Amine Gouiri is waiting for Saint-Etienne on a firm footing with Nice. For the people of Nice, the “real” derby, that of the Côte d’Azur, will take place in Monaco on Wednesday. But the opposition against the Greens on Sunday certainly has a very particular echo for Gouiri, a native of Bourgoin-Jallieu, but Lyonnais since he was 13, when he joined the OL training center. In the first leg at Geoffroy-Guichard, the Côte d’Azur center forward had already scored the second of three goals in a clear victory in Nice (3-1) and he hopes to repeat Sunday at home, to help the GYM to continue after a important success in Lens (1-0) last week.

Case of experience
After the essential breath of fresh air taken in Lens, Ursea recalled that to really extricate themselves from the soft stomach, Nice (12th) now had to “put more offensive aggressiveness“. In Lens, where Nice has rediscovered the virtues of solidity and defensive solidarity with a low and compact bloc, the collective animation has indeed been quite poor and Gouiri, who has spent lavishly, sometimes lacked lucidity and discernment in decision making.

“I think it’s the end”: What if Villas-Boas wanted to shorten his suffering at OM?
A simple matter of experience according to Patrice Alberganti, former striker of the club, now consultant to France Bleu Azur. “He has a technique far above the average.
