This Lille champion version
They are not there to laugh. Dispatched in three stages, the Girondine mission of Lille has turned into a real plebiscite. If the Mastiffs have sometimes suffered, they never seemed to worry too much, strong in their certainties. Capable of winning matches with drooling lips and a knife between their teeth, as in Rennes, Lille can release their offensive fury at any time. And talent is not lacking. Spinning, fast, efficient, like the superb counter-attack of the third goal, the attackers set the stage. In a crazy dynamic, the LOSC continues to take the first place and has a good face as a leader. Until when ?

Big pressure from LOSC on L1 … 3-0 in Bordeaux, not trivial. #FCGBLOSC

The game produced by Nantes
Nantes supporters had probably not seen a match of this quality in the game for many weeks. This Wednesday evening, in Saint-Étienne, the Canaries showed that they could master leather and above all, use it well to create dangerous opportunities. Raymond Domenech’s tactical adjustments have borne fruit as the former coach of the Blues had decided to align a very playful midfielder composed of Chirivella, Louza, Corchia and Blas, positioned just behind the hard-hitting Simon and Kolo Muani. A choice that paid off on the first goal where Blas threw Fabio in one touch before he sent a perfect cross for Kolo Muani. And if in Forez, the Nantes coach had managed to find his typical team after several trial and error meetings? In any case, the FCN has shown that it has something to do with it and will have to confirm this trend this weekend against Lille.

What an action, what a goal! Incredible to see a team in distress go on like this! #ASSEFCN

The Blood and Gold wave
What an energy! Fluffed by the realism of the Marseillais in the first act, the Lensois released the heavy artillery in a rhythmic and exciting second act. Led 0-2, the Artesians took control with the mad desire to get the three points and it did not play out in the end. Lens did not hesitate for a single second to discover himself behind, to attack with six or even seven, to create the surplus, to strike … Far from the eternal teams mounted in L1 to concrete and hang the maintenance, the RCL shows that ‘ we can have fun and at the same time ensure our objectives. How far will the Blood and Gold wave rise?

I’m not very objective but it’s still a pleasure to see this Lens team evolve this season. #RCLOM

Laborde, the savior of an MHSC in the hard
Led from the start of the second period, Montpellier gradually approached a new defeat. But Laborde decided otherwise. Aligned on the left side, he centered a lot in the first half without much success. And despite the absence of Andy Delort, with whom he likes to be aligned, the striker still managed to be decisive by scoring his seventh goal of the season. He recovers the ball in the area, then chaining a one-two with an opposing defender, he strikes from the left to deceive Oukidja. The Pailladin striker is currently allowing MHSC to keep their heads above water.

Let us note nevertheless the genius of the bridge:
It is the worst month of January to disgust potential buyers and as soon as the transfer window is over it begins to be decisive again.

Christophe Pelissier’s paid coaching
Dijon, Paris and now Rennes. For three days of the Championship, Christophe Pelissier has a nose, flair and above all, knows how to choose his men. At the time of the count, that makes seven points taken out of nine. Against PSG, while his team is led, the former coach decides at the hour of play to bring in Moffi and Wissa to hope for at least the equalizer. The two entrants will finally offer him the victory by scoring a goal each. This Wednesday evening, bis repetita, but with a new entrant, Quentin Boisgard. The player loaned by Toulouse, also a scorer, brought bite to a Lorient team lacking inspiration at Roazhon Park. And enabled the equalization. Coaching that pays off, once again. In three days, Lorient took four points against strong opponents. Keenly contested before these meetings, Christophe Pélissier has shown that he could largely be in the nails. It is often in adversity that we achieve the best results.

We didn’t like
Lyon’s sufficiency
Yes, OL won in Dijon and follow the impressive pace of LOSC at the top of Ligue 1. But the Lyonnais will not come out victorious in many meetings by displaying this face. Able to be sharp on lightning, like their only goal of the meeting, Garcia’s men were especially annoyed this Wednesday night. Little invested and not applied in a good number of simple gestures, they would undoubtedly have been joined against an adversary of another standing. Cornet was taken out at the break, but the attacking trio in front also disappointed. Like a headlong Depay and a Kadewere of rare imprecision.
–
#DFCOL : 0-1! 3pts ???? match in overall sufficiency: lack of real juice or control of the players of their performances? Good stabilizing input of #DeSciglio. The offensives seem to lack technical accuracy, combinations. Attention Strasbourg is coming. @OL

The terrible wound of Reine-Adelaide
The kind of thing that nobody likes to see. Especially in this context. An end to the game without any stake since Monaco largely dominated the meeting. However, it was in extra time that Jeff Reine-Adélaïde collapsed while holding his left knee. A year ago, it was his right knee that had bothered him. Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, in December 2019, while still playing in Lyon, the international hope had given up on the rest of his season. Against Monaco, it was while trying to control a ball that his knee gave way inward. Looking skyward and cry of pain, the Nice man preferred not to put his eyes on his joint. Evacuated on a stretcher, it will be necessary to wait for the examinations to know the nature of this injury.

NO KIDDING
WE LOSE DANTE, WE LOSE QUEEN ADELAIDE, WE LOSE THE DERBY
WE LOST EVERYTHING !!!!!

Kehrer, the weak link
Facing Nîmes au Parc, all PSG players in difficulty woke up. All except Thilo Kehrer. Bakker, Dagba, Gueye, these three players often criticized for their performance achieved a decent match. Despite a crossbar at the reception of a corner (23rd), Kehrer was illustrated by many defensive errors. Too fair passes, a placement leaving too much space for attackers and a worrying speed, Kehrer has often allowed himself to be physically overtaken by his opponents.
–
The best offensive player in Nîmes tonight is Thilo Kehrer.

Strasbourg cracking
In great shape since December, Racing had all the cards in hand to extend its good momentum. But at 2-0 twenty minutes from time, Thierry Laurey’s men managed the feat of relaunching a Brest at the bottom of the bucket. Not dangerous for a penny so far, the Bretons took advantage of defensive mistakes to reduce the gap on a scramble in the area. Enough to sow panic in the heads of the Alsatian players who curled up in their camp while waiting for the end. It came well, except that Jérémy Le Douaron made sure to plant a last dagger a few seconds before. Improbable but above all regrettable.

This is the kind of situation that must yell, intolerable to see such a demobilization of course the tactics to its importance but there I felt a crying lack of professionalism, faced with these clubs there is a lack of grinta on the ground.
