If Goal! Football Club primarily deals with the news of certain elite teams, we have decided to give you a summary of what happened today in the other – less media-focused – part of France. soccer.
LOSC: Genesio ignites for a comeback against Rennes
If he is still deprived of six elements (Bentaleb, Umtiti, Mbappé, Gomes, T.Santos, Mukau) for this Sunday's match between his LOSC and Stade Rennais, Bruno Genesio still finds three elements… including the Icelandic nugget Hakon Haraldsson, absent for many weeks and who “validated all levels” to be in the group: “He will bring us his technique, his volume of play and his ability to make lots of deep runs. These are very important elements to take into account in high-level matches,” said the Mastiffs coach who now sees the end of the tunnel with his infirmary.
OGC Nice: Haise victim of the FIFA virus with the Gym
If things are better for LOSC, the international break has worsened the situation for OGC Nice where Franck Haise could have to do without three starters for the Strasbourg reception on Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Indeed, in addition to Morgan Sanson, Terem Moffi and Antoine Mendy, it is Ali Abdi (Tunisia), Jonathan Clauss (France) and Youssouf Ndayishimiye (Burundi) who returned with minor injuries. “All three of them will most likely be unavailable,” lamented Haise who “does not have everything under control” on the issue of injuries: “We know that it’s a very busy season. We are thinking about the protocols to put in place. On hydration, diet. We try to do the best we can.” On the other hand, Tanguy Ndombele and Mohamed Abdelmonem, who rested during the break, should be present.
AS Monaco – Stade Brestois: Hütter expects more but applauds Akliouche
If AS Monaco confirmed its return to form after a slight slump by dominating Stade Brestois (3-2), its coach Adi Hütter was not satisfied after the match. According to him, it will take a “better performance” to beat Benfica on Wednesday (9 p.m.) in the Champions League: “After scoring 2-0, we had a big chance to score the third before half-time, we didn't do it, and I didn't like it. Facing the ball, we didn't show enough commitment and we often chased the ball in the second half.” However, the Austrian still saw some good, notably with the XXL performance of Maghnes Akliouche (doubled) which he describes as “fantastic”. “He’s been at the international level for a while.”
Stade Brestois: Eric Roy broke down in Monaco
Excluded at 67th minute of the Monaco – Brest match (3-2) for protests, Eric Roy should automatically be suspended for at least one match. For his outburst, he will at least miss the Strasbourg reception next Saturday (7 p.m.). A second hard blow for the SB29 which lost Pierre Lees-Melou, left on Louis-II's crutches and probably forfeited the trip to Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
