Asse prepares for its fourth and penultimate friendly match before the season’s recovery, a crucial test against the Paris FC that will be broadcast live on the club’s YouTube channel. The training course in Aix-les-Bains was interrupted prematurely due to lawn quality problems, considered dangerous to the health of the players. Despite this setback, the club maintained the friendly meeting, which represents a major challenge against an ambitious Ligue 1 team. This meeting will allow coach Eirik Horneland to assess the team’s tactical progress and adjust the strength for the competition to resume.
In parallel with this preparation, the ASSE is intensifying its search for a right side, a position it wishes to strengthen. Several tracks are currently being explored, including Paul Joly of AJ Auxerre, Max Johnston of Sturm Graz and UÄŸur Kaan Yıldız of Göztepe SK. Joly’s arrival faced high financial demands from Auxerre, while Johnston, though versatile and talented, represented a significant investment due to his salary and the length of his contract. Yıldız, more affordable and young, could be an interesting alternative if the other two cases do not succeed.
The ASSE seeks to reconcile the arrival of new players with the development of internal talents, providing more play time for some young players early in the season. The club hopes to quickly find a solution to strengthen its right corridor, while maintaining a rigorous financial discipline. The free broadcast of the friendly match against Paris FC on ASSE’s official YouTube channel is excellent news for fans, allowing them to follow the evolution of the team and get an idea of the progress made before the competition resumed.
