The inexhaustible Biancone, the good entry of Gouiri or the disappointment of the duo Dolberg-Delort: find the Tops and Flops of the editorial staff at the end of the meeting between Troyes and Nice (1-0).
Tops
Baked and milled biancone
It is surely the man of the match who was played at the Aube stadium this Sunday afternoon. Giulian Biancone started as a right piston in the 3-4-3 of ESTAC, before switching to the left piston after half-time to adapt to the entry of Issa Kaboré. The Trojan will have been everywhere, literally and figuratively. Decisive passer with a low cross for the only goal signed by Mama Baldé (4th). He put it back but was offside on the goal logically refused to Touzghar after a counter-attack (39th). Would have scored without a rescue from Kamara (17th) that he muzzled in the first period. In attack as in defense, Biancone dominated the debates.
Troyes recited his score
Cut off the head of the snake. In the first 20 minutes, Nice found no answer to the pressing of Laurent Batlles’ men and rarely crossed the center line. But impossible to keep this rhythm on the entire meeting. So the Trojans backed off, and they liked it. Jimmy Giraudon has accumulated 8 clearances (9 for the rest of his teammates). Adil Rami, who made his debut by compensating for the injury of Oualid El-Hajjam (27th), was flawless. ESTAC remained dangerous on the counter-attack and, with a coherent 3-4-3 in its defensive animation, never trembled except on the accelerations of Amine Gouiri.

Gouiri nevertheless tried
Two minutes. This is the time it took Amine Gouiri to transplant in the axis and arm a right strike at 20 meters, pushed back by Gauthier Gallon (58th). On a deviation from Kasper Dolberg, he found himself in a better position in the area on the left but his shot lacked conviction (60th). His presence between the lines shook the Trojan defense, but he was unable to get on better with Delort and Dolberg.
Flops
Dolberg-Delort, pair to review
They started together for the first time this season, and they were disappointing. Andy Delort played 90 minutes, including zero as a threat to the Trojan defense. Only touched two balls in the area, including a vague deflection of the head on a corner (20th). Unable to connect with Amine Gouiri, yet very leggy on his entrance. Kasper Dolberg, out in the 72nd minute, was more honorable. Hit in the shoulder at the start of the match, he kept his place. A heavy distant strike which forced Gallon to a parade (41st). A nice discount for Gouiri who could not conclude (60th). But also a lack of promptness on an excellent situation in the area (71st).

Nice corridors broken down
Despite all his good will, Hassane Kamara fell on a bone in the first half called Giulian Biancone (see above). He ended up delivering a good center for Dolberg who failed to grow it (71st). That’s about all he managed to bring in his left lane, where he never found the relay of Hichem Boudaoui, transparent just like Calvin Stengs on the right. We could expect better from the other side, Youcef Atal. But with 5 centers, only one of which was successful, the Algerian was not more precise than his partners.
