ASSE: Larsonneur does not have a traitor behind his back

Starting goalkeeper for AS Saint-Etienne, Gautier Larsonneur knows that the Greens' current ranking in Ligue 1 could earn him stiffer competition. But he will not be betrayed.

Installed in the Saint-Etienne goals since the start of 2023, Gautier Larsonneur has largely contributed to the return to Ligue 1, the Greens goalkeeper showing himself to be intractable when everything was decided last season. However, just like his team, the Saint-Etienne goalkeeper is in tough times this year, no longer managing to avoid monumental slaps at ASSE away from Geoffroy-Guichard. However, and while waiting to know what Eirik Horneland will decide both in terms of hierarchy, but also concerning the possible arrival of reinforcement in the transfer window, Gautier Larsonneur knows that his replacement, Brice Maubleu will not do him a dirty trick to steal his place. Aligned last Sunday against OM in the Coupe de France, Maubleu spoke very clearly about his situation at AS Saint-Etienne.

No wild competition at AS Saint-Etienne

Arriving at ASSE during the last summer transfer window, the 35-year-old goalkeeper recalled that he had been recruited to be number 2 behind Gautier Larsonneur, that's all. “ On my role as number 2? Yes, that was clear. It's been over twelve years since I've been on the bench. It was clear, it was a decision I made when I came here. I work all week to perform well, to make Gautier the best possible and to give advice to the young people. I also try to help the attackers progress by making it as hard as possible to score goals in training. », Confided Brice Maubleu, in comments relayed by the specialized site EVCT. Enough to leave Gautier Larsonneur calm, unless the Saint-Etienne leaders decide to bring in a new goalkeeper during the winter transfer window.
