Pressure rises in Saint-Étienne for the derby against OL
Within 24 hours of the impact between ASSE and OL, the atmosphere is electric. The tension is palpable, exacerbated by the particular flavor of this derby. The Ligue 1 YouTube channel recently released a report of approximately 19 minutes, highlighting the importance of this poster, in particular by highlighting its Stéphanois context.
The report gathered the words of several actors involved in the club. Among them, players Louis Mouton and Léo Pérot, as well as sports director Loic Perrin.
In particular, Loic Perrin stressed the importance of commitment and determination for the ASSE. “The level is different today between Lyon and Saint-Étienne, but we have the chance in our sport, in football, we see it in the cup of France where the little one wins, it is more and more frequent. In a game, anything is possible!” he said.
The sports director also stressed the club’s main objective: “It has always been said that maintenance is the goal. If we’re up to date, we’re still competing for maintenance. Sometimes we managed to show a very nice face, a team that was able to compete with important teams in the championship. We didn’t have any consistency. I think we haven’t been rewarded on all our games and when you don’t take points… mentally, you have to be very strong. "
Asse is therefore preparing to face OL in a context of strong pressure, aware of the importance of this match to ensure its retention in Ligue 1.
