With only four Ligue 1 games remaining this season, AS Saint-Étienne and its rivals are on the line to ensure their place in the French football elite. The Greens have only one objective in mind: to maintain their place in the division. A goal that the whole group shares with determination.

The new coach Eirik Horneland has clearly defined his eleven type for this crucial end of season, on which he counts to achieve this goal. The ASSE surprised and seduced during the derby against Olympique Lyonnais, setting up an enterprising game that allowed them to win this highly anticipated match.

However, Horneland had to deal with Benjamin Bouchouri’s injury and decided to rely on Florian Tardieu and Aïmen Moueffek, two key players in the ASSE uphill in Ligue 1 last season. Maximu Bernauer was also highlighted in this game, demonstrating his leadership qualities and his ability to re-launch the game from the defense.

Horneland’s translator established himself as an essential element in the Stéphanois group, while to general surprise, Ibrahim Sissoko returned to the lawn during the derby. The Malian striker had only played 7 minutes since his long suspension in the Coupe de France and was no longer on the team since he entered the game against Le Havre.

His return to the band left a doubt about his place in Horneland’s plans for the end of the season, especially since his qualities did not exactly match the Norwegian tactician’s game project. However, Horneland intends to use all the weapons at its disposal to achieve its ultimate goal: to maintain the ASSE in League 1.
