Pascal Dupraz is doing good at AS Saint-Étienne. Since the arrival of the 59-year-old French technician, the Greens have been doing better in the league. They are simply no longer last in Ligue 1. The Forez club is now in 16th place in the standings after the draw conceded this Sunday against RC Strasbourg Alsace (2-2), in Geoffroy-Guichard, as part of the 25th day of L1. In a post-match press conference, the former Toulouse coach expressed his satisfaction while calling for vigilance. “The players are in the project which is ours, to leave ASSE in Ligue 1”he initially launched.
“Their performances brought people back to the stadium. Nothing is acquired. The progress is that against Nantes (0-1) and Lens (1-2), we were disappointed because we had lost with the feeling that we could score. This time, without delivering our best game, we took a point and on the last changes, I tried to put attacking players even in positions that were not theirs. With these results, the team stores confidence but not enough. Against Metz (March 6, editor’s note), it will be worth its weight in peanuts and with this audience, we feel stronger. We have just taken ten points and we would sign well to take as many over the next four matches. » The maintenance operation is well and truly underway.
