Romain Hamouma Targets Champions League Success with AS Saint-Étienne
Romain Hamouma and his AS Saint-Étienne teammates are gearing up for a crucial month as they aim to make a mark in the Champions League this season. After a disappointing Europa League exit last year at the hands of Esbjerg, the French winger has made qualification a top priority.
“August is a busy month. We have a Europa League play-off round to get through to the group stage. It’s very important for everyone. It’s even an obsession,” Hamouma told a press conference, as reported by the club’s official website.
Saint-Étienne are yet to discover their next opponent as they prepare to erase the sting of last season’s “big disappointment” in Denmark. The squad continues its preparations smoothly, focused on overcoming the upcoming double-legged tie that will determine their place in Europe’s premier competition.
With high expectations surrounding the club, Hamouma and his teammates know that the road to the Champions League group stage will require their very best performance.
