As we approach the shock of the 21st day of Ligue 1, theASSE prepares with an acute awareness of the importance of this home trip against the Stade de Reims. For the men of Paulo Fonseca, victory is imperative to maintain themselves in the struggle for maintenance.

Asse player Dennis Appiah referred to his comments on recent matches. He mentioned that he had followed closely the match between Lazio and Bodo Glimt, as well as the match between Manchester United and Lyon, recognizing the intensity and strong emotions they generated. He stresses the importance of the mental and emotional aspect in this kind of confrontation.

Appiah anticipates an exceptional match against the Stade de Reims, which he describes as a “derby” with a “chaudron” atmosphere and strong hostility. He expects a great Lyon in front of him, highlighting the presence of key players like Fofana and Cherki, who can make a difference.

The ASSE player recognizes the quality of the players in Ligue 1, which he considers to be “respondents” able to put his team in trouble. He is aware that the ASSE will also have to be offensive, thanks in particular to its attackers. He insists on the need to stay focused until the last second, because, as he points out, “games are never over until the referee whistles”. He recalls that the team has already demonstrated its ability to reverse the course of the games, even if it is led, and that it will have to show resilience to an ambitious opponent.
