If AS Saint-Étienne lost at the end of the 17e day of Ligue 1 against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday at the Parc des Princes (1-2), the Greens amazed observers.
Eirik Horneland already knows the bitter taste of defeat in Ligue 1. After only two matches on the ASSE bench, the new coach of the Greens bit the dust last night, against PSG (1-2). A double from Ousmane Dembélé in the first period punished the ASSE players, who were devilishly strong at the start. Daniel Riolo was amazed by the start of the match of the Greens, in no case coming as expiatory victims at the Parc des Princes.
“The Greens managed to annoy PSG on sequences”
“This team was struggling and we are talking about a coach who transformed this team,” he said at the microphone of RMC Sport. ASSE's first quarter of an hour was of an excellent level with more play in the PSG area than the other way around and, in ten minutes, Paris ended the match leading 2-0. This shows that this coach has brought something to the activity of the players, who are nevertheless a little technically limited apart from a handful. These same players who managed to annoy PSG on many sequences in the game, this is very encouraging for Saint-Étienne. »
Ménès sees a problem in PSG's attack
Pierre Ménès was also impressed by the level of play of ASSE and the way of attacking PSG head-on, something that few teams dare to do, particularly at the Parc des Princes. “The start of the match for the Greens was amazing and here is a team which opened the game and which tried to do something without putting a poor bus in front of its 16 meters,” he analyzed on his YouTube channel. Obviously, the quality of the Parisians made the difference with a double from Dembélé. The problem is that despite total domination, Paris has not scored any more goals and this is not the first time that this has happened. Ramos notably wandered like a lost soul and this is a problem for PSG, not necessarily in Ligue 1 but rather in the Champions League. »
