While ASSE did not win its 125th derby last weekend, the championship now gives way to the international break. From November 11 to 19, the elite players join their respective selections to play Nations League or qualifying matches for the African Cup of Nations.
Stassin, an awakening in two stages
Landed this summer from KVC Westerlo, Lucas Stassin puts on the green tunic at the very end of the transfer window for the sum of €10 million. The Forez club has never paid such a sum for a player. “I felt like the leaders really knew me.” Admits the attacker to the microphone of So Foot. Coveted by AC Milan, the 19-year-old striker preferred the Forez club. “They spoke to me concretely about what they wanted to do with me. We discussed my points of improvement, the club's project, tactics, my ability to be very effective in relation to my expected goals..
However, Lucas Stassin has still not opened his goal counter this season. Holder for three consecutive matches (Angers, Strasbourg, Lyon), the Belgian has only shot once against OL (1-0). However, broken down in the zone of truth, Lucas Stassin still proves decisive. The Stéphanois has the best rate of offensive actions in Ligue 1 according to the X “DATA´Foot” account.
The ASSE player with the A team?
The native of Belgium played two matches last month (Hungary U21, Scotland U21) with the Belgian hopefuls. Established for the second, the Stéphanois striker scored his first goals with the Belgian hopefuls in October.
Selected again for the play-off match, the Red Imp trained with the A team, according to a video broadcast this Wednesday by DAZN Belgium. He took part in the session occasionally. However, Lucas Stassin will play two matches with the Belgium Espoirs against the Czech Republic. Next November 15 (8 p.m.), then November 19 (5:30 p.m.)
