ASSE overthrew Reims (3-1) for the very convincing debut of Eirik Horneland on the bench. Here are our notes for the Greens, transformed…
LARSONEUR (5.5)
Shot on Nakamura's goal, he had very few balls to negotiate, ASSE having copiously dominated the debates throughout the match.
APPIAH (6)
A nice opening for Cafaro (32nd), a desire to move forward that we didn't know about until then. A few oversights, but he delivered a good match.
BATUBINSIKA (6)
One or two misses but he was vigilant and rather solid, the Reims attackers rarely showing themselves dangerous.
HOPE (8)
When he's there, it's no longer the same defense! The left-hander held the house, released hot balls and sounded the revolt with this tumble punctuated by a great cross on Boakye's equalizer. A big match.
PETROT (6)
As usual he held on, he didn't give up. And like this time the whole team showed combativeness and aggressiveness…
EKWAH (7)
In front of the defense, he distinguished himself by a nice opening full axis for Stassin (29th) and he was very present on the second balls. Without doubt his best match since his arrival.
MOUTON (7), then TARDIEU
Mouton missed a great opportunity to open the scoring by finding Diouf's post (32nd). But he raked in a lot of balls, he made a nice comeback in front of Ito (53rd) and he initiated the last two goals. One of the great satisfactions of the meeting. Replaced by TARDIEU.
BOUCHOUARI (7)
It was he who lit the first fuse (4th). He projected himself a lot, he often found the offensive players in depth, notably with a good serve for Cafaro (36th). All without forgetting to defend. In line with the end of the year.
BOAKYE (7), puis MILADINOVIC
On his right wing, Boakye often came close but he made up for it by scoring twice, including a second goal full of composure. Perfect for his confidence. Replaced by MILADINOVIC.
CAFARO (6), then MOUEFFEK
Cafaro caused big problems for the Reims defense with his deep calls. The finishing failed him with two good missed opportunities in the first half (22nd, 36th), but his performance was encouraging, like the team. Replaced by MOUEFFEK.
STASSIN (7), then N’GUESSAN
With a much higher team block, Stassin touched many more balls than in previous matches. He lacked speed when adjusting Diouf (29th) but he was rewarded for his efforts with an assist for Boakye and a nice goal following a slalom punctuated by a flick. Replaced under the applause of the Chaudron by the young N'GUESSAN, 16 years old.
