They lack quality , with the exception of one player who stands out from the crowd, Davitashvili Given the weakness of the level in Ligue 1, if I were from Saint-Etienne, I would even hope to be able to avoid relegation this season. superiority as soon as they accelerated, even if it only lasted a moment.”
