Espanyol Barcelona coach Manolo Gonzalez was at a press conference this Friday. And said more about the future of Irvin Cardona, expected for several days at ASSE.
The file, it is obvious, drags on. And continues to occupy a major place during the winter transfer window in Saint-Etienne. We know that Irvin Cardona was not in the last match of his club, Espanyol de Barcelona, last weekend, because he was awaiting departure. But the one who brought joy to ASSE six months during last season is still not back in Forez. And the Ligue 1 matches pass without Erik Horneland, the Saint-Etienne technician, being able to count on him. As we know, the negotiation on the Cardona file concerns three clubs: Espanyol Barcelona, to which the player is loaned, FC Augsburg, in Germany, to which the attacker belongs, and the leaders of the Greens.
At the moment T, nothing moves. As for weeks in a winter transfer window, it couldn't be calmer for ASSE supporters. But the coach of the Spanish club, Manolo Gonzalez, at a press conference only a few minutes ago, spoke on the subject Irvin Cardona. By being clear about the sequence of events. “I don’t know what his sporting future will be, he is discussing it with the sports management and with other clubs. But I will only take players committed to the team. He is not injured, but I am very clear that if I have to play in Seville, I will do it with people who play our colors to the fullest. What I want is for the team to compete to the death and I want to bring in people who know they will give their all. »
Tonight against AJ Auxerre
We will know more about Cardona when the Espanyol Barcelona squad for their trip to Seville is communicated. It should be late in the day. ASSE, for its part, travels to the AJ Auxerre field this evening to face a Burgundian team which is hardly successful at the Abbé-Deschamps stadium. Eirik Horneland and his Greens are obliged to take one or three points against the AJA, they who currently occupy the play-off place in Ligue 1.
