ADDITIONAL TIME Annecy – Nîmes Olympique under the microscope
Every day after a Nîmes Olympique match, Objectif Gard invites you to come back to the past meeting through several points.
analysis. Given the deplorable state of the lawn at the Parc des Sports, we weren’t expecting big football flights and we were right. However, the Hauts-Savoyards got on better than the Nîmes who abused the game for a long time and who encountered a lot of difficulty in keeping possession of the ball. Annecy’s domination did not prevent the Crocodiles from getting two big chances from Saïd at the start of the match and from a header from Pagis in the second half. But this is still insufficient to clinch a first away victory this season.
The Croco key: Benoit Poulain does good. The central defender returned to Annecy after missing the trip to Niort and remained on the bench against Guingamp. Undeniably, the captain reassured the Nîmes rearguard which, even tipped over, never cracked under the battering from the sides by Shamal on the left and Testud on the right. Benoit Poulain’s experience paid off and it’s no coincidence that Nîmes Olympique have never won a league game without him this season.

The declaration : “ It’s a nice birthday present. I am satisfied with the game and to have taken a point. What was important was not to lose. The week is positive. I can’t wait for us to be able to play a little better football, on better pitches. » Frédéric Bompard, the Nîmes coach who was celebrating his 60th birthday, was smiling at the end of the meeting. After discussing the two actions of his team, he showed that the results of the week (one point out of six possible) were positive. Then he once again alludes to the bad state of the lawn.
