Even red lantern, the Greens are counting on their fighting spirit for the trip to Brest this Wednesday, December 1, after their trying meeting against PSG. They were not unworthy of the leader Paris. From now on, against Bretons 12th in the standings, who remain on 4 victories in a row, the Stéphanois will have to hold out. They only had three days to recover from their loss to the Parisians.
We show a lot of character in adversity. Even if we gave a lot physically, we will continue and we will have a competitive team in Brest. Claude Puel
An asset for ASSE, its locker room: it has many young players, but also executives. There is obviously Wahbi Kazhri, but also Riyad Boudebouz. At 31, the midfielder is a safe bet for Claude Puel, a good soldier, and a big brother for his teammates. “I know the team is in trouble, and I’m trying to do my best not to hurt my team.”
ASSE is still trying to find its rhythm.
The defeat against Paris breaks the momentum of the two victories against Clermont and Troyes. However, the attitude remains positive for Claude Puel. “We show a lot of character in adversity. Even if we gave a lot physically, we will continue and we will have a competitive team in Brest”
Just remove the handbrake. Franck Honorat
Franck Honorat was yesterday the guest of 100% Verts. The Brest stadium striker spent a season in Saint-Etienne, in 2019-2020. He knows it well, regaining confidence for a Ligue 1 team, it doesn’t take much. “All it takes is a game where the team is running well, the players feel good, the players take the handbrake off, play their football so they can start again.”
ASSE will however have to do without Romain Hamouma still injured, and without three suspended: Etienne Green, Timothée Kolodziejczak and Zaydou Youssouf. Yvann Maçon is still uncertain.
