A week after the historic slap received in Nice (8-0), the Greens had to wash their heads and prepare a trip to Nantes which was already crucial. Before their meeting at Beaujoire, the Stéphanois need to bounce back. A look back at the ASSE week which allowed heads to be washed.

A former Green remains confident for ASSE!
Heads remain heavy three days after the humiliation experienced this Friday. ASSE is coming off a historic defeat. An 8-0 conceded which could leave its mark. Olivier Dall’Oglio and his staff will have the difficult task of finding the levers to get up after the club blow received on the head. Internally, the desire is to use this rout as an electric shock. Like the defeat against Dunkirk. Jessy Moulin spoke in Le Progrès. The former Greens goalkeeper does not want to fall into disaster and explains why Progress.
Jessy Moulin in support of Larsonneur
Jessy Moulin (ex-ASSE) on Gautier Larsonneur: “Already when you are a goalkeeper and you take one, you get angry and frustrated. So eight… It’s terrible. A score like that, we want it to stop and for our teammates to make it stop. You depend on your defense. If they don’t do the job in front of you, you’re dead. If a goalkeeper makes three big saves in a match, it means he had a good match. Gautier suffered twenty shots including twelve shots on target. It’s not Jesus! Or it happens once in a season. He made his four saves and that’s already good. »
Jessy Moulin (ex-ASSE) : “It’s good to go for a drink when things are bad as well as when things are good. The biggest danger is having a group that splits. It must not explode. But I am confident. It’s a young group that has everything to prove. I am sure that they will achieve a result in Nantes (Sunday, 5 p.m.). They remain competitors who have a duty to react. It’s up to them to show that it was just an accident. »

Sacred union before Nantes?
The Greens have just lost 8-0 in Nice. A historic defeat which will be a landmark in Ligue 1. An unworthy performance which shamed the entire Green People. The day after this rout, Etrat was able to see the anger of some through various graffiti and banners left. Supporter groups quickly asked to be received. The new management of ASSE intends to walk hand in hand with the lungs of Geoffroy-Guichard. Olivier Dall’Oglio’s group thus met several members of these groups.
Emergency meeting with ASSE supporters
For organizational reasons, the meeting was divided into two parts. The Green Angels were received this Monday evening. A large group was present. According to our feedback, the exchanges remained courteous. This was also the case this Tuesday where several members of Magic Fans were also heard. If the supporters are aware of the sporting issues and the difficulties that await ASSE this season, irreproachable behavior has been asked of Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men. The face displayed in Nice is the antithesis of Saint-Etienne values and this was reminded to the players.
Having said this, a reaction from the group is expected by the supporters who intend to no longer experience such humiliation in the future. After having long hoped for the sale of the club, the Green People are able to be patient, but will at no time deny the values they defend.
Internally, several meetings took place following the Nice rout. Whether at the club management or among Olivier Dall’Oglio’s group. The defeat in Nice is considered unacceptable. Without falling into catastrophism, we want to identify the causes of this collective failure in order to move forward. ASSE aims to maintain and remains fully in the race. The season will be complicated, but we are preparing for it in Forez. To get out of this, you will have to display other attitudes. Players have been warned. They will be expected this Sunday.

Two new injuries for ASSE
ASSE lost more than three points in Nice. Swept 8-0, the Greens took a terrible blow to the head. While the climate had become calm again since the rise to Ligue 1 and the sale of the club, this humiliation already places Olivier Dall’Oglio and his men under pressure. A pressure that they were quickly able to feel this week when listening to the Managers and supporters who came to their meetings. Saint-Etienne values must no longer be violated in the future. Reaction expected this Sunday in Nantes.
The task promises to be complex for ASSE. The Canaries have had a convincing start to the season. From the first meetings, Antoine Koumbouaré’s men gave themselves some breathing room with three positive results. A draw in Toulouse (0-0), and two victories (2-0 against Auxerre, 1-3 in Montpellier). Without being flamboyant, FC Nantes delivered against opponents within their reach. Enough to place them in a comfortable 5th place in Ligue 1. With eight points on the clock, they hope to keep their distance from the red zone that they have too often encountered in recent seasons.
The corridors of ASSE stripped of their feathers
A complicated opponent for ASSE this Sunday. Especially since the Greens will have to do without two players who have joined the infirmary. After the injuries to Anthony Briançon, Thomas Monconduit and Yvann Maçon, it is the turn of Pierre Cornud and Marwann N’Zuzi to be absent. Arriving this summer, Pierre Cornud had a complicated start in the ASSE jersey. Returning to Nice, he left holding the back of his thigh. The 27-year-old left back took exams this week. If the results remain unknown for the time being, he could miss the next upcoming deadlines.
Marwan N’Zuzi will not take advantage of this new absence to rejoin the professional group. Indeed, the young Saint-Etienne full-back was injured with the Reserve team last weekend. He had to limp off the pitch in the 57th minute. Olivier Dall’Oglio will have to deal with Dennis Appiah, Léo Pétrot and even Kévin Pédro. A slaughter that hurts for bare corridors.

La Beaujoire sold out against ASSE
Saint-Étienne is coming back from the heaviest defeat in its history since 1952. The Stéphanois conceded eight goals in 90 minutes of play, in one-sided opposition. ASSE did not show any control throughout the meeting. “The predominant feeling is shame. »expressed Olivier Dall’Oglio after the slap he received. But the party was perfect for the people of Nice. In addition to the undeniable victory, OGC Nice celebrated its 120th anniversary last Friday. Coupled with the reception of the Greens, the date necessarily attracted the public. With nearly 35,000 seats, the Allianz Rivera stadium was sold out for the ASSE reception.
Saint-Étienne will travel to Nantes for the second time in a row this weekend. Note that the Canaries are off to a good start to the season with a fifth place finish (two wins, two draws, one defeat). However, the latter have not won since August 31 against Montpellier (3-1). Antoine Kombouaré’s players will certainly want to turn the tide against a Saint-Etienne team in full swing.
A great classic of the French championship, the match will pit two juggernauts in the history of Ligue 1 against each other. A match which attracts supporters in droves to the Beaujoire enclosure. The yellow and green club announced last Tuesday the sale of no less than 30,000 seats. But it will be in a sold-out stadium that Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men will travel. At this time, no vouchers are available for sale to attend the meeting for sale.

A press conference rich in lessons
Olivier Dall’Oglio (ASSE) : “It’s good to have a long week for us, because it allowed us to have a little more time. We had planned an extra day of rest, but we canceled it, of course, because we have to face the fact that we went through this match and we have to bounce back quickly. So, the first thing is to get together, to review the match, that is to say the return from the match. Then, it is important that the players can communicate with each other and say things to each other, so there was a meeting on this subject.
Following this, we implemented actions for the field, because that is the main thing. We have to go back to simple things, the basics, to be solid and defensively, that was the watchword of the week, that’s the work that we did. You need to clean the heads very quickly, that is, don’t look at your shoes. After a while, when you take a slap like that, you take the blow for two days, and you leave with your head held high and with clear ideas. The idea is to start with simple things, to be solid and for the organization to be at the top. Let everyone know their role, and that we certainly show more determination, especially at the start of the match. When we look at the match, it was the start that was not valid in terms of duel and races. So, back to the basics: running and being strong.
