"Nice: no greening before the final sprint in Ligue 1"

As the last straight line of the Ligue 1 season approaches, the Nice GOC does not plan a green setting. This decision is taken by Jonathan Clauss, who believes that the group is sufficiently prepared to tackle the final days of the championship without resorting to this type of mechanism, unlike the OM who left in Rome. While several Ligue 1 clubs such as the Olympique de Marseille, in Rome, or the RC Strasbourg, passed through Cannes, have opted for greening, Nice retains its habits. When asked at a press conference, Jonathan Clauss expressed his confidence in the current management of the group by the staff: “We don’t need to do this kind of thing, I think.” The right side, a former OM player, has also shown its appreciation for his coach Franck Haise: “The coach knows where he wants to go, I think he takes his band very well, especially in recent times when we have been in a difficult phase. He didn’t shoot anyone, on the contrary. He was able to find the words just to remobilize everyone and pull us up. Especially for this final sprint.” Prior to the start of the 31st day of Ligue 1, the OGC Nice took 5th place in the standings with 51 points, three lengths from the podium and two points from 4th place, synonymous with qualifying in the Champions League. OL and RC Strasbourg also have 51 points, but have a lower goal difference than the Niรงois. The Nice calendar offers a difficult first stage with a trip to Parc des Princes to face Paris Saint-Germain this Friday. Then there will be three decisive meetings: Reims at home, Rennes outside and Brest at the Allianz Riviera. In a tight context at the top of the table, the internal management of the group and the confidence expressed by executives like Clauss will be key elements for the end of the Nice season.
