2 p.m .: Come on, to make you wait, here are two 20-minute readings before the match. We start with a topo on this Ruffier-Puel conflict which prompted the management of ASSE to react via a press release, especially in order to speak out against the multiple lunar media outings of Patrick Glanz, the agent for the Stéphane goalkeeper.

And then after the defeat against OM, we looked at the main reasons for (already) worrying for the Greens, in a tumble. With this sentence full of denial by Franck Honorat: "We say we must be in the top five". Still today after having taken the water again at the promoted Brest (3-2), last Sunday? We meet at 2:45 pm to give you the compositions and the pre-match atmosphere at Geoffroy-Guichard.

Good morning to all 20 Minutos! Welcome to a Cauldron which is likely to be hypra tense this Sunday after considering the disastrous results of the Greens for long weeks in Ligue 1. OK, Sainté will host a semi-final of the Coupe de France in ten days against Rennes, which doesn is not nothing. But imagine the extent of the black streak of Claude Puel's players (16th): they remain on eight defeats over the last nine days of the championship and only have two points ahead of Dijon, barragiste. Chance of the calendar, it was during the first leg in Reims that the ordeal started on December 8, with a setback (3-1). Just this week, the director of the recruitment unit David Wantier would have been dismissed and captain Loïc Perrin left training on Thursday hit in the hip, and therefore forfeited this Sunday (as suspended Fofana, more Hamouma, Khazri, Nordin and Youssouf wounded). And above all, the "Ruffiergate" broke out Friday, when the emblematic goalkeeper of the Greens zapped training after Puel announced that Jessy Moulin would take his place in goals against Reims. In the process, his agent Patrick Glanz wiped out the Stéphane coach with many colleagues as not allowed, and Ruffier is not surprisingly out of the group this Sunday. The dynamics are obviously better on the Stade de Reims side (only the TFC did worse in same time), with a surprise success against Rennes (1-0) a week ago. Why not dream of Europe for the band to David Guion, who would become 5th in the event of perf 'in Forez? We will tell you all about it very quickly over 20 Minutes .
