ASSE and Toulouse win again
Le Puy-ASSE: 0-1
For their second preparation match, the new version of the Greens won their second victory under the direction of Laurent Battles, this time on the ground of Puy which plays in National – three days after dominating Evian 3-0. It was Antoine Gauthier who scored the only goal of the game in the first period (19th). The new Stéphane coach changed his entire team at the break.
Among the (young) known names likely to reassure Foréz supporters, Etienne Green, Mickaël Nadé, Yvann Maçon, Harold Moukoudi, Mahdi Camara, Yvan Neyou, Zaydou Youssouf or Charles Abi were out, supervised by experienced defenders Jimmy Giraudon and Antoine Briancon. It is the hard core of this ASSE that will attempt the recovery operation. Next meeting in three days, against Grenoble.
Toulouse-Pau: 2-0
As for Toulouse, who met Saint-Etienne in the elevator, the preparation also continues to go well, with a third victory in three games (after a 2-0 in front of Nîmes and a 6-1 against Troyes) . Rafael Ratao opened the scoring at the end of the first period (45th) then the TFC took off thanks to an own goal, still relying on the managers of the last season – Rasmus Nicolaisen, Branco van den Boomen, Stijn Spierings, Brecht Dejaegere.
Coach Philippe Montanier is picky: “We put in a little less energy than on Saturday, with a little less binder. entered, I am also happy to have given them the opportunity to express themselves.” The rest will have Spanish accents, with his former club Real Sociedad on Saturday, then Osasuna two days later. “We will suffer and it will be important,” concluded the TFC coach.
