After the draw brought back from Auxerre (1-1) yesterday, the defender of ASSE Léo Petrot explained that he would like his team to be more in action than in the reaction.
Friday evening, at the opening of the 19th day of Ligue 1, AS Saint-Etienne achieved a small feat. She has indeed won her second point of the season outside. So far, in nine games far from the cauldron, she had only won one draw in Nantes (1-1). In the first three of the season, she had even conceded 13 goals. The arrival of Eirik Horneland has done good to the Greens, more rigorous in defense, more concentrated. But Léo Petrot is waiting for more now.
At the microphone of Evect, the ASSE defender welcomed that his team is in the reaction, with this ability to equalize, but that he would now like her to be more in action.

“It was a difficult match that could switch to one side as on the other. The draw is logical. We encountered an Auxerroise defense which was in place, they closed the spaces well, it was difficult for us to combine and be able to arrive at the strike or to create opportunities. We knew that they were good on the wrongs, that's what happened on their goal. We know that the teams analyze us, it is more complicated now, we still take one point outside, this is only the second this season. We continue to run the counter in 2025, it was not a very big match from us but we work. We manage to react when we are led but it would be good to open the scoring and preserve this advance. We know that we score and we collect fewer goals. »»
-It will still be complicated for the Greens on the next day, since they will be traveling to Lille…
