ASSE starts its Ligue 2 season with a dense schedule, including trips to Clermont, Reims and Amiens, offering the opportunity to find familiar players like Thomas Monconduit and Victor Lobry. The season will be particularly exciting in the Hauts de France region, which concentrates four Ligue 2 clubs: Clermont, Annecy, Grenoble and Saint-Etienne. The previous passages of ASSE in this region have not been particularly significant. The team will have to face Boulogne sur Mer on 23 August, following the demotion of Ajaccio, and Dunkirk at the beginning of December, making this region a recurring destination for the Greens. The club is also preparing to face Rodez for the second day of Ligue 2, after an initial draw against Laval.

Aïmen Moueffek, midfielder of ASSE, is committed to the integration of young players into the professional group, sharing his experience and providing valuable support. He sees this role as a contribution to the team’s cohesion, stressing the importance of the changing unit in achieving the objectives of the season. This approach is also a way to convey club values and coach Geoffroy-Guichard’s requirement. Moueffek will put these principles into practice in the next match against Rodez, both on the field and outside.

The Laval team suffered a significant loss with the expulsion of Théo Pellenard during the match against Saint-Étienne. His defensive gesture, although aimed at avoiding a dangerous opportunity for ASSE, was sanctioned by the LFP Disciplinary Commission with a suspension of two meetings. Lavalois coach Olivier Frapolli acknowledged that his team had taken tactical risks in the final minutes of the game, explaining the need for Pellenard to intervene on the cover. This decision deprives Laval of an experienced defense player.
