OGC Nice has been attractive for several months this season and has had a run of 4 games without a win in Ligue 1 in recent weeks. Now 5th in the standings, the Aiglons are seriously moved by their coach Christophe Galtier.
Christophe Galtier couldn’t appreciate the face of his team.
How to explain the unexpected failure of OGC Nice? The Gym, which has been particularly attractive for several months this season, has established itself as a very serious contender for the podium in Ligue 1.
Without completely dropping out of this race, the Aiglons have experienced a major drop in speed in recent weeks.
Galtier shakes his tourists †
Because since the success against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0) on March 5, Nice has played 4 games in a row without knowing the victory with a huge disappointment on the lawn of Lens (0-3) on Sunday. But in numerical superiority after the expulsion of Massadio Hadara (17th), the Azurens completely thwarted the return from the locker room with two goals quickly against and a red card collected by Mario Lemina (57th), ahead of Dante (90+1) to the end of the game. Furious with the faces of his players, Niois coach Christophe Galtier didn’t mince his words during a press conference. I think during the break I was very specific about what to add to our first period. Either I expressed myself badly, or I was not listened to or I was not listened to, and we broke up completely.he fustig, before continuing.
Nice played a Lens team with real competitors; Lens played a team from Nice where people came as tourists. I saw that in the second half. It’s hard to accept. It is even unacceptable. To tell you what goes on in the minds of certain players, I don’t know. But it should bring us much more humility because if you don’t respect the game and the balance you will be sanctioned, lamented the former Lille coach. Always the best defense in L1, Nice shows difficulties in the game, the image of a broken attacking sector (2 goals in 4 games) with the symbol Amine Gouiri (mute in L1 since January 23, ie 9 games).
OM and Rennes take off…
With this defeat, Nice takes a serious blow in the standings. Now relegated to 5th place, the Gym is 5 points behind Rennes, 3rd and 8th behind Marseille, 2nd. A gap that starts to get significant 7 days after the end of the season… We had come here to stay with the lead car. There we unhooked the car completely. The cars went quite far ahead. I dare to hope we don’t throw away the 8 months we’ve had. It would be both unfortunate and disrespectful to let yourself go this way.warned Galtier, before the final sprint.
Worried about the end of the season? It’s not a fear, it’s an observation. It’s the truth. I look at the games we’ve been playing for a while. Either we are absent in the first period and react behind schedule, or we are present during the first period and let go completely when we come back from the dressing room. It’s not to worry, it’s an observation that is difficult for a coach, very difficult, He’s ready. Nice dreamed of a place in the Champions League and a title in the Coupe de France (final against Nantes on May 7), but will have to wake up soon to avoid a nightmare…
