Thursday evening, OGC Nice lost at the Allianz Riviera against Friborg (1-3), during the fourth day of the Europa League. The Aiglons are in 35th place in the general competition rankings, penultimate.
This is the sixteenth match without a victory in the European Cup for the Riviera club. To find the trace of his last success, we have to go back to March 16, 2023. It was against Sheriff Tiraspol (3-1), during the round of 16 of the Europa Conference League.
Certainly, OGC Nice’s opponents in the Europa League this season are formidable teams. Indeed, Melvin Bard and his teammates successively lost to AS Roma (2-1), Fenerbahçe (2-1), Celta Vigo (2-1) and Friborg. However, a few months earlier, they had not been able to win against less prestigious teams, like Ferencvaros (1-0), Elfsborg (1-0), Twente (2-2) or even Bodo Glimt (1-1).
Franck Haise in history, for the wrong reasons
“I’m fed up with losing matches, cursed Franck Haise last night, after his men’s new setback on the European scene. We are not at the level in the European Cup. I’ve been talking about high standards since I’ve been here, the daily work, not falling as soon as there’s a duel… Many players fall as soon as there’s a duel! It’s the same in training. Stop falling! »
The specialized account Statsdufoot also specifies that the 54-year-old technician is the coach who has played the most matches in the Europa League without his team ever winning (four draws and ten defeats). The Aiglons’ next opponent in this competition: FC Porto, on November 27, at the Dragon stadium.
