Grégory Schneider, “ASSE the red lantern in Ligue 2, which leaves me quite cold”

According to him, there is no need to feel sorry for the fate of the Stéphanois, because they deserve what is happening to them. “This ranking is a sporting verdict, it’s competition,” he said right away.
“There are teams that do certain things well, managers who do certain things well and others who do them less well. So yes it pains me for them but how much it would pain me for Niort or Quevilly to see them fight. Neither more nor less. This kind of popular luster shouldn’t give them a totem of immunity or various media plaudits. ASSE, the red lantern in Ligue 2, which leaves me quite cold”, the journalist then hammered Publicationbefore clarifying the point: “If we go that way […] we will release 12 Ligue 2 clubs that deserve a legacy and that have marked history, I don’t see why there would be a privilege for ASSE”.
Recall that AS Saint-Etienne was relegated to Ligue 2 in May 2022, after the play-off against AJ Auxerre. In this season, in which four teams descend to the lower leagues, the Greens still risk relegation to the national team.
