If the Aiglons de Nice continue to soar in the heights of Ligue 1, it is partly thanks to the always sharp claws of Amine Gouiri.
In the absence of Andy Delort, package, the 21-year-old Isère striker took care of everything: dribble and golden pass for Khéphren Thuram (58th), penalty converted from a “panenka” (86th).
His Sunday could have been embellished with a double, but the VAR frustrated him by signaling an unclear offside (76th).

An almost perfect performance… but not entirely to the taste of his coach Christophe Galtier, who spoke at a press conference after the match.
“Amine is once again decisive, it’s very good for him and for the team. He is a young player who needs to improve in consistency, but that obviously comes with the sequence of matches. He must be very demanding of himself. I insist on that every day with him. He listens and sometimes, like a youngster, he can irritate, but he corrects a lot of things in his game, ”commented the Greens coach.
The latter was not necessarily the way the striker from Bourgoin-Jallieu took his penalty victoriously. “His panenka? I think, and I haven’t told him yet, but he will learn that on a field like that, it’s very risky. And it’s passed the limit…”.
A benevolent remark from Galtier, however, with the aim of further advancing the nugget of OGC Nice.
