In the post-match press conference, Jean-Louis Gasset, very superstitious, clearly saw his players confronting the Greens with their new victorious red tunics: “I like this jersey because it makes me look younger (smile). We will definitely bring it to Saint-Étienne. »
If the dress does not make the monk, we know the weight of superstitions in football and particularly in Montpellier Hérault where, by rubbing shoulders with Louis Nicollin, Jean-Louis Gasset must have seen all the colors. We will remember that the MHSC won in red in Forez during the trip counting for the 2018/2019 season. JLG, already accompanied by Ghislain Printant, was then officiating on the Saint-Etienne bench. While a success would have guaranteed them qualification for the European Cup, Michel Der Zakarian's Pailladins, thanks to a goal from Gaëtan Laborde, came to spoil the party. A good memory.
The last outing in the Cauldron, before their relegation, was in… white. Olivier Dall'Oglio was then in charge of ASSE. The arguments are sufficient not to wonder any longer, in red in Forez to prolong the revival glimpsed against Brest.
