The former “Roc” of Monaco, currently under contract with Rodez Aveyron Foot, participated in the elimination of his ex-club, AS Monaco, at the Louis II stadium. In 32e in the final therefore, Aymen Abdennour scored the equalizing goal in the 80′ (2-2) before converting his team’s first shot on goal. Monaco goes by the wayside, Rodez is thrilled.
La Spezia on Kechrida
The right side of Atromitos (Greece), Wajdi Kechrida, has certainly been in the sights of some teams lately, but the ex-defender of Salernitana could quickly find Italy knowing that Spezia would have taken action for the recruiter. At 27, the former flying side of Etoile Sportive du Sahel is also coveted by Konyaspor in Turkey and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. Kechrida is under contract with his employer club until June 2024.
Khazri and Montpellier fall in Pau!
Big surprise in the Coupe de France. Montpellier bit the dust on the lawn of Pau. The Hérault players were thus beaten (2-1). In this match, Wahbi Khazri recorded his comeback as a holder, after returning to training in recent days.
Jelassi wears Al Masry
Ellyès Jelassi was particularly brilliant in Egypt during the match between Al Masry and Al Ittihad (2-1). The ex-Stadiste, Usémiste and “Blood and Gold” started by transforming a sentence before delivering a decisive pass. Third but on the Jelassi counter this season.
What about Aissa Laidouni?
Aïssa Laidouni, centerpiece of Ferencváros, has not been so courted in recent days because of the “appetite” deemed unfair by his employer club. Clearly, the Hungarian club demands 10 million euros to grant him his exit voucher, a request almost rejected by the Scots of Celtic Glasgow, even the Turks of Beşiktaş. Note that the commitment of Laidouni, former member of Angers and the Romanian club Voluntari, ends on June 30 while his current rating is around 4 million euros.
Who will pay the transfer fee for Skhiri?
As announced for months, Ellyès Skhiri does not stay at FC Cologne with which he is under contract until 2023. At 27, the lung of Team Tunisia could move to Borussia Dortmund, unless the BVB hesitates to to pay the 13 million euros transfer fee. The ex-Montpellier, who moved to Cologne in 2019, is therefore still “in transit” in recent days…

Talbi dominates Valery
Lorient defender Montassar Talbi won at Angers in a match where right-back Yann Valéry was unable to prevent his team’s defeat. Lorient dates back to the 5e League 1 spot.
Scorer Ben Ouannes
Mortadha Ben Ouannès won against Alanyaspor (4-1) after opening the scoring at 11′ by playing right winger. Except that a few days earlier, Kasimpasa lost to Besiktas (2-1) and Ben Ouannès played left back…. In turn, Umranyespor centre-forward, Adel Bettaïeb, only played the last 22 minutes against Hatayspor 2-2. Mutism all season long.
Sliti succeeds against Bguir
In the Saudi league, the member of El Ettifaq, Naïm Sliti, had the upper hand over his compatriot Saâd Bguir of Abha with the score of 2-1. The latter, which is credited with a score of 8.1 by observers, is not successful. He already missed a penalty the previous match and continues to eat his black bread, while Sliti seems far from his best level. Si Bguir played the whole game. Sliti came out at the 76e.
Mâaloul and Al Ahly provide
Left-back Ali Maâloul shines with Al Ahly, leader of the Egyptian championship, and emerges victorious at Enppi (0-2). Ezzamalek SC snatched a draw (1-1) against El Dakhleya.

The club is dolphin behind Al Ahly.
Msakni and Sassi shine

The left defensive midfielder, Ferjani Sassi, and Al Duhail remain dolphins following their final victory (3-0) against Gharrafa. Sassi went there from are but initial to the 31e minute and delivered a decisive pass in the 93e minute of play.
Nafti starts badly
Inducted coach of Wydad Casablanca, Mehdi Nafti, passed by Leganes and Levante in Spain, already knows the defeat. In his first game on the Wydadi bench, he lost at home to Chabab Mohammedia (1-2).
