Nothing is going well for AS Saint-Étienne!

4 wins, 1 draw and already 10 defeats. Back in the elite of French , Saint-Étienne still can't do it. If the victory against the red lantern (1-0) at the end of last November had dispelled some doubts, the Greens have since suffered three new setbacks: a 5-0 slap in the face in (recalling the humiliation 8 -0 experienced against OGC ), a 2-0 without any dispute against OM and a stunning 2-1 against Football Club this Friday at the opening of the 15th day of Ligue 1. A new disappointment placing ASSE in a worrying 16th place before the HAC and MHSC matches. At the Stadium, Olivier Dall'Oglio's troops had ideally started their evening.

Purchased for 10 million euros last summer, Lucas Stassin opened his goal counter to put his team in front. Yes, but unfortunately, the first achievement of the Belgian striker in his new colors was not enough. Still too fragile defensively, the Saint-Etienne club finally collapsed after returning from the locker room. While Shavy Babicka equalized (55th), Zakaria Aboukhlal gave the Violets victory in the final moments. Plunged back into doubt and unable to extricate themselves from this infernal spiral, the Greens – with only one small point taken in eight matches away from their bases – logically suffered the blow after the meeting.

Olivier Dall'Oglio does not blame his players

« The locker room is quite dejected. We thought we could achieve something, I don't have much to say to the players, I have seen positive things, but we can't be satisfied with that. We can still work on coordination. I think a draw would have been fairer, the winds are contrary at the moment, I'm not going to talk about the offside refereeing. I regret the first goal taken, it's a lack of experience », admitted Olivier Dall'Oglio at the microphone of DAZN. However, the Greens coach did not completely give up, also preferring to retain the reasons for hope.

« The winds will be different at some point. We knew we would have a difficult season. She is. There's no surprise about that. You must not be discouraged. We are able to bounce back. We have no choice, we have to move forward, we have to progress. I don't blame the players. They are doing their best right now. We are very frustrated. We thought we had something, at least one point. Right now it's difficult. » Optimistic, Olivier Dall'Oglio will now have to find the right words to change the situation. A mission which will begin next Sunday during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de where Saint-Étienne will host OM before going on vacation and resting their heads…
