AS Saint-Étienne in Ligue 2, it makes some people dream. Like last season, the arrival of the Greens in the various second division stadiums will be awaited at the turn by the various local clubs.
With the four descents from Ligue 1 (Angers, Troyes, Ajaccio and Auxerre), Ligue 2 is likely to be tougher than last season. AS Saint-Étienne nonetheless remains the showcase for this French Ligue 2 BKT championship. Already last season, the arrival of the Greens each time generated human tides in the various stadiums in France, the locals achieving their best attendance of the season on seven occasions. This was the case in Grenoble, Le Havre, Laval, Paris, QRM, Rodez as well as in Sochaux.
For the second season of the Greens in the antechamber of Ligue 1, this phenomenon should not weaken. Evidenced by the words of Jacques Pirioupresident of US Concarneau, in the sports daily The Team about the arrival of AS Saint-Étienne. The latter is simply living a childhood dream: “We’re like a kid at the Christmas tree, who opens the present, and says to himself: oh yeah, it’s beautiful. We want to play it as long as possible. Concarneau-Saint-Étienne… No, but wait… Damn, it’s huge!“
The players of Laurent Batlles will go to Concarneau or rather to Lorient until the work is finished at the Guy-Piriou stadium (the father of President Jacques Piriou, editor’s note), the weekend of September 23. The president of Concarneau remains no less ambitious: “And that doesn’t mean we won’t beat them“he ended up declaring to the sports daily.

It is not the first time that the president of the club, which will make the first season in its history at this level, has mentioned the reception of AS Saint-Étienne. This prospect had already taken his wife aback, as he had confided a few weeks ago, already in the columns of the Team: “It gives chills. My wife, who is not at all football, told me says: “But you are going to play against Saint-Étienne?” Well yes, we are going to play Saint-Étienne.”
