Jean-Michel Larqué is in great shape at the moment. The former friend of Thierry Roland has lost none of his verb since he officiates on RMC. This weekend, he first pulled in red ball on Olympique de Marseille and his coach, Roberto de Zerbi. But he remained under the hood and Sunday morning, he returned the cover, this time targeting his former AS Saint-Etienne club.
The emblematic figure of the Greens in the 1970s, the former tricolor international was questioned about the situation of the Stéphanois, atomized on their lawn on Saturday evening by Paris Saint-Germain (1-6, 27th day of Ligue 1). And Jean-Michel Larqué is beyond sadness. He is now inhabited by another feeling.
“I am not struggled, I am not sad. I'm ashamed. It's not the same. I am ashamed to see my club in this situation. »»
For the seventy-seven year-old consultant, the present and the future of the Greens are more than worrying. “I have a thought for people who, one day, because there was the Tandem Caïazzo-Romeyer,” said: “ 'You have to sell the club, you will see, and everything will be better'. Today we have sold the club and on what I know, and I know a lot, it's a club where nobody works. »» A shattering revelation from Jean-Michel Larqué who did not stop there.
“No one works,” deplores J-ML
“There is a main shareholder that we saw once. Yesterday, there was the president who spent once a month. And then there are two Canadians whom no one knows at the club, who treat current affairs (…). It is a club where nobody works. »» What to upset the former footballer at the highest point. “To be sad, I would have to have feelings for the players who make up this team. But you do not finish a match without conceding a penalty, without there being an expelled. From this team, and I don't care if I put my feet in the dish, you did not have one who would have been holder in team B of my time. »»
Jean-Michel Larqué also cited an anecdote to explain that the players did not have the culture of the club and did not really know their glorious elders. So many facts that completely despair the former Stéphanois. After twenty-six games played this season in Ligue 1, Saint-Etienne is the penultimate in the ranking.
