L’ ASSE left the last place of L2, but is not yet out of the red zone. There is therefore no need to ignite as indicated Larsonneur.
After its victory over the Chamois Niortais (1-0), ASSE is no longer the red lantern of Ligue 2. New goalkeeper holder of theAS Saint-Etiennee, Gautier Larsonneur (25) contributed to the success of his new team thanks to his decisive saves. He has even already entered the history of the Loire club, achieving two clean sheets and two victories during his first two appearances in the league, in the jersey of the Greens. Laurent Batlles has been breathing better since ASSE took points, ie 7 out of 9 in the last three games before mid-season.
In addition to Gautier Larsonneur, another recruit, Gaetan Charbonnier (34), was decisive. He has scored two goals in the last three matches for the Greens. The center-forward transferred from AJ Auxerre gave ASSE the point of a draw in added time against SM Caen (1-1), then victory over Chamois Niortais in Niort (1-0).
ASSE: Larsonneur advises Saint-Etienne not to ignite
The Stéphanois are certainly no longer last in the championship, thanks to the contribution of the players who arrived as reinforcements in Forez, but they are still eligible for National. They have only one point more than the Niortais (19th) and two more than the Nîmes Olympique (20th). However, four clubs go down to National at the end of this season. Lucid about the still fragile situation of ASSE, Gautier Larsonneur believes that now is not the time to get inflamed. He thus invited his teammates to remain focused on the objective of maintenance.
“It’s just a small step. Let’s stay humble, that’s the most important”he recommended, in a message posted on Twitter. “Thank you to our 500 supporters who made the trip to Niort and to those who were in front of their television. » As a reminder, ASSE receives FC Sochaux (4th in Ligue 2) at Geoffroy-Guichard, on January 28 at 3 p.m., during the 20th day.
