D-2 before the derby between Lyon and AS Saint-Étienne. It's the actors' turn to speak. The Greens still haven't won in Lyon since 2014. So, what is the Stéphanois' plan? Wet the jersey, show discipline, with a touch of madness.
“From the outside, I remember the smoke bombs as the bus leaves, the enthusiasm, the green fervor. From the inside, it must be something else.“Olivier Dall'Oglio is right, this derby is not like other matches. The Saint-Etienne coach will experience his first shock against Lyon on Sunday at 8:45 p.m.
“Have pride in the jersey”
A derby is won. But it's been 10 years since ASSE won in Lyon. And this year, the Greens are clearly not favorites. “Even if they are better than us, we have to have pride in the jersey, to go after ourselves“, indicates the Stéphanois coach, evoking the ingredients to put in for this match. Léo Pétrot has already experienced the derby, but with the club's reserve. The defender tempers: “We are going to have a game plan, not to do anything, because we know that we are going to face a very good team. But it will take this madness, these values, and wet the jersey.“
Keeping the good things from Strasbourg
“Discipline, commitment, entrants“, this was the good recipe against Strasbourg at Geoffroy-Guichard last Saturday, according to Olivier Dall'Oglio. After a tactical and not very flamboyant first half, the setup paid off in the second. The Greens won 2 -0. The Loire tactician is also starting to notice notable improvements: “The idea of winning duels is important, it's starting to sink in. There are also fewer and fewer errors.”
