ASSE travels away from home this weekend for the second time in a row. Head to Antoine Kombouaré’s FC Nantes, just back from a draw against Angers.
It’s time to work for the Greens. Humiliated by an eight-goal gap against Nice, Olivier Dall’Oglio felt ashamed after the match. “The predominant feeling is shame. We are not proud of what we produced. “.
But the feelings were not the same this Thursday at the pre-match press conference. Coach Stéphanois highlighted the ability of his players to bounce back. “When we take a slap like that, we take the blow for a few days and then we leave. Undertake the latter. “To bounce back, you need aggressiveness, communication between players, respecting instructions, winning duels, following your opponent’s races.”
Several absences for ASSE
With Maçon, Monconduit, Briançon and Wadji already, we could not hope to see the infirmary more full than it already is. But at the current rate, the bad news continues to pile up within the Forez club.
Pierre Cornud should indeed miss several weeks of competition. “For Pierre Cornud, who has an ischial injury, it will take several weeks. “, mentioned Olivier Dall’Oglio at a press conference. Exited with an injury half an hour into the match against Nice, the 27-year-old full-back suffered a hamstring injury. Olivier Dall’Oglio will only be able to compose with Dennis Appiah, Léo Pétrot or Kévin Pédro. At a time when the defense of Saint-Étienne is being heavily criticized, it is the turn of the corridors to be stripped of feathers. Changes on the hinge are also expected with Adbelhamid being convincing.
The ASSE coach could, however, count on a return from Augustine Boakye. The one who resumed training ten days ago could add something to the current worst attack in Ligue 1 (one goal scored). »In terms of returns, Augustine Boakye’s week went well”says Olivier Dall’Oglio. “He was supposed to be in the group last week but felt some last-minute discomfort. »
