TOPS
In the legs, the former Strasbourg player took care of his first in the Nice jersey in Ligue 1 with an overflowing desire and a constant presence. Throughout the game, he was effective defensively and offensively, especially in transition. Strong in duels, he caused one of the first situations in Nice (10th). He is the one who has run the most on the field. Sanson will do good in the middle of Nice during the season.
Scorer, Laborde will have improved his time on the pitch. Released very early by his coach (58th) like Khéphren Thuram, in particular because of his yellow card (taken in stoppage time in the first half), he opened his goal counter this season (19th) thanks to his superb dive in front Lucas Chevalier. Technically still fair, the former Rennais will try to do better this season than the 15 goals scored last season.
Even if there were not many positive signs or encouraging elements to take away from the match before the equalizer at the end of the game, Losc precisely had the merit of coming back to score by showing character. Diakité came to reward the best face of the second period in a match where Lille did not really reassure. Paulo Fonseca’s men were able to avoid a defeat which stretched their arms by being realistic.
FLOPS
The first at home had everything from the perfect evening until the 94th minute and in the end, Nice came out with the feeling of having lost two points. Very interesting during the first period, the Gym gradually faded away in the second. Knowing how to hold the score for a long time, the lack of aggressiveness in the air on legalization of Diakité is to be reviewed. No Nice player jumped to try to ward off the danger and Diakité sneaked in too easily to score. Francesco Farioli can rely on the positive but will have to guide his players so that they no longer leave points on the way.
Author of a superb season last year with Losc, Cabella did not start the new exercise in the best way, he who was at fault for the loss of the ball which led to the first goal of the season , from Laborde (19th). An avoidable and high ball loss that launched Thuram on the counterattack. Last year, Cabella made a similar mistake against Nice. Offensively he missed the opportunity to equalize (42nd) by losing his duel against Bulka.
Very interesting and author of five goals in preparation, the Icelander had a difficult start in Ligue 1. Warned in the 38th minute for a foul on Sanson, he did not create many chances, apart from one for Cabella (42nd ). Lots of empty calls, he was not served as much as he would have liked and too often played laterally or backwards instead of advancing the game. The former Copenhagen will have to do better against Nantes.
