This Saturday evening, ASSE will receive the red lantern for the 17th day of Ligue 2. The Greens must return to success after a defeat at Dunkirk. The Stéphanois can put pressure on the leader, Troyes, who will play on Monday. Before this match against Bastia, Eirik Horneland spoke to the media. Excerpts
Eirik Horneland (Asse coach): “Today he is in a position in which there is a lot of competition. He handles this competition with great professionalism. He works really hard in training. He fights for his chance and today he must exploit the chance given to him to play. He must be ready to deliver his best game.
No favorite at ASSE
Eirik Horneland (Asse coach): “PFor a coach, it’s a chance to have this kind of player at his disposal. He is extremely professional. He’s the kind of player you want to see succeed because he really does everything to maximize his chances.
I think he will have a great career.
I don’t really have any favorite players. They are all my favorite players. When you are in my role, you have to work with different personalities, attitudes and approaches to the value of work. It’s always something very interesting to know each of these players. And to help them reveal their full potential based on their state of mind and to see what we can learn from it. All my players interest me as much as each other and Ben is part of this squad.”
Horneland compte sur Old
Eirik Horneland (Asse coach): “JI would like him to remain a player with such professionalism, which is important for the club, for the locker room. His attitudes, his work ethic, his values are important to the group. I also know that he would like to have a little more playing time. He will start as a starter against Bastia on Saturday. He must give his best. Furthermore, I feel that he is attached to this club, he loves this city, he wants to stay and play for this team. He obviously has all the qualities to play for AS Saint-Etienne.”
