Posted on November 8, 2021 at 11:10 pm by DM Despite the victory of ASSE against Clermont (3-2), Pierre Ménès does not hide his pessimism about the situation of the Saint-Etienne club. Led by Clermont , ASSE snatched the victory thanks to goals from Jean-Philippe Krasso and Saïdou Sow in added time ( 3-2). Three points that allow the formation of Claude Puel to overtake FC Metz in the standings and move up to 19th place. After the international break, ASSE will face Troyes on November 21 and will try to keep the momentum going. But despite this renewed confidence, Pierre Ménès is not optimistic. Interviewed on the situation of ASSE, Pierre Ménès indicated that the club could encounter some difficulties during the month of January, in particular because of the departure of certain players to the African Cup of Nations. Especially since the team will not have the means to recruit during the next winter transfer window. “The victory against Clermont does not change the basic problems of the club. There are seven players who will leave for the Africa Cup of Nations at the start of the year and there is no money to sign. So I am not optimistic for the club ”confided Ménès on the Pierrot le Foot website.
