The world champion with the 1998 French team, Emmanuel Petit spoke for MadeInFoot on the key to maintaining ASSE. Also an overview of football with the Champions League, Ligue 1 and a word on the big names in the French championship.
After his football career, Emmanuel Petit reconverted into a sports consultant and commentator, regularly sharing his analyzes during major international events. He notably appears on the RMC channels, where he comments on Champions League and Premier League matches. Known for his outspokenness, he does not hesitate to express strong criticism on various football-related topics.
“For me, the salvation of Saint-Étienne with its fantastic public is at home!” (Emmanuel Petit on maintaining ASSE in league 1)
“They have just won against Reims, while the dynamic was not good just before this victory. So, they are starting the year well. Now, it is a team which concedes so many goals, which does not score many no. more, so they don’t have a lot of wins under their belt this season.
-I think that for me the salvation of Saint-Étienne with its fantastic public is at home. If you want to save your skin in any competition, you already have to become very tough to beat at home. If they manage to achieve this goal, they will have a good chance of saving themselves.”
With 16 points one match from the end of the first leg, ASSE responds to Emmanuel Petit’s comments. Indeed, of the 16 points gleaned this season, 15 of them were at home (5 victories against Lille, Auxerre, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Reims). It was only in Nantes that the Stéphanois were able to bring home a point from an away game. The opportunity to change the dynamic with the trip to the Parc des Princes this Sunday? The mission promises to be very complicated but not impossible…
