Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Racing is still marking time. Already beaten by Saint-Étienne (0-2) then Monaco (1-3) during its last two outings, Strasbourg suffered a third consecutive loss against OGC Nice this Sunday, November 24, at the end of the 12th day of the League 1 (1-2). However, the Alsatian club seemed to have done the most at the Allianz Riviera, opening the scoring through Dilane Bakwa (19th). But Melvin Bard (54th) and an own goal from the unfortunate Abakar Sylla (62nd) turned everything around. His coach, Liam Rosenior, regretted that his team had “shot themselves in the foot” against the Aiglons. But this setback could well be explained by a glaring lack of experience on the part of the young Strasbourg guard. And for good reason! As noted by OptaJean, the English technician has lined up on the Côte d'Azur the youngest starting eleven (21 years and 184 days) in the French football elite over the last 75 years!
To summarize
Beaten by OGC Nice this Sunday evening at the end of the 12th day of Ligue 1, RC Strasbourg nevertheless made championship history at the Allianz Riviera.
