.
