It was a poster between two finalist clubs of the Champion Club Cup in the past. A pretty duel, between two big names in French football, whose place is probably not in Ligue 2. and the observation also applies to Lucas Stassin, who was the great man of the victory of AS Saint-Etienne against the Stade de Reims on Saturday evening (3-2).
The Belgian scorer was the subject of summer on the side of the Greens. The 20 -year -old striker, bought 10 million euros last year in Westerlo, could have left for double this sum. But the ambitious Stéphanois leaders made the effort to keep it, and it is easy to understand why.
The start of the season of Lucas Stassin was difficult, between the soap for his possible transfer and an injury that removed him from the field during the preparation. Returning little by little, the native of Braine-le-Comte had already been decisive last weekend during the victory in Clermont (1-2), with a goal and a decisive pass. He put it back against Reims with a double.
Stassin has nothing to do in Ligue 2, and that's good for Saint-Etienne
In a spectacular match, Stassin scored a high class goal that made Geoffroy-Guichard stand up, clearly spoiled on Saturday with the decisive jewel of Ivan Miladinovic. This is proof that the Belgian, who has little to do at this level of competition, will be a problem for all Ligue 2 clubs this season.
“Irvin Cardona and Lucas Stassin showed beautiful things, already in L1 last season. They are able to find themselves well and know each other well, Observe the coach Eirik Horneland about his offensive duo. We have several impact players, who can score several angles. Tonight, we saw very pretty goals, but also beautiful sequences. »» And Saint-Etienne is a solid leader of Ligue 2 after
