Lucas Stassin spoke in an interview with Belgian media The evening. The Greens striker is currently with the Belgian Espoirs selection. They are playing for their place in the Euro during this break. Excerpts.
Lucas Stassin (ASSE striker): “It was a bit of a strange transfer window due to the Euro in particular. I resumed the season with Westerlo and everything was going very well. I was also ready to do one more season in the Belgian championship, especially since my last season had been tarnished by an injury. Then there was interest from several clubs, both in Belgium and abroad. But it was Saint-Étienne who convinced me by presenting me with a clear, very precise project. The club showed me that it had studied me well, and not just in one match. Finally, Saint-Étienne is still a legendary club in France, with a great history and very warm supporters.”
Stassin is happy at ASSE
Lucas Stassin (ASSE striker):“JI'm happy to have playing time and that's also one of the reasons why I chose Saint-Étienne. I knew I was going to be part of the project and that this opportunity was going to help me develop as a player. For the moment, things are going relatively well. I play, I have statistics (3 assists), but no goal yet. Obviously, I'm waiting for the first because scoring always has a special flavor. I already think I have progressed. But I also had to adapt to football that goes faster than in Belgium, especially since no match is easy here.”
Maintenance as a priority
Lucas Stassin (ASSE striker): “The amount of my transfer? I don't think too much about that, I prefer to concentrate on football, my game. I am one of the biggest transfers in the history of the club, but I am young and I know that I still have to develop in terms of duels, I think I have already progressed. But I also had to adapt to football that goes faster than in Belgium, especially since no match is easy here. . My goals? First of all, by winning the continuation with Saint-Etienne Then, I hope that I will have made further progress in the game, while counting some decisive actions in terms of statistics. A goal objective? No, I am not setting a particular figure to achieve.
Mi-Lukaku, Mi-Openda ?
Lucas Stassin (ASSE striker): “Future scorer for A in Belgium? I'm focusing on my own performances, and then we'll see… In any case, Romelu Lukaku and Loïs Openda inspire me. They are two different profiles: Lukaku is more of a target man, a pure scorer , while Openda often manages to tire the defenses thanks to his incessant calls Unlike them, I don't think I see a big specific quality. On the other hand, I think that my teacher is a little between the two of them. .
