Camara walked on water
It was his glory day.
Mahdi Camara was touched by grace this Saturday during the slap inflicted by Brest on Strasbourg (3-0).
In the 33rd minute, the former Saint-Etienne player started the hostilities of what was initially a rather weak match.
After recovering a blocked shot from Satriano, Camara surprised Bellaarouch with a dry strike, and started his evening.
The double came at the end of a well-executed action by his teammates, which he finished perfectly.
But, he is still not satisfied and asks for more.
In search of his hat-trick, he tried twice to increase the toll, and it was finally the goal that came to him from the penalty spot (58th).
The midfielder left with the match ball as a reward for a match he will not soon forget.
With Roy, football is simple
For almost the entire 90 minutes, Brest gave a feeling of lightness on the pitch, it was almost too easy.
Without forcing too much, the men in red slowly got into the swing of things, taking advantage of Strasbourg's inactivity.
When Madhi Camara opens the score, the game changes and everything becomes simpler in the Brest game, the feeling of seeing a team that is working really well.
Hugo Magnetti suspended, Jonas Martin replaced him perfectly in a three-way environment, the heart and driving force of the collective.
The passing patterns linked together brilliantly, like the second goal, which started with an offensive touch.
In a triangle, Lala combines with Satriano who led the attack to the untouchable Camara, in an amorphous defense.
Brest was on a walk.
FLOPS
Brest was like training
Short passing circuits, rotations and Mahdi Camara steals a penalty from Del Castillo, all in a silent stadium from the first goal, until the final whistle.
You would have thought that Brest was in training.
It's as if Patrick Vieira's men didn't feel concerned about the match.
Late in the duels, too soft defensively, Racing was completely overwhelmed by the intensity offered by Stade Brestois.
In the other direction of the game, it was not better.
Emegha scored the first shot of the game for the locals in the 46th minute of play. And even when the Bretons took their foot off the gas, the RCSA did not raise the shadow of a revolt.
Rare enough to note, the Strasbourg nightmare ended with the Bronca de la Meinau, annoyed by this pitiful performance.
Gameiro, when will the 100th be?
Like the Strasbourg attack, Kévin Gameiro remained silent.
Except that for him, the 100th goal in Ligue 1 is still waiting, since December.
Besides the average performance of number 9, the entire Strasbourg team was not satisfied.
Whether it was 0-0, or when honor had to be saved at the end of the match.
The Alsatians did not bring the slightest danger into the opposing area, as evidenced by their 0.21 Expected Goals (probability that a shot will be converted into a goal).
The lack of desire shown by Racing earned them the anger of their public, although renowned for their wisdom.
