Coupe de France? What Coupe de France?
By: Martha | January 27th, 2009
Tragically, they’re facing the wrong direction. It was that sort of a game.
For once, I’m happy that there doesn’t seem to be any way to watch this match — the official site has wisely decided not to upload it, and I’ve not seen it anywhere else. When the atmosphere is being described as resembling that of a friendly and even Nice players are admitting they didn’t show up, you know things were really dire.
It sounds like Monaco absolutely dominate the match and, had their finishing been a little sharper, could easily have won by three or four, rather than waiting until the 85th minute to go ahead. The silver lining, obviously (well, apart from Adeilson making his first appearance for Nice, if four minutes count), is that Nice can now focus on the League and the CDL — now, they just need to make sure they win that semifinal in eight days, and all will be forgiven.
The only other news I’ve got today is that Nice have reportedly rejected a Panathinaikos offer of between €700,000 and €1,000,000 for Kanté and, according to Ricort, won’t sell him for even €5 million. At least, you know, not right now. He claims they’re planning to start talks on an extension “very soon” but, given the way Kanté was talking at the start of the season, I won’t be holding my breath for a new contract to result.

it was all part of Ricardo’s new strategy. since ASM can’t protect a lead to save its life, he has taught the strikers to miss all of their shots until the last 5 minutes.

I dunno, Richard, you could be selling him short. I mean, with clever tactics like that, maybe they won’t go down after all!
