On the RMC after-football show, Kevin Diaz and Damien Perquis debriefed the match between ASSE and Strasbourg (2-0 victory for the Greens) and discussed different subjects. Transcription.
Geoffroy Guichard made ASSE win
“Yes, Dall'Oglio made the right choices. In any case, they paid off. You have a cauldron that lives up to its name. It's extraordinary! It must be extraordinary to experience, you Damien (Perquis) you I've never played in Saint-Etienne but when you play in big atmospheres, obviously, you're pushed at home and it's hard away.” explains Kevin Diaz.
“Yes, I experienced it and in fact, I wonder if the youth of Strasbourg were not impressed by this stadium at some point. In the second half, Geoffroy Guichard got into action and there, It's no longer the same story.” said Damien Perquis.
Stassin does not convince?
Damien Perquis: “There are still needs. You need him to keep the balls like Sissoko did as a fixation point, he knows that he is going to be alone in front facing the big guys in central defense in front of him. He has to create a bond with the environment and I find for the moment that he has had difficulty at this level.”
Kevin Diaz : “I know the Belgian and Dutch championships very well and it's not the same. They play against defenders who are mostly under 25 with youthful builds. You find yourself in league 1 where it's strong defensively. Learning is hard. We saw Boadu, Dallinga, it's not easy. The problem for Stassin is his face-to-face against Lille. little clicks to start a season Afterwards, we see that he is a player who has qualities and who is 19 years old. But, to play the game when you have Sissoko coming in at the end of the match, it feels good, especially. that tonight it is decisive.”
Abdelhamid on the bench, a strong choice!
Kevin Diaz : “I don't think it's that surprising. When you are an executive like you were in Reims and you arrive in a new locker room even if at the start, you have a status. Your teammates, your supporters didn't follow you like those of your previous club where you were established and where you had your marks There, he has to reprove everything. There is this famous jingle “football is an eternal beginning”, when you. Arriving at a new club like ASSE at this age, it’s not so easy.”
