Beaten at home by Reims (1-2) this Saturday and 19th in Ligue 1 four points from 17th place, AS Saint-Etienne can at best finish as a barrage after the last day which will be played in a week. A difficult situation to digest for the Stéphane coach Pascal Dupraz.
“I have been in charge of this team since December 15. I honestly did not expect this disappointment, admitted the ASSE coach at the microphone of Canal +. I knew there was the risk but I I didn’t expect it. I am a human being, I have the right to be touched, but I know that I will get up. The objective is to accompany the players because they are the ones who must save AS Saint-Etienne. They have the means, we are capable of scoring goals. But we have to solve our defensive problems. We have a week.”
Traveling to Nantes next Saturday, the Greens will have to do better than Metz, who will go to Paris, to play the play-offs.
