With two goals on his counter in Ligue 1, but dating from mid-September, Denis Bouanga is going through a complicated period. ASSE does not want to put undue pressure on him, however.
Last season, Denis Bouanga put stars in the eyes of AS Saint-Etienne supporters, the 25-year-old striker having finished with 10 goals in a much shortened Ligue 1 season. But since the start of the championship, things have been more complicated for Denis Bouanga, who even took a little bit of rule on his fingers after ASSE’s loss to Nice when he was a substitute at the kickoff. ” I expect more from Denis, even though he is an important player Claude Puel had launched about his attacker. However, before the reception of Montpellier on Sunday at Geoffroy-Guichard, the coach of the Greens wanted to support Denis Bouanga while the latter is in the hard, even if he still found the net. twice this season, including once from the penalty spot. But that goes back to September.
For Claude Puel, his attacker just needs to settle in for the long haul and not focus on this bad patch. ” I don’t want to look at individual cases. You can be demanding on a player who has qualities and a lot of potential. But we have to comfort the players, be behind them and improve what they can do that is positive, support them in their learning. Denis Bouanga even if he is older than the others, must learn to understand the highest level and to gain regularity “AS Saint-Etienne coach said ahead of an already important ASSE-Montpellier. Denis Bouanga should therefore not take the lead, the Greens are counting on him and he can count on the confidence of Saint-Etienne.
