Benjamin Bouchouari was hit on his back in an ASSE game, which could prevent him from finishing the season with his team. This injury is compensated by the solid performances of Florian Tardieu and Aimen Moueffek against Olympique Lyonnais. During this meeting, Florian Tardieu delivered a convincing performance at the heart of the Stéphanois game. Aligned from the beginning of the game, the defensive medium was one of the engines of recovery with 84 balloons affected, 3 successful passes out of 64 attempted (83%) and almost 13 km travelled! He was able to dictate the tempo while bringing a minimum of verticality. Defensively, the former Trojan was able to meet the physical challenge. A very solid performance for the former Trojan who confirms that he can be relied on.

Aimen Moueffek, for his part, perfectly fulfilled his role in this meeting. Precious to recovery and transition, it was applied in the ball circulation. The Vienna native showed his best face in front of OL. A face we’ll have to see again in the coming weeks. The Moroccan will finally have to take off a season where he has disappointed. Redemption to come?

In the course of the game, Louis Mouton also seized his chance, bringing freshness and mobility in the intergame. Without statistically shining, it kept the intensity in the dry cleaning and field coverage, demonstrating once again that it can be a credible option for Eirik Horneland.

While Benjamin Bouchouari’s injury remains a technical and creative blow, the combined performances of Tardieu, Moueffek and Mouton allow Horneland to approach the end of the season with confidence. The collective balance remains intact, and internal solutions seem sufficient to fill the young Moroccan’s absence. However, it must be confirmed over time!
