MILAN AC
1 - 1
BOLOGNE
for Milan AC : Weah(7')
for Bologne : Nervo(55')
2 red cards for Milan AC, that is all you have to remember about this
game. George Weah
failing to score a penalty at the 94th minute. Maldini, due to
his red card will be missing
Milan for his next game.
FIORENTINA
1 - 4
NAPOLI
for Napoli : Ayala(11', 69'), Calderon(53', 85'),
for Fiorentina : Colacchione(59')
This game was a great one by Ayala. He almost did everything in th
napolitan team, scoring,
defending... Napoli after this great game will be the first leader
of this championship.
Batistuta, without scoring, and losing the game, was elected without
any good reason best
player of the game.
PARME
3 - 3
JUVENTUS
for Parma : Chiesa(11', 91'), Cannavaro(44')
for Juventus : Del Piero(24'), Zidane(50', 70')
That number of goals in a match is great ! Both teams should have won
but luck
stayed on both sides and if Zinedine Zidane did a great job, scoring
2 goals, the turinian
defense was really poor and Chiesa scored at the last minute allowing
a draw.
AS ROMA
1 - 3
SAMPDORIA
for Roma : Cesar Gomez(61')
for Sampdoria : Veron(24', 43'), Klinsmann(89')
This game was not really won by the Samp but instead lost by
the poor roman defense. They
afford 2 penalties to Klinsman who even missed one. Veron allowed us
a 2 goals due to his
great headgame. Sampdoria did a great result, and hopes to take the
lead next day.

GUINGAMP
5 - 3
MONACO
for Guingamp : Bancarel(13', 63'), Rouxel(27'), Tasfaout(49'), Corridon(92')
for Monaco : Djetou(34'), N'Doram(70'), Benarbia(73')
Both teams had made offensive choices at the beginning which allowed
us to see a great game
in Guingamp. The Roudourou was full of spectators. Bancarel did a great
job, scoring two goals
with only two balls in his feet. Monaco did his best to avoid taking
two much goals but
Barthez was not in a great day.
METZ
2 - 1
BORDEAUX
for Metz : Blanchart(22'), Lukic(57')
for Bordeaux : Jemmali(82')
Both teams were playing really agressive and we saw a lot of faults.
But the referee was really bad
and only gave a red card to Jemmali. Metz scored the first and it was
then impossible for Bordeaux to come back. At the end of the game, Jemmali
save the honour of Bordeaux with a goal.
NANTES
3 - 0
LYON
for Nantes : Ferri(34'), N'Diaye(72'), Carotti(85')
This game was not that easy for Nantes. Ferri scored the first goal
in this game at the 34th minute.
Then Nantes continued to push, Lyon did not get any action. But Lyon
succeeded in
defending until the 72th minute. Then everything was said. Nantes did
a very great game and merits
the fact to be the first leader of the league.
LENS
2 - 2
MARSEILLE
for Lens : Drobnjak(11', 44')
for Marseille : Makelele(18'), L.Blanc(65')
This game was very tied and the draw is a good result for both teams.
Drobnjak showed in only two occasions that he
was one of the best scorers in France. Marseille showed that they had
a lot of heart to come back to score twice in the game.
Rumors of Transfers
Some ambassadors from the FC Metz came to Auxerre yesterday to watch
the parisian player Leonardo. David Blondeau,
manager of the Paris-SG declared nothing has happened and Leonardo
will stay in Paris.
The FC Metz had also deep contacts with the Napoli. An exchange of players
might happen soon. Our spy told us it might be
Sbrizzo from Napoli and Kachloul from Metz.
The FC Metz, again, who seems very active at the beginning of this season,
seems really interested in the Glasgow Rangers
player Brian Laudrup. The transfer might happen very soon since the
offer is really great.
En Avant Guingamp who won his first match scoring 5 goals seems to be
interested in reinforcing his weakness : Attack !
The player form Corinthians Edmundo who recently did a try in Parma
seems to be the player they need. Some say the
transfer will happen in few days.
Inter Milan sent envoyees yesterday to try to engage the free goalkeeper
Bernard Lama.
They meet also envoyees from Guingamp who seem to want to sell there
offensive midfield Abdelhafid Tasfaout.
Interview : Jérémie Lefebvre, Manager of
Guingamp
Reporter : My question might be a little bit spying, but which tactic
did you choose to score so many goals ?
J. Lefebvre : No, I do not want to have secrets and in fact it is not
one. I played 4-3-3. The trick is that I tried to play
with no lateral midfields at all but two wing players. This was a little
bit dangerous since Monaco had a lot of actions, but hopefully Bancarel
was really successfull.
Reporter : You play your next game in Nantes, and ...
J. Lefebvre : Yes, and it will be very difficult, Nantes leads our
league and did a great game against Lyon. The problem is that they do not
have any key-player and danger comes from everywhere, as you can see with
the scorers of last game.
Reporter : And will you use the same tactic ?
J. Lefebvre : I wonder...
Reporter : Thanks !
