Who will win the war in the final L1 ranking?

This is 20 minutes exclusive info . There will finally be a season 9 of Game of Thrones. We can even tell you that it will start on Thursday at 6 rue Léo-Delibes, the headquarters of the Professional Football League. A priori not too much room to let in a dragon, but the one who spits the most fire will not be there, it is not in any case not part of the LFP's Board of Directors. That leaves a good month for Jean-Michel Aulas to intoxicate the competition and try to find a small European jump seat at OL at the finish.

But the general of the Lyons infantry is not the only one to prepare his pawns before the big battle of mid-May, when the GA of the League will give its verdict on the final classification of the L1, which must be transmitted at UEFA before 25 May. That day will be Waterloo and Austerlitz at the same time, according to the prospect. Namely, standings fixed on the 27th day, on the 28th day, or on the quotient according to the number of matches played to integrate the late match between Strasbourg or PSG, for the most obvious solutions.

The state of play of the forces present? A monster mess, since everyone plays the flute tune that suits him, apart from those who remain stashed at the bottom of their cave for fear of letting slip the nest egg (we think of you Rennais and Marseillais, even as seen l state of OM finances, not sure that Jacques-Henri Eyraud does not sleep every night like a baby). We recap anyway, for the pleasure of laughing.

"The Lyon version, finally the last

After trying the white season, the black season, the red season, the rainbow season, JMA, whose persistence must be recognized, was not discouraged by the announcements of Edouard Philippe. The Lyonnais president pleads for playoffs in August in order to hang up the European wagon in extremis. Otherwise, Aulas will rank behind the majority opinion, if the opinion in question allows OL to travel a little next season. Otherwise see you in court, no worries.

»The Lille version, uninhibited

We welcome the startling entry in this classification of Gérard Lopez, hitherto very discreet. We thought the northern boss happy with his 4th place, but you think. Gégé took out the biggest cannon of his navy in the Team . Hang on to the rail, it blows:

“The gel doesn't suit me any more than the white season suits others. It does not take enough account of who played against whom, at home or away, and at what time of the season. For example: Paris SG has taken more than 2.5 points per game this season; we, the LOSC, have played twice against Paris this season (two defeats), while Rennes, which distances us by one point in the Championship, has only played it once. Is it fair? Is it fair that a team like ours be judged at two thirds on its first leg, when we know it well, the teams which play the Champions League, as we have been, are much more in difficulty in the Championship on the outward phase due to the overload of the calendar, than in the return phase. And then there is the number of games played outside and at home, you need a balance to have a fair account. There are perhaps other solutions: we can imagine a calculation model, more scientific, in which we would simulate the results of the last ten days, according to the points taken at home or away, to obtain a ranking on 38 days ”.

»The version of Réoise, sure of its right

The Champagne club, currently fifth, could retort Gérard Lopez that it is on its side rather disadvantaged not to have played PSG and OM more often. David Guion's team won outside against the first two. In short, we get lost. Asked by France Bleu , Jean-Pierre Caillot does not see why he would not see the Europa League next season.

“I am president of the Stade de Reims, and I will fight to make the calculation method the fairest and in view of our season, we were 5th at the 19th day, we are 5th at the 28th day. Today, in all objectivity even if it suits me to think like that, it seems to me that the coefficient points / match, as it was applied by the French Football Federation for all amateur clubs (1), must also apply to the Professional Football League, but it will be another fight, another discussion. And I would be the happiest of men if we replayed a European Cup, 57 years later. But considering the season we have had, the quality of our championship, it would have been even better if we could have returned there by making the 38 games because sincerely, even if we don't talk about it a lot, we think about it all the time: this group had such a quality - I recall that we beat all the big guys in this championship - that to qualify for Europe on the field on 38 match, that would have been the right result of the work of the whole club "

»The Toulouse version, maturing

President of the worst team of the season, red lantern promised to tar and feathers of the L2 even playing 40 more games, Olivier Sadran has risen to the top of the Team , in appearance. " Each day has enough trouble of its. And we must admit that we did not show much quality during the season. For the moment, this is not a subject for me. We will have noted the "for now", which suggests a last minute attempt to find a point of settlement on page 345 of appendix n ° 8, which says that well, Toulouse may perhaps stay in L1 if you close your eyes by scratching your right ear for exactly 31 seconds, like the department number of Haute-Garonne. Recall that Jean-François Soucasse, Toulouse CEO, defended in vain the idea of ​​a white season the other day in a working group, even if he denied the humiliation at 20 minutes .

»The versions we don't know yet

We are impatient to know (at random) what Amiens thinks, the second team to follow Toulouse in the cart of the condemned while the Nîmes sail only four points ahead. The Picard club did not respond to our requests, but Bernard Joanin, the boss, has a good excuse. He is one of the members of the board of directors of the LFP, so he can express his point of view firsthand. Perhaps he will approach the air of nothing the Dutch example, where the League has chosen to freeze the ups and downs, at the risk of plunging its legal director in depression in view of the remedies in preparation on the part of those who feel cheated? In which case, Loïc Féry, president of Lorient on the (auto) route for the L1 and also a member of the board, can tell him his way of thinking through a screen.

This promises us long hours of heated discussions and more or less dismaying lobbying in the media in the days to come. Especially since all of this will take place under the high patronage of Noël Le Graët, who broke down a concrete wall just with the look Tuesday in the columns of the Telegram  : "The last full day is the one that will count for the teams European, except if the Coupe de France, which has priority, can be played, and if Saint-Etienne wins ”. […] The league has a delegation of power from the federation, which is responsible for applying the texts, which it does. But it is the federation that decides in the last resort ”.

A sermon not at all interventionist which certainly delighted Nathalie Boy de la Tour, the president of the LFP. However, if Le Graët is right on the merits, since it is the Fed who issues the UEFA license essential to clubs qualified for the European Cup, the FFF has not frankly set an example on football amateur, by plotting calculations impossible to lead to flagrant injustices.

And then, finally, there is always a guy above who can shout louder and undo everything. Here, Alexander Ceferin, the president of UEFA, who made it clear that he would personally ensure that the decisions of the National Leagues correspond to a certain “sporting merit”, and do not cause a “public feeling of injustice” . Ligue 1 des bureaux> Ligue 1 des terrains, as the old-fashioned say on Twitter.
