– The Strasbourg coach Julien Stephan : “We had an exceptional 30 minutes, the best without doubt since the start of the season, with a team game of great quality. We said to ourselves that we had perhaps missed the boat not to lead with more We used the ball less well in the second half. We defended well. We managed to be clinical and opportunistic. It’s a very good performance to do that in Nice, in a week to three games. C ‘is good, it continues to progress. There is ambition in the game, in the behavior of the team as well. These are good signals “.
– The defender of Racing Frédéric guilbert : “We are happy, we went for a victory and not a small victory. We wanted to look for them directly, we quickly led to the score. In the second half, it was more complicated, we rounded back and attacked when needed. At the moment, we put the goals, it’s fun, we savor. We know that there will be less beautiful days. Every week, it’s a new challenge and we will see where it leads us We are just the Racing Club de Strasbourg, we work and when we have achieved our objectives, we will be able to look elsewhere “.
- THE ANALYSIS OF OUR CONSULTANT CLAUDE SPRENG:
Many Strasbourg residents still delivered a great match on the lawn of the Allianz Riviera. That of Habib Diallo is paradoxical. At the height of Strasbourg domination, he missed a duel against Nice goalkeeper Benitez, then video assistance logically canceled a penalty that he thought he had caused. A frustrating start for the Senegalese, before an end in apotheosis. While Racing suffered in the second period, it stung twice. He first inscribed a magnificent goal à la Madjer, by deflecting a strike from Jeanricner Bellegarde (82nd) with his heel. Then Habib Diallo offered on a plateau the third goal to Adrien Thomasson (84th).
Strasbourg scored 34 goals in 17 Ligue 1 games, an average of two per game. His best total in over 50 years and the 1969-1970 season (source Opta).
