Dreyer dismissed after his big dumpling against Annecy
Laurent Batlles has revealed the identity of the 19 players from Saint-Etienne to play the 17th day of Ligue 2 against Caen (Friday December 30 at 7:05 p.m.). Among them do not describe the doorman Matthieu Dreyer, guilty of a dumpling Monday evening against Annecy (2-1 defeat of the Greens).
No time to think about the Greens. Stuck in last place in Ligue 2, all the more so after their defeat on Monday evening on the lawn of Annecy (2-1), the men of Laurent Batlles must absolutely recover, Friday, December 30, against Caen in Geoffroy- Guichard (7:05 p.m.).
Dreyer absent from the Saint-Etienne group against Caen after his dumpling against Annecy
For this 17th day of the championship, the Saint-Etienne coach made the decision to do without his goalkeeper Matthieu Dreyer, at fault on the second but from Annecy on Monday in a rather curious way. In the 51st minute of play, on a first strike from Moïse Sahi Dion, the 33-year-old goalkeeper had pushed back somehow. Behind, Léo Pétrot had tried to free the ball which was spinning in the goal but his shot was hit by Dreyer, who no longer knew what to do … and remained completely blocked in front of his goal. The moment of hesitation benefited Moïse Sahi Dion, very attentive to score.
Boubacar Fall and Etienne Green are therefore the two goalkeepers summoned for this crucial meeting against Stade Malherbe. Other notable absentees should be noted on the ASSE side, including Mathys Saban (thigh), Thomas Monconduit, Sergi Palencia and Antoine Gauthier.
“Things were said at half-time in Annecy, hard things”, also developed the manager of the Greens in a press conference. “After the meeting, I didn’t want to insist, I stayed quite sober. The next day, we talked, we worked with video. We tried to make certain things understood. That’s what I repeat for a while. Everyone has explanations, good explanations, but the results on the pitch are not good.” There is no doubt that the Saint-Etienne supporters hope to see their team do much better on Friday evening.
