After the defeat of Strasbourg on the field of Rayo Vallecano (1-0), a Racing player is particularly singled out.

Beaten 1-0 Thursday evening on the lawn of Rayo Vallecano, Strasbourg is in an unfavorable tie in its Conference League semi-final. But beyond the result, it is the content of the Alsatians’ match which is singled out. Particularly that of a particular player.

“The regret is Panichelli. Emegha, let him go, let him go to Chelsea! We can’t take it anymore”, said Gilbert Brisbois, historic supporter of the RCSA, on the air on RMC Thursday evening. “I wanted to see Nanasi tonight (the Swede entered in the 83rd, editor’s note). Nanasi as soon as he plays, he is good. I didn’t understand the choices. »

The observation is the same for Walid Acherchour. “Emegha is still the captain. It’s the guy with the big mouth, who explains to you that Strasbourg is bad without him. Tonight is a betrayal. There is no duel won. »

Strasbourg, the threat of a failed season

This is not what the Sofascore figures say (2 duels won out of 3, 3 aerial duels out of 4), but the Emegha match (2 shots, none on target) also exasperated Daniel Riolo. According to him, the future of Chelsea has “a crazy thing” And
“does nothing” on the ground.

More annoying, it is Strasbourg’s season which could go the wrong way if things go badly in the return match. “The Coupe de France match was dismal against Nice, recalls Riolo. This match is Strasbourg who loses, not Nice who wins. We put it under the carpet because you have the Conference League but if you don’t succeed against Rayo, the season will have been a huge waste. »
