Victorious against Ajaccio (3-0), after a thunderous end to the match, OGC Nice discreetly savors its first win in Ligue 1. However, Eric Roy’s men must remain grounded.
On Wednesday, the trip to Paris (7th day of Ligue 1) promises to be difficult: PSG is on a streak of five matches without a loss in the championship.
Thanks to their Argentine defenders, Renato Civelli and Fabian Monzon, OGC Nice dispatched Ajaccio on Saturday (3-0).
Being outnumbered for the entire second half, the Ajaccio players resisted for a long time before crumbling in the money-time.
This first victory can be savored by Nice as it allows them to leave the danger zone, while OM, defeated by Lyon (2-0), plunges into it.
Watch out in Paris!
However, the Nice team cannot afford to succumb to euphoria! On Wednesday, the schedule demands that the Gym make a long trip to the capital to face Paris Saint-Germain.
Having entered a new era thanks to the funds from Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), the capital club wants to win everything. The proof: the Parisians are on an impressive streak of eight matches unbeaten in all competitions!
More than Nenรช, Gameiro, and Mรฉnez, the Nice team will especially need to be wary of Javier Pastore. The Argentine, worth 42 million euros, scored at Evian on Sunday (2-2) and is off to a flying start, already winning over his supporters.
To avoid returning from Paris with a heavy defeat, the current 15th in the championship knows what needs to be done.
