Without the Cauldron “feria”, Dall’Oglio warns his players

Since his arrival at AS Saint-Étienne, Olivier Dall'Oglio saw his team benefit from the unwavering support of his supporters each time, both at home and away.

However, this will not be the case this Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m. at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, for the derby between Olympique Lyonnais and AS Saint-Étienne, counting for the eleventh day of the French Ligue 1 championship. Indeed , the Rhône prefecture and the Ministry of the Interior combined their repressive forces by publishing two travel ban orders for Saint-Etienne supporters.

Olivier Dall'Oglio obviously regrets these decisions and warns his players before this unprecedented situation for him, without Greens supporters for an AS Saint-Étienne match: “We are planning a lot for this match and we are trying to correct what went wrong in our previous outings. What will change is that we will not have supporters. At home, in the Cauldron, I don't even need to talk about the contribution that it represents, it's the feria inside, it's magnificent. But even outside there is always green in the stands, we are always supported but unfortunately, for the first time, we will have to do without our supporters. This is why we will have to be even stronger.“

To gain energy from the supporters before the most important match of the year despite the ban on their travel, two meetings are planned for Olivier Dall'Oglio and his men. First this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. for the final training before the derby at L'Etrat then the next day at 11:30 a.m. for the departure of the bus to Lyon, still from L'Etrat.
