Stassin, the big blow for ASSE?
« Lucas Stassin is very young. He played in Belgian D1. He didn’t have any great experiences. He will be 20 years old in November. It’s still very young to enter a major championship like that. He has the public and they are going to be patient with him. If there was such an investment in him, it is not for nothing. I know Loïc Perrin who is in the recruitment unit, Ilan too. They wanted to invest for the future », he says on the microphone of the show Sainté Night Club on YouTubebefore recognizing that we still have to be patient with Lucas Stassin.
“They wanted to invest for the future”
« A heavy transfer for Stassin to bear? Of course. Already when he arrives at Saint-Étienne, he sees the supporters, he sees the excitement around the club. Young players who arrive at ASSE do not realize the greatness of the club until they get there. ASSE is not as well known abroad. They don’t know. In France, Saint-Étienne is a very big club. Everyone knows it. Everyone knows the story of Saint Stephen. But they learn it when they arrive. So they have a lot of pressure », added Mevlut Erding.
