AS Saint-Étienne Fan Makes Waves in the U.S. with Times Square Broadcast

After the regular broadcasts offered by the actor Timothée Chalamet in the media, an unconditional fan of the Greens, AS Saint-Étienne continues to make waves in the United States! This time, it was due to the opinion of Nassim, one of his supporters from Saint-Étienne, that the Greens were presented in full force in the heart of New York. A joke that was first launched on social networks by this 21-year-old student and eventually turned into a sensation.

France Bleu Saint-Étienne Loire – How did this idea of ​​broadcasting Irvin Cardona’s goal on one of the screens in Times Square come about?

Nassim – It’s been weeks since I’ve seen ads about those ads you can buy on these big screens. On my social networks, I launched this idea by announcing that if it was liked at least fifty times, I would do it. So I did it. I went to the application allowing you to buy input on these screens, offering a video of Cardona’s second goal against Bordeaux. I paid 40 dollars for fifteen seconds of broadcast, I booked the 5 pm slot and started the frenzy on Twitter by celebrating the ASSE club in particular. At first, I did this as a joke with my friends, hoping that Irvin Cardona would find out, but once the video was leaked and sent out, it on a large scale.

How did you feel when you saw this video broadcast in Times Square?

Before the broadcast, I didn’t really believe it. The video had to be checked first before it was broadcast. The check lasted between 30 and 45 minutes, and once confirmation was confirmed by email, I began to believe it. When I saw the video come up, I was really happy and I thought people were going to love it. It was worth it, it was the most profitable 40 dollars of my life. I really liked it, it was cool.

Have you heard back from AS Saint-Étienne?

My first reaction was in a tweet even before the video went live, the club announcing that they were going to try to warn Irvin Cardona. Once the video was broadcast, the club liked it on the networks. For me, it is already very big, but I dream of receiving comments from Irvin Cardona, a player I admire and who made us tremble against Bordeaux.

After scoring this goal in Times Square, what are you going to do to celebrate ASSE’s promotion to Ligue 1?

(laughs) I’ll think about it, maybe by broadcasting something else in Times Square, a video a little longer than fifteen seconds, I don’t know yet.
