The team: Monaco in the lead thanks to Golovin
A double from Aleksandr Golovin allowed Monaco to dominate Metz (2-1) at the Louis-II stadium and remain at the top of Ligue 1 on Sunday during the 9th day.
Surprised by a magnificent 58m lob from Lamine Camara, the Monegasques relied on two kicks from their Russian midfielder, a curled shot at the entrance to the penalty area and a free kick, to get out in a bad way and safeguard their leadership position.
Best attack in the championship (23 goals), ASM continues its excellent start to the season and still has a one point lead over Nice (2nd) and two over PSG (3rd), who also won Saturday at home, OM (1-0) and Strasbourg (3-0).
The good series: the Canaries no longer laugh yellow
Everything is working well at the moment for Nantes. Pierre Aristouy’s players won against Montpellier on Sunday during the 9th day of Ligue 1 (2-0). This victory symbolizes the very good run of Nantes with 4 successes in the last 5 matches. “We expected a difficult match, we know that Montpellier performs well away. We were a little listless in the first half but we didn’t concede a goal and that’s a major reason for satisfaction,” declared the Canaries coach.
However, everything started badly this season. With no victory in the first four matches of the season, the atmosphere was heavy on the banks of the Erdre when the match resumed.
Lyon at the bottom of the hole
Lyon continues to experience a series of disillusionments. Under the eyes of their American owner John Textor, the Rhone residents, in the midst of a crisis, were unable to win against Clermont (2-1) and were sinking inexorably. Red lantern of the L1 after this further debacle and still without success, OL risks at this rate of living under the threat of relegation until the end.
Disappointment: Jonathan Clauss
In a team which nevertheless held the ball and dominated the first period, Jonathan Clauss never found the right tempo. Often shifted into a position where he should have provided the offensive surplus and the shift, he never managed to achieve it.
Between missed deep passes in the opposing area and lost offensive duels against Melvin Bard, or even Jérémy Boga, the ex-Lensois had a hard time following up after two rather successful starts with the French team.
The statement: “Mentally we are not at the level of the club’s ambitions for the moment” (Bruno Genesio)
Beaten 2-1 on the Lorient pitch, Bruno Genesio’s Stade Rennes nevertheless seemed to dominate the debates, without really finding the solution to win. Which earned the Breton coach to take responsibility after the match: “Football is sometimes weird. The first half is perhaps one of the most accomplished in terms of play with the ball. We once again lacked offensive efficiency. And a superior competitive mentality to avoid being caught on clearances or long balls. Maybe I wasn’t good at halftime, I couldn’t find the words for my team to continue doing what they did well in the first half and correct their mistakes. Mentally we are not at the level of the club’s ambitions for the moment. You can’t make repeated mistakes in the same kind of situations. There is also my responsibility, if the team repeats the same mistakes it is because I cannot correct them. We must show other virtues, to defend well, refuse to concede goals and not give them away as we have been doing since the start of the season. »
The goal: the Camara mine
Without a doubt the goal of this 9th day! While the Messins were grouped at 11 in their half against AS Monaco on Sunday, Grenats midfielder Lamine Camara managed to steal the ball from the Monegasques before unleashing a lofted shot from 58m and taking Philipp Köhn, the Monaco goalkeeper by surprise (4th).
The number: 40, for the tireless Dante
At 40 years and 3 days old, Dante becomes the 5th forty-year-old to play in Ligue 1 in the 21st century after Benjamin Nivet, Gianluigi Buffon, Hilton and Florent Balmont.
