For Jessy Moulin, there is no need to be “a pure Stéphanois” to understand the importance of the derby – Ligue 1 – J11 – Lyon-Saint-Étienne

A bad memory for Lyon supporters.

For the first time since January 2022, Lyonnais and Stéphanois will compete for regional supremacy in the derbySunday on the lawn of Groupama Stadium. If the pure products of the training center are still present in number on the Lyon side in the people of Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette, Rayan Cherki and company, they will be rarer on the Stéphanois side. Enough to create a lack of extra soul in the green ranks? Not necessarily for the former Loire goalkeeper Jessy Moulin who, for example, remembers Robert Berić's particular appetite for this type of match.

One night hero

“Robert Berić loved it! He was one of the derby players. He was injured during his first derby against Lyon in a very tense situation (an “attempted” tackle by Jordan Ferri). He was waiting for this match as if he were a purebred Stéphanois! You could feel it! He had things to fix in the derby and he achieved it in 2019 by scoring the winning goal »said the retiree in an interview with the Ligue 1 website.

Since then, poor Robert has been missing.
