Hamouma asks for patience for Batlles before Nîmes

Already a decisive meeting for the Greens this Saturday afternoon. Because with their three penalty points and the defeat in Dijon (1-2) at the start of the season, a new poor performance against Nîmes could widen an already significant gap with the head of Ligue 2. Because, even if this is not the official speech of the leaders, an immediate recovery is vital for the finances of ASSE.

But in an interview with RTL, Romain Hamouma, who left this summer for Ajaccio (with whom he was expelled last night from… Lyon) after ten seasons in the green jersey, called on the supporters to be patient: “To Saint-Étienne, there were two or three seasons before the downhill where it was the limit, never two without three. Without being able to recruit it was complicated with a group bruised by the previous years. It was a succession of bad choices and bad performances by players that have made the club go down to L2. I hope this will allow the club to renew itself and go on the attack to get back up as quickly as possible. In L2, there are a lot of clubs who are able to go up, we saw in Dijon that there are no easy matches, it was complicated. L2 is tough! If it doesn’t happen this year, it will be year after. You shouldn’t be too demanding, it’s a club in reconstruction. You have to give yourself time, it doesn’t happen in six months.”
