Winner (1-0) laborious Reims in the opening match of the 32nd day of Ligue 1, the gym maintains its Top 4 hopes in this final sprint. Here are the tops and flops of our editorial staff.
TOPS
Sanson on a cloud
The only goalscorer of this meeting won by Nice but also poor in occasions as in rhythm, Morgan Sanson remained on his cloud acquired thanks to his double against PSG (1-3). A large active in the midfield, the former Marseillais walked through in the first period, with many balloons recovered and improved in the opposing half of the field. Still just to play 90 minutes, Sanson scored his 3rd goal for his fourth outing in the league. Elected, as in Paris, a man of the match, he trained with Boudaoui an excellent double pivot in the midfield, who posed many concerns at the Rémois, he who was finally replaced in the 69th minute of play.
The bouanani nugget
Aligned instead of the excellent Evann Guessand author of 11 goals in Ligue 1 this season, you had to have solid shoulders to make the Ivorian striker for Reims forget. And with this tenure, Badredine Bouanani proved that he had a card to player in the hierarchy of the Nice attackers. With a silky left foot in the pass in particular, the young Algerian (20 years old) has shown that he already had everything of great: agility, reading of the game, speed of execution. A goal against Reims this Friday would have completed its performance which remains encouraging to say the least. With just over 800 minutes of play this season in the league, Bouanani still unlocked his counter with 2 goals and 3 assists registered.
FLOPS
Nakamura muet
The only attacker on the Rémois side on this match on this match (despite the interesting entry of Diakhon), Keito Nakamura patinated this evening against the gym. Author of a failed face-to-face in the second half despite a good action by the Rémois, which put pressure on the goal of Bulka at the end of the match, the Japanese was particularly clumsy this Friday evening. Stopped many times by the defense at three Niçoise, when he took the left corridor, Keito Nakamura has, as usual, fought, but this time without defeating. Author of a avoidable jostling on Mendy, the former Lask obtains his 5th yellow card of the season, a total abnormally high for an attacker.
The gym at the end of the match
Dominator during the first 60 minutes of the match, the gym was overwhelmed by fatigue and its advantage in the scoring to achieve a final half hour, which could even have been guilty. Reinforced with the start of the school year on his front of Diakhon’s attack, Reims has long worried the Aiglons, and the gym (still) gave it to Marcin Bulka to validate his success. With 12 shots cashed, but two in the second half, the OGC Nice also abandoned the balloon monopoly at the Rémois who finished the meeting with more than 55% possession. A victory is a victory, but the content is to be forgotten for the men of Franck Haise on this end of the match.
