Irvin Cardona, loaned by Augsburg to AS Saint-Étienne, was disappointed in the match against Strasbourg. Journalist Bernard Lions, in the columns of L’Équipe, did not spare his criticism of the attacker who was supposed to be the savior of the Greens to ensure their retention in Ligue 1. From the second minute Cardona missed a golden opportunity, rebuked by Petrovic, before sending the second attempt off frame while the goal was wide open. This action symbolizes his nightmare night, where he also missed a penalty at Lens just before half time. Coach Eirik Horneland is lucid but bitter in the face of Cardona’s missed opportunities, including a head on the bar and a completely missed left recovery at the 59th minute. If Cardona disappoints outside, he continues to shine at the Geoffroy-Guichard where he has scored his 4 goals since his return to the Forez. The next two matches will be played precisely in the Chaudron, a last chance for Cardona to silence the critics and respond on the ground to the critics of Bernard Lions who designated him as the main responsible for the Stéphanois offensive failure in Strasbourg.
