Tops / Flops Nice-Nantes: Blas the man of the Cup, Dolberg the invisible man

2022-05-07T21:24:57.782Z


The decisive matches of Ludovic Blas and Nicolas Pallois but also the match without Kasper Dolberg... find the tops and flops of the final of the Coupe de France.


TOPS

Blas as an ace

Despite Alban Lafont's return to goal, it was Ludovic Blas who kept the captain's armband.

As during the entirety of this victorious campaign, where he was Nantes' top scorer (5 goals).

Until the end, since it was he who scored the only goal of the match (1-0) on a penalty that capsized the Nantes corner (47th).

A goal as a symbol of his campaign but also and above all of his full match.

Positioned as a real playmaker, the number 10 has constantly stood out to offer behind his attacking duo, even going so far as to concretize the actions himself (13th, 28th, 53rd, 60th).

Simon-Kolo Muani, each his half-time

Invisible in the first period, Randal Kolo Muani returned transfigured from the locker room.

At the origin of the action of the penalty, the regional of the stage (he was born in Bondy) was the most dangerous Nantes in the second half.

In particular, he misses offering a goal on a plateau to his friend Moses Simon a few minutes later (58th).

Always as lively in the duel, his partner had signaled him in the first half, both in the air and on the ground, as on this breakthrough from the left (36th).

The only pitfall for the Nigerian, a recurring loss on an outgoing corner.

Pallois, rear guard

Imperial in the duel, Nicolas Pallois delivered a new reference match in line with a season where he silenced the critics.

Reputed to be hard on the man, the central defender even allowed himself a fantasy with this defensive roulette leaving the surface (69th).

Enough to arouse a great ovation by the Nantes bend after the meeting.

When he was (rarely) helpless, his partners took over, starting with Andrei Girotto.

Impregnable from the head, the Brazilian extinguished the Brazilian offensives in the air, when the third of the band, Jean-Charles Castelletto bailed behind, as on his intervention in extremis on Gouiri (70th).

Gouiri has tried everything

While Christophe Galtier had promised him a return in the axis, Amine Gouiri returned to the left of the 4-4-2 with a view to aligning the three offensive forces of the Gym (with Delort and Dolberg).

Much less influential on the left in recent weeks, the former Lyonnais has however been the most prominent striker with the Aiglons.

First player to stand out (8th), he was the attacker at the conclusion of all Nice actions.

Without success, as on this full axis breakthrough, where he liked to dezone full axis to bring the surplus (29th).

Will just miss the finish until the end, as on the double parade of Alban Lafont (71st).

FLOPS

Boudaoui, the farewell hand

An involuntary hand that unlocks the final.

Unhappy on the first action of the second period (46th), the Algerian right midfielder in spite of himself precipitated the defeat of Nice.

Before that, his first period had been interesting on a side that he did not hesitate to abandon to offer between the lines, in particular to launch Gouiri (29th).

In second, he quickly revived by overflowing twice on his side but he was caught by his waste in the last gesture (72% of successful passes) before going out (57th).

Ghostly Dolberg

The weeks follow each other and look alike for Kasper Dolberg.

Returned to the top, to the detriment of a Gouiri exiled to the left, where he is less influential, the Dane suffers from the comparison.

Even with an Andy Delort force of proposal if not sharp (33rd).

Too little mobile, the former Ajax was never able to provide a solution in the area.

Result: no opportunity and even less shooting.

His exit on the hour mark (63rd) allowed Gouiri to refocus, however well muzzled by the Nantes rearguard.

Bard too tender

In difficulty from the start of the match, Melvin Bard had a very complicated final.

Both defensively, where Simon often enjoyed himself, and offensively, where he failed to take advantage of the space left by Gouiri in the offensive phase.

Or failing that, as on this completely failed return before the break (44th).

Often touched by his partners (112 balls), he was too neutral in his choices before leaving before the end (86th).
