Ligue 1: violent incidents before the match between Saint-Etienne and Angers

Violent incidents broke out in the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium before the match between Saint-Etienne and Angers (11th day of Ligue 1), causing a one hour delay of the kick-off.

During the first warm-up of the players, the kops had deployed accusing banners for the coach, Claude Puel, the managers and the players, guilty according to them of the current chaos of the team. “We have discussed enough, you make us crack”, could one read in the stands while pyrotechnic devices were launched.

“Puel resignation”, “direction resignation”, “we want a team worthy of its audience”, also chanted the supporters. THE

The tension rose further when several ultras burst onto the lawn, which was also raining down on smoke. Numerous images published on social networks testified to the scale of the incidents.

The services of the Metropolis, owner of the stadium, even had to intervene to patch up the nets, which had been burned by the projectiles.

The players from Saint-Etienne and Angevin, who had entered the locker room in the meantime, did not return to the pitch until 45 minutes later. And the kickoff was finally given around 10 p.m.

High tensions

Thursday, already, the three main groups of ultras from Saint-Etienne, Magic Fans, Green Angels and Independent had shown their strong anger, hanging a banner on the grids of the training center threatening the coach of the Greens: “Puel, you have 24 hours to resign ”.

ASSE should be very severely sanctioned after these new events. The disciplinary commission on Wednesday imposed a suspended two-game suspension of the south stand of the stadium after incidents noted during the derby against Lyon on October 3.

AS Saint-Etienne, which has not won a single match since the start of the season, is currently 20th and last in the standings.
