According to the news in L’Equipe, Saint Etienne coach Pascal Dupraz called on the Muslim football players in the team and suggested that they should not fast in order to stay in the cluster.
While this statement of the French coach had a wide repercussion in the country, it was a matter of curiosity how the players would react to this proposal.
Saint Etienne played 2 matches during the month of Ramadan. In this process, the team, which was defeated 4-2 against Marseille and 6-2 in Lorient, could not win in the last 4 matches in the league.
