AJA on time
Promoted to Ligue 1 McDonald’s at the end of a successful season, mastered and concluded with a French Champion title that no team will have contested, the Auxerrois are slow, just like the Greens, to materialize, upstairs at above, these promises. Very legitimately given the gap which continues to widen between the elite of French football and its antechamber. However, thanks to two successes obtained in added time at the expense of OGC Nice (2-1) and against Brest (3-0), the Icaunais, not very active this summer on the transfer market, and having had the misfortune of quickly losing to injury Lasso Coulibaly occupy, for the moment, an enviable twelfth place in line with their ambitions to maintain.
THE MAN TO FOLLOW: ELISHA OWUSU
Having positioned him at the top of his 5-man midfield, in support of his two attackers, Christophe Pelissier, the Icaunais coach, appreciated his XXL performance against Eric Roy’s Brest with absent subscribers. Performing well in recovery, showcasing his technical qualities, his positioning and his sense of anticipation, the Ghanaian international, who passed through La Gantoise, stole twelve balls and signed four interceptions. In addition, he broke the deadlock in the match by opening the score then became the decisive passer for Burgundy’s third goal, definitively sealing the fate of a one-sided match. A top performance.
THE NUMBER: 3
Before signing a first clean sheet against Brest and scoring three goals (3-0), the Auxerres had conceded three times in a row on… three occasions. In Le Havre (3-1) and Montpellier (3-2), at home against an irresistible Monegasque armada (0-3). The Brazilian Jubal, boss until then of an overly permissive defense, set an example and effectively tightened the bolts against the Bretons.
