Last Saturday, OGC Nice earned a fortunate draw against a determined Dijon team (1-1). However, this result is not enough. Evidence of this: President Jean-Pierre Rivère was not impressed by the performance put on by the players. This weekend in Caen, Les Aiglons will have to change their mindset in order to hope to take off.
If OGC Nice wants to distance itself from the relegation zone, it has no choice: it must win at Caen, on Saturday.
President Rivère breaks the silence
However, to do so, Éric Roy’s players will need to change their mindset. But since the beginning of the season, that has been the Nice problem.
On Monday, President Jean-Pierre Rivère showed his teeth in the columns of Nice-Matin: “On Saturday, I felt anger. The positive point was the players’ reaction to seek the equalizer. But we cannot be satisfied with that. It is urgent to react.”
Caen inspires fear
That said, playing against Caen this season is not straightforward. The Lyonnais can attest to this, as they lost to the Normans (1-0) in a non-performance during the 7th matchday.
If Franck Dumas’s team is in eighth place in the Ligue 1 standings, it is not by chance. Malherbe inspires fear.
Éric Roy’s players will need to show character on the pitch at the Michel-d’Ornano Stadium on Saturday (7 PM). Otherwise, there might be internal rumblings.
