The ASSE achieved a convincing victory against Rodez this Saturday night, winning a 4-0 score during his first home meeting of the season. The Greens demonstrated a notable superiority, taking advantage of the good integration of their new players to quickly take the ascendant. Joshua Duffuss opened the score, followed by Mahmoud Jaber, Irvin Cardona and Zuriko Davitashvili, sealing a brilliant victory. Despite this positive result, coach Eirik Horneland remains critical, stressing the need to improve the construction of the game in possession phase.

The performance of goalkeeper Gautier Larsonneur was particularly highlighted by columnists Timothy Maymon and Hervé. They stress his ability to make decisive stops, especially in comparison to his period in Ligue 1, where he had more difficulty maintaining an inviolable goal. Larsonneur is presented as a valuable asset for the Ligue 2 team, with a small number of goals in his games. However, the question of the defence and integration of a young guardian, as a potential option for the future, is raised, in connection with the desire to build a group for the future.

The confidence given to Larsonneur, especially as a brewer, raises questions, especially given the defensive difficulties of the team last season. This contrasts with recent recruitment, which favours unknown but promising profiles. The new arbitral guidelines concerning the role of the goaltending master are also mentioned as a potential challenge. The arrival of players such as Jabber and Annaan, who were not previously known, illustrates the club’s ability to find talent, and it is assumed that recruitment focuses on guards, even if this is not explicitly confirmed.
