GK, Benoît Costil (Bordeaux) – PSG’s Keylor Navas was central to his side’s comeback at Troyes but Costil made four excellent stops, including one superb reflex save with his elbow from a defected shot, to avoid a rout by visiting Clermont.

FB, Fabien Centonze (Metz) – Always quietly impressive in Ligue 1 for Metz and posted arguably his best display yet with a dynamic performance on the right flank pushing forward to great effect, scoring twice, and remaining solid defensively. At just 25, it’s a surprise bigger clubs haven’t taken more of an interest.

CB, Ismaël Traoré (Angers) – The Angers captain has looked to be aging for a couple of seasons now but he continually fights back and puts in performances like this to help Le SCO to a surprise 2-0 win at Strasbourg, scoring the first himself.

CB, Nicolas Pallois (Nantes) – Pallois posted a typically rugged and bullish display as Nantes held off the much-fancied Monaco in the season’s opening game to escape the principality with a point (1-1).

FB, Achraf Hakimi (PSG) – As expected, Hakimi marauded up and down his flank as PSG overcame a scare in falling behind at promoted Troyes on Saturday. The Moroccan’s bulldozing burst and empathetic finish equalised for PSG.

CM, Ander Herrera (PSG) – A little underrated at PSG overall and rarely in the spotlight but is the perfect understudy for games like this, driving play from midfield and helping a sluggish PSG avoid an embarrassing start at the Ligue 2 champions.

CM, Renato Sanches (Lille) – Although Metz were down to 10 men as Lille came from 3-1 down to draw at Metz, Sanches was a real driving force behind Les Dogues revival and grew into the game having started on the flank before moving inside. A promising display given how his form trailed off last season.

AM, Dimitri Payet (Marseille) – A classic Payet performance as Marseille beat Montpellier 3-2. The 34-year-old was lucky to see his free kick skip through the wall for 2-2 but his chest-out, almost arrogant run and side foot finish to win the game was superb, as were some lovely touches around the area besides.

WF, Cengiz Ünder (Marseille) – Played with skill and intensity as OM came from behind to beat Montpellier 3-2 on Sunday night. Not everything came off for him but had his full-back reeling for long spells and nipped in to tap home Marseille’s first.

WF, Kamaldeen Sulemana (Rennes) – The new signing posted a thrilling first half display in Rennes’ 1-1 draw with Lens that included a sumptuous curling effort to open the scoring. The Ghanaian faded a little after half time and was subbed but the prospect of him working in tandem with Jérémy Doku on the opposite flank is mouthwatering.

ST, Mohamed Bayo (Clermont) – Showed some intelligent movement and was a constant threat in promoted Clermont’s 2-0 win at Bordeaux and might have had more than the one but it was a crucial one – an 82th minute deadlock breaker.

Lyon-based outlet Le Progrès report that defender Marcelo’s demotion to the Lyon reserve team and imminent contract termination are down to an altercation with winger Maxwel Cornet.

After the 3-0 loss to Angers at the weekend, there had reportedly been heated arguments between the players in the dressing room. In particular, an altercation took place between Marcelo and Cornet where the centre-back had criticised the Ivorian for his sending off – Le Progrès add that these reports have not been confirmed by the club itself.

This would consitute the “inappropriate conduct” Lyon mentioned in yesterday’s statement announcing Marcelo’s removal from first-team training. 

Marcelo has also been the main focus of criticism following his performances in the first two games of the season, where the 34-year-old has looked off the pace despite being one of last year’s key performers and renewing his contract in March. With new manager Peter Bosz looking to play a high line in defence, Marcelo’s lack of pace appears to be an issue, beyond the apparent attitude issues.

With PSG desperate to make player sales to cover a sizeable deficit in their finances and to perhaps fund further signings this summer, midfielder Rafinha could, surprisingly, be allowed to leave on a loan deal report Canal Supporters and Sky Italia.

Serie A is reported as the Brazilian’s most likely destination with the player keen for playing time, something which has dried up under Mauricio Pochettino after the 28-year-old was used far more liberally by former coach Thomas Tuchel, often to good effect.

Clubs from other leagues could yet join the race say CS as PSG would consider covering part of the player’s salary should he be loaned for the season. The former Barcelona, Inter Milan and Celta Vigo man’s contract runs until 2023.

Ligue 1 side Lorient are in advanced negotiations with Swiss outfit and INEOS-owned club Lausanne Sport about the possible signing of 22-year-old German central defender Moritz Jenz, according to L’Équipe.

Under contract until June 2023, FCL have been looking for a central defender all window, having lost Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea) and Andreaw Gravillon (Inter Milan) when their loan spells came to an end.

Jenz came originally from English side Fulham.

Les Merlus will be without Jérémy Morel and Loris Mouyokolo for the foreseeable future in this position owing to injury.

RMC Sport report that a major European club, via intermediaries, has been attempting to court Angers Sporting Director Sebastien Larcier.

The aim of this has been to get a sense of where Larcier’s head is at in terms of if he could be interested in leaving.

Larcier, who has been in his post since April 2020 after leaving Dijon for Le SCO, has rebuffed their advances.

Speaking in an interview with TYC Sports, PSG attacker Angel di Maria discussed his experience with Jorge Sampaoli when the Marseille boss managed Argentina.

“I do not know what I can tell you, but the truth is that it started very well and it ended very badly. He treated me like I was one of the best, and after a single match, he put me on the bench, threw me aside like nothing had ever happened, without explanation… He is a very strange guy. It started well with everyone and it finished badly with everyone.”

PSG play Marseille in the 24th October weekend.

L’Équipe report this afternoon that UEFA have reached an agreement with the Scottish authorities that will allow their Brazilian internationals – Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá – to travel to Scotland for their Europa League tie against Rangers.

The pair had been on international duty with Brazil last week, and would have otherwise had to quarantine for 10 days on their arrival in Scotland, having been in a country on the UK government’s Red List.

Lyon will fly out to Scotland in their private plane and will stay in a hotel entirely reserved by the club.

Xherdan Shaqiri, however, will not be travelling to Glasgow, as he is yet to be fully vaccinated. The newly-arrived Swiss international had received his first dose on arriving at Lyon at the end of August.

 

 

Foot Mercato report tonight that although French midfielder Clément Grenier remains a free agent, the former Lyon and Rennes man is in talks with various clubs in Europe and attracted interest from the MLS.

The 30-year-old left Brittany at the end of last season after a three-year spell, which included a Coupe de France victory in 2019. Grenier is now training individually with a private coach twice a day, as he waits for a “serious project” to come.

The midfielder was sounded out by numerous clubs over the summer and in the last few days, although no concrete moves came about.

According to a source close to Grenier contacted by Foot Mercato, he remains in discussions with numerous clubs in Europe, notably in Spain and Italy, but no significant advances have been made.

Interest has also arrived from a club in Qatar, while several MLS clubs could sign him as a Designated Player in January. Contacts have also taken place with Ligue 1 clubs, but are not moving along quickly – Grenier is instead looking for discussions to advance for a move abroad. The former French international is set to be looking for a “real project”, rather than looking for the highest salary.

Speaking to Prime Video in the aftermath of his team’s 1-1 draw against Lorient last night, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas lamented the refereeing decisions which, in his eyes, cost his side points in their last two matches.

Referring to the decision to send off Emerson after 15 minutes, leading to the free-kick from which the Brittany side opened the scoring, Aulas pointed the finger at the official and the non-use of VAR.

As for the game against Paris Saint-Germain, he highlights the decision to award Neymar a penalty which allowed Les Parisiens’ equaliser, despite replays showing the Brazilian had pulled down defender Malo Gusto along with him. OL would go on to lose the match 2-1 after a late Mauro Icardi winner.

“I dreamt of a match on equal terms. A bit like in Paris, strangely we’re not disappointed by the result but rather the quality of the refereeing and what VAR hasn’t done. As a director I am immensely disappointed as VAR is not bringing to the table what it should. A referee can make mistakes, especially when he is young and lacking experience [Bastien Dechepy, last night’s referee, is 35], but there are things at stake which can’t be ignored. Nobody from the refereeing committee has spoken about the monstrous error [to award Neymar the penalty]. We’ve just lost five points on refereeing decisions.”

In an documentary produced by DAZN about Neymar, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder notably reflects on the injury he suffered at the 2014 World Cup, which he points out as “one of the worst moments of my career”. 

The production also sees the Brazilian international state that the 2022 World Cup would likely be his last as a result of the mental toll that football has and will have taken on him at that point, as he reaches 30.

“It was one of the worst moments of my career. It destroyed my dream to keep playing in the World Cup. When I felt that pain in my back, I remember that Marcelo wanted to help me up, but I was really in pain. I then tried to move my legs, but I wasn’t able to. I didn’t have the strength to get up. I told them: ‘I can’t, I can’t, I can’t feel anything’.”

“The doctor told me, ‘I have good news and bad news’. I asked him to tell me the bad news first. He said, ‘your World Cup is over’. I started sobbing, and asked him, ‘and the good news?’ – he said: ‘you were two centimetres away from not being able to walk anymore’.”
