Clermont Foot – Marseille: Hamel, Rashani, Khaoui and Allevinah … a Clermont-Ferrand quartet neither unique nor well-established
To the question “Bayo or not in the starting 11 of Clermont Foot against OM? », Pascal Gastien had replied … Hamel. It was one of the possible options.
We expected less to the one associating, on the line of three, just behind him, Rashani on the left and Khaoui and Allevinah, instead of Berthomier and Dossou for the last two.

A lack of automatism that was felt …
A sad memory with the 0-6 but it was then also for all those who walked the lawn of Roazhon Park that evening.
This Sunday, despite a new defeat in the end (0-1), the overall copy of Clermont, with Iglesias, there, as eagerly awaited, replacing Gastien, suspended, had nothing to do with that made by the Auvergnats in Brittany, during the hour when the quartet was presented on the ground as after. But we have to admit that the expression lack of automatism has rarely been so relieved.
Pascal Gastien after Clermont Foot’s defeat against Marseille: “We deserved to come back to score in the second half”
Of course, there was this constant pressing carried out by Hamel even on Marseille goalkeeper Pau Lopez, for example, but it is in their relations that the pack has long hurt. Even if Hamel was put in position of shooting (far) after a good combination Rashani – Kkaoui (20th) before, after having forgotten it for the first time on this action, (“I saw it too late” recognized the Breton) of, this time, perfectly serve Allevinah deep on the right (22nd). To his credit, again, a skilful recovery for a good ball (45th) for a Rashani who, for his part, delivered a very dull performance, certainly with intentions but few successful percussions.
Khaoui, he was slow to find the right mix on set pieces, missing the first two (5th, 29th) before winding the third (41st).
But it is above all, and rather logically, in the animation of the game that the Tunisian was more saddened, both in his accuracy of passes and to be well found by his teammates … as he would have liked or as they thought it was their duty.
Objectively, on the great Clermont pressure put in at the start of the second half, we then often found Hamel and Khaoui, much more incisive, in most good situations.
An Allevinah remains
But without enough accuracy or confidence, perhaps like when Khaoui wanted to hand over to Hamel when he was in an excellent hitting situation (52nd).
All this made that after an hour, only Allevinah remained on the lawn with the joint entries of Bayo, Dossou and Berthomier, replacing Hamel, Rashani and Khaoui.
A stirring Allevinah who validated his happiness with a well wound shot but above in front of the surface (65th), after having combined well with Nsimba but above all with two opportunities in the surface, one cut by Guendouzi, the other stopped by Pau Lopez (67th). And continues in the wake with a sharp rise of the ball and, in depth, a first ball for Bayo (70th).
