Three matches this Saturday, with another victory for Lorient, which has therefore just taken ten points in four games and now has 22 in the standings, three points behind Strasbourg, ahead of Nantes… This is a rather unexpected total when you look at the victories snatched in the last minutes against Dijon and PSG. But this team found the consistency it lacked at the start of the season. I think that the change of goalkeeper is also very beneficial to the Merlus, Dreyer being much more reassuring than Nardi.
The Bretons won on a nice goal from the left foot of Abergel, who had already opened the scoring against PSG. So of course, it was not a football summit and we must also recognize that this is rarely the case with Reims, which after a few more exciting matches, fell back into its pitfalls this week, with zero goals scored. , hardly used and an infinite razor game. With this success, Lorient is six points behind his evening opponent, with one game less.
At 7 p.m., Lyon very easily disposed of a ghostly Strasbourg team and strangely tampered with by Laurey. And while Racing was already in great difficulty at the start of the meeting, the expulsion of Thomasson for a kick on Mendes did not help. So, according to my information, the inappropriate words then uttered by the Alsatian and which earned him his second yellow card were not addressed to the referee but to a Lyon player. OK, but when you just put on a voluntary pump and take a yolk, the least you can do is make yourself small.
Rennes, nothingness
Behind, Aouar, quicker than Prcic, launched Memphis quicker than Mitrovic to go and beat Kawashima. The second goal comes on a very nice pass from Mendes for a little dive from Toko-Ekambi – helped by the tackle from Djiku – and the third on a superb coiled free kick from Memphis. A quiet and uneventful match for the Lyonnais who regain the lead in the championship and continue to put pressure on Paris and Lille. The Strasbourg ones took only two points in four games, which plunges them back into the maintenance race, especially with the return of Lorient.
And then for the last CFC on Saturday – since we are resuming our beautiful habits of yesteryear tomorrow – we had a terrible purge between Lens and Rennes. It was known that the Bloods and Golds would struggle creatively with Kakuta’s absence, so the Haise players stuck to their principles by getting organized behind and trying to play fast forward. But apart from the triple opportunity at the start of the match, triply stopped by Gomis and a Michelin cross on the post, there was nothing …
But what about the Rennes performance? What about a team that has played in the Champions League, which is clearly aiming for a place in the European Cup? How can you go and play for a promoted who has immense difficulties at home with so little ambition, with a tactic modeled on that of the Lensois? The offensive nothingness of Rennes for several days is problematic. OK, Guirassy was just recovering but Terrier is ghostly, Doku continues to want to dribble himself, Hunou has not returned, Niang is back in the cellar… The Rouge et Noir season is taking on very disappointing contours.
