Strasbourg's waterproof defense
Led by Aleksander Djiku, the Strasbourg defense took over the Nice attackers, namely Andy Delort and Kasper Dolberg from the first minutes of the match.
Muzzled, the Niçois were never really able to procure dangerous actions, the fault of the good defensive system put in place by Strasbourg.
With three central defenders for two attackers, the excess made a major difference.
A performance to repeat.
Amine Gouiri, a late but noticed entry
Substitute at the start of the meeting, Amine Gouiri performed twenty minutes of quality.
On the left side, the young French striker quickly gained the upper hand over his opponent Frédéric Guilbert.
Often available, the top scorer of OGC Nice did not have the playing time he hoped for in this part but he showed Christophe Galtier what he was capable of.
A strong signal sent to his coach.
Flops
The Nice defenders have cracked ...
Best defense in the championship at the start of the match (12 goals conceded), however, this was not seen on the lawn of the Allianz Riviera.
Dominated, put under pressure, the teammates of Jean-Clair Todibo showed their limits against valiant Strasbourg.
The score is heavy at the end of the meeting but for Dante, "
everything is to be reviewed
" to improve as quickly as possible.
A silent attack
Neither Andy Delort nor Kasper Dolberg managed to catch goalkeeper Matz Sels.
Author of a face-to-face meeting just before the break (45th), the former Montpellier striker could have put his team back in the game.
For his Danish teammate, the rendered copy is bad.
Not in legs, harmless, Kasper Dolberg did not exist in this part.
Christophe Galtier, coaching called into question
By leaving Amine Gouiri and Dante on the bench, the French technician Christophe Galtier deprived himself of two important players during the last outings of the Aiglons.
Impactful and dribbler, Amine Gouiri immediately took the advantage against his opponent.
With Dante, the defense was more serene.
But Melvin Bard's injury made Nice's defensive reorganization difficult.
All of its changes raise questions.
Are the Niçois struggling to chain matches?
Are they tired?
The next Nice results will tell.
