Football – ASSE
While Stéphane Ruffier was fired from ASSE at the start of the year, Jérôme Alonzo hopes that the former Greens goalkeeper will soon emerge from the silence to deliver his truths following his conflict with Claude Puel.
After almost a year of conflict and sidelining, Stephane Ruffier eventually accepted a breach of his contract with theASSE. A situation on which Claude Puel was pronounced recently. ” I stick to managing a group and compared to a player who did not accept to be substituted for a game. And it took on proportions it should never have taken. I have no further comments to make. The decision has been made. In a club, sporting aspects must be respected by everyone. It is a sporting discipline. Did Romeyer want to reinstate him at the start of the season? Decisions were made by a steering committee », He confided in a press conference. But now Jerome Alonzo wait until Stephane Ruffier gives his version of the facts.
Alonzo asks Ruffier to break the silence
” We’re not in the locker room, we don’t have all the ins and outs. But if Stéphane Ruffier was a bad guy, if 15 people told me he was a bad guy, I would have known for 20 years. In the industry, when there are bad guys, we know them. Stéphane is not one of them, and I have nothing to sell, he is not a friend. This story bothers me a lot because he is a quality goalkeeper who still had three, 4 or 5 great seasons to offer at a good club in L1. Sportingly, I do not think Saint-Etienne has found it. It’s nebulous. And he was a player who brought you back to the forefront almost on his own. It was still 10, 12 or 13 points per season. Claude Puel defends his steak by saying: “I fulfilled my role as manager by removing from the group a player who was doing harm.” This is not his type, but I can’t wait for Stéphane to tell us his truth one day. », Launches the former porter of the PSG and theASSE on the set of Estelle’s team.
