• Without the slightest success since the start of the championship, ASSE put an end to this terrible series by beating Clermont on Sunday (3-2).

  • The scenario turned out to be incredible, in a Geoffroy-Guichard stadium without a supporter because of the incidents of the match against Angers, since the Greens recovered two goals behind in the last quarter of an hour.

  • Kings of added time, Claude Puel's men are leaving the place of red lantern in Ligue 1, and are only three points behind Reims, Brest and Bordeaux.

What if additional time saved ASSE in six months?

The Greens (now 19th) may have only 9 points out of 39 possible, after 13 days in Ligue 1, they have indeed snatched five in the last moments.

The Saint-Etienne season, most often pathetic until then, may have shifted into the sinister atmosphere of a Cauldron behind closed doors (after the incidents against Angers), Sunday against the neighbor Clermont (3-2).

Led 0-2 at the approach of the last quarter of an hour, the players of Claude Puel more than ever on the edge of the precipice did not lead wide.

"You tell yourself that you are back in the galley, recognizes Ryad Boudebouz.

But when Arnaud Nordin scores [1-2, 78th], we tell ourselves that anything is possible.

"

"Being able to count on this character is magnificent"

The entry into play in the 67th minute of the international hopefuls clearly changed the situation, since he then signed the two decisive corners allowing Jean-Philippe Krasso [2-2, 90th + 2] and Saïdou Sow [ 3-2, 90th + 4] to release ASSE at the end of additional time. After the draws snatched in extremis against OL thanks to Wahbi Khazri (1-1, 90th + 5) and against Angers with Mickaël Nadé (2-2, 90th + 4), not even counting the equalization of Saïdou Sow against Le Losc (1-1, 85th), we tell ourselves that this team has resources.

"If some doubted it, it shows that nobody cheats, appreciates Claude Puel.

I would prefer that we be able to dominate our subject in the regular time.

But when we are in our situation, with these scenarios, to be able to count on this state of mind, this character, it is enormous and magnificent.

It is a group which is forging itself in difficulty and which will be very strong.

“Very strong, we will not go that far, but he left 20th place for the first time since September 26 (replaced by Metz), and here he was relaunched, with only three points behind Reims, Brest and Bordeaux .
