Back in Ligue 1 this season, theASSE fight to stay in the elite. Faced with its direct competitors in this second half of the championship, the Greens are considered favorites by Damien Perquis. Let's discover his arguments.
ASSE engaged in a tight fight for the title in Ligue 1
Due to its very disappointing start to the season, ASSE can no longer claim the title of champion and is out of the race for European places. With already seven defeats in twelve days of the championship, Olivier Dall'Oglio and his team are now focusing on a much more realistic objective: remaining in Ligue 1.
AS Saint-Etienne is currently stuck in a fierce fight to maintain its position, alongside several teams in difficulty, such as Montpellier HSC (red lantern) and Angers SCO (penultimate). The race to maintain promises to be very tight and could be played out until the last day of the championship.
ASSE can count on its supporters to maintain itself according to Damien Perquis
According to Damien Perquis, former ASSE defender (2005-2007), Saint-Etienne supporters could play a determining role in maintaining their team. “ AS Saint-Étienne has, with its Geoffroy-Guichard stadium and its supporters, something extra compared to the other teams fighting for survival.he declared in After Foot on RMC Sport.
For the sports columnist, Geoffroy-Guichard's audience constitutes a “important asset” and a “decisive soul supplement” for the teamOlivier Dall'Oglio. Indeed, the Greens have won 4 of their 6 home matches this season, showing the importance of the support of their supporters.
