TV consultant for Eurosport (he commented on the football tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games) and radio consultant on RMC (notably in After Foot), Lionel Charbonnier carefully follows the major matches on the program each week. The third goalkeeper of the 98 world champion French team did not at all appreciate the goal conceded by Brice Samba, the current number 2 of the Blues behind Mike Maignan, in the 89th minute of RC Lens’ defeat against OM (1-3), Saturday in Ligue 1 (12th day).

” Sorry !!! But this placement of Brice Samba (international) on this free kick!!!! 😰😰😰 ABNORMAL!!!!! »first launched the former AJ Auxerre player on his video assistant (Mr. Dechepy) and decided to cancel the Lensois goal due to a foul on a Marseille player at the start of the action in front of the northern surface. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg hit the open side and shook the net.

Coal: “CHILD’S FAULT”

It is not the placement of the Lensois wall, ordered by Samba, which is at fault, but rather the slightly advanced position of the gatekeeper passed by the Phocaeans. ” No !!! His placement is his!!!! By placing his wall he has a hand cage to guard!!! But its placement is horrible!!! If the shooter scores on the long side at this distance = MAGNIFICENT!!! If the goalkeeper takes the short side goal = CHILD’S FAULT »railed “Charbo”.

Before concluding: “By putting one more player in the wall, he further reduces the space on the short side that he must guard. On the other hand, it increases the wide side opening… Is that an option?! Especially if the free kick is close! But in this option, the hitter needs to use less force to get over the wall.” On this full-axis free kick one meter from the surface, the presence of left-hander Bilal Nadir in front of the ball.
