One shot on target, one goal ! FC Metz demonstrated, this Saturday, in Nice, a formidable efficiency. Thanks to a realization by Fabien Centonze, after half an hour of play, after an impeccable service from Nicolas de Préville, the club at the Croix de Lorraine, signed on the Côte d’Azur, his second success of the season in the league !
A courageous defense!
Mistreated against Bordeaux last Sunday (3-3), the Lorraine defense found in Nice, aggressiveness and consistency. The return of the Brazilian Jemerson, suspended against the Girondins, helped a lot! At a post-match press conference, Frédéric antonetti, the coach messin has ” praised the state of mind and determination of its players “!
A very solid defense, a keeper who made the stops and exits when needed. In the first division, you have to get out of your way. From Paris there is another state of mind, sometimes irregular, But tonight everyone was very good and football rewards good spirits. Frédéric antonetti
Nicolas de Préville, a blessing
Decisive passer at the Allianz Riviera, Nicolas de Préville made an almost perfect copy: very valuable on the technical level, the former striker of the Girondins de Bordeaux, also obtained faults. His malice and his game intelligence made us forget Farid Boulaya, who was suspended for this trip to Nice.
I hope they understood that it takes a lot of determination and fighting spirit to win a match. It’s hard to win. Especially for clubs like us against clubs like Nice. The Nice replacements are a few million euros. Mine is a few thousand euros as Julien Cazarre would say (laughs). Frédéric antonetti
Garnets are similar to other poorly classified
Thanks to this success in Nice, which some may qualify as unexpected, FC Metz (12 points on the clock) returns to the level of AS Saint Etienne, the penultimate of Ligue 1, and who plays this Sunday against PSG.
Unbeaten for four games, the club at the Cross of Lorraine is only one point away from Clermont, Troyes, Bordeaux and Reims, which are playing this Sunday.
FC Metz have two new important meetings this week: the Garnets will host Montpellier, this Wednesday and they will move to Monaco, next Sunday.
