  • RC Strasbourg won this Wednesday against AS Monaco in Ligue 1 (1-0).

  • This is a small achievement for the Alsatians, in difficulty this season and who faced a team in full flurry.

  • “At no time did I feel we were in danger,” savored Thierry Laurey, very enthusiastic after this success.

At the Meinau stadium,

This is not always the case this season: the Meinau public missed something on Wednesday!

Certainly the best victory for Racing since September, obtained against Monaco (1-0).

OK, there had only been 3 so far (against Dijon, Nîmes and Saint-Etienne).

But this one is really special!

First, because there is the opponent.

The Rocher players arrived in Alsace after 13 unbeaten matches, including eleven victories… One of the youngest teams in Ligue 1 was sent back to its dear studies by more biting and finally realistic Strasbourg residents.

Because there is therefore the way with this goal in additional time, almost at the last second, on a rush of more than 30 meters!

With an artist at the helm: Frédéric Guilbert.

The side loaned since the winter transfer window by Aston Villa had already made a very big game before his number.

Let him relate wonderfully: “I made the decision to go inside.

It opened and I saw that no one was coming at me.

Maybe they didn't trust my left foot, ”laughs the right-hander.

" I hit.

It smiled!

I think they made a mistake in not coming towards me and pulling me to the side.

"

Perhaps Nico Kovac and his players will discuss it this week in front of a table.

During this time, Racing fans will repeat this masterful rush in a loop, concluded with a winning cross shot.

A small masterpiece that concludes a convincing Alsatian performance.

It was not Thierry Laurey, in a good evening mood, who said the opposite.

"At no time did I feel we were in danger"

“Everyone has been in the frame of mind.

To lock out, you had to be smart and supportive.

We have been and we have been able to project ourselves too.

We were all together in the right place at the right time ”, relished the Strasbourg coach who had returned to a 3-5-2 system in the absence of Sissoko and Aholou, his usual pair in the middle.

As a result, his team was very compact and suffered very little from the game. Except for the first quarter of an hour.

“At no time did I feel we were in danger,” he confessed before letting go a little, he who often chooses his words, even flowery ones.

“It's enjoyable.

It sends.

This is what I want to see.

The three-way combination between Thomasson, Guilbert and Ajorque with a strike from Thomasson, when you're a coach, it's nice.

"

And that allows Racing to (finally?) See the end of the season more calmly.

With this success, the Alsatians go back to 14th place, now 8 points ahead of Nîmes, the current barrage.

“It's a good breath of fresh air,” admits Frédéric Guilbert.

But the boy is not the type to wait nicely in his hallway ... "With this state of mind, we can do beautiful things.

Much more than a maintenance.

»A nice final rush?
