OGC Nice striker Kasper Dolberg's specialty: change of pace. - Valéry Hache / AFP

  • The OGC Nice stopped the OL invincibility series in 2020 by winning by two goals to one.
  • A meeting marked by the expulsion of Lyonnais Marçal at the 22nd and the Niçois Ounas at the 45th.
  • Kasper Dolberg scored twice and brings his goal counter to eight goals.

Kasper Dolberg is a master in the art of gushing. One second, the defender sees it. The next second, he's already gone behind his back. And bang, goal.

This Sunday, the Lyonnais have paid the price for the flashes of the center of Nice twice. A first time in the 33rd on a strike from Lees-Melou repelled by the Lyon goalkeeper Tatarusanu. A second time in the 63rd on a powerful center in Boudaoui that Dolberg cut at the far post.

A world class attacker

This double from the Dane allowed the revengeful Nice to win 2-1 against OL. A performance that did not surprise his coach Patrick Vieira: “Kasper is an international player. We see it in its oriented controls, in its movements. On centers, he always manages to pass in front of the defender. "

Author of eight goals, the 22-year-old forward is among the top 10 top scorers in Ligue 1.

Effective offensively, Kasper Dolberg is not stingy with effort during the defensive withdrawal. “Once again, we saw his work. He is someone who is very generous in the field, ”comments Patrick Vieira.

A mirror of OGC Nice's performance

Ghostly when his teammates are struggling, goal scorer when they are impactful, Kasper Dolberg is an indicator of the performance of his team. And a leader who doesn't need words to lead the way. “I am not someone who spends his time shouting. Not at all. It's about finding a way to help my teammates and to help the team. I try to do everything in my power to bring my stone to the building. It doesn't matter how, "he said Tuesday, before OL's double reception.

Replaced in the 87th by Ganago, Kasper Dolberg received a standing ovation from the 23,553 spectators present.

At the end of the meeting, the Danish international communicated with the supporters by climbing alone on the stage of the Ultras Populaire Sud (security still has cold sweats). What to become the new darling of Nice supporters: "Kasper Dolberg, Kasper Dolberg, Kasper, Kasper, Kasper Dolberg! "
