Several players from AS Saint-Étienne left their club to upgrade to a lower level. Five elements currently operate under the colours of other clubs until the end of the season: Beres Owusu (Quevilly Rouen), Darling Bladi (Bourg Péronnas), Karim Cissé (Annecy), Ayman Aiki (Bastia) and Jibril Othman (Francs Borains). Some of them had the opportunity to play this weekend. A week ago, Owusu spoke to our microphone: “As long as we don’t lose, as long as we put the same rigor in every game, it will be feasible (maintenance, ndlr). In any case we trust, we are aware of our qualities and we know that we can hurt any team. He and his teammates had the opportunity to perform well last Friday during the derby against FC Rouen. Thanks to a double of Y. Fortune, Quevilly-Rouen Métropole won the score of 2 to 1. The central defender loaned by ASSE played the entire game, often in duel with former Green Charles Abi, who managed to score a goal in the play stops despite being well-contained. In National 1, Darling Bladi and Bourg Péronnas welcomed Concarneau on Friday. The game ended in a draw and blank score of 0 to 0, and the Stéphanois side played 90 minutes. On the Belgium side, Jibril Othman came into play for about 20 minutes with Francs Borains. Unfortunately, his team leaned against Club NXT ( Bruges Reserve) on the score of 2 to 0. As for several weeks, Karim Cissé is no longer on FC Annecy’s team. A choice assumed by Laurent Guyot. However, he is not the only player lent by the ASSE to be in this situation since this weekend: Ayman Aiki was not in the Bastia group against Paris FC on Saturday.
