French Ligue 1 special: Ligue 1 team of the week – Week 5
The week 5 of the 2011/2012 French Ligue 1 campaign saw some truly inspired performances by goalkeepers. Caen stalwart, Alexis Thebaux was in great form for his side but it was Benoit Costil who was in fine form for Stade Rennais as the Bretons put more
pressure on Olympique de Marseille coach Didier Deschamps.
Bettor.com takes a look at the best performers of the fifth week of the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 season.
Goalkeeper
Benoit Costil (Stade Rennais)
The 24-year-old custodian was in fine form as Stade Rennais beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 1-0 at the Stade Velodrome. Costil produced some truly great saves from Loic Remy and Andre-Pierre Gignac as Frederic Antonetti’s side continue their fine start to the
new campaign.
Defenders
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Garry-Bocaly-c14429 (Montpellier Herault)
The 23-year-old right-back is slowly becoming one of the hottest prospects in French football and was in the thick of things as Herault beat OGC Nice 1-0 at home. The youngster was solid in defence and provided an assist to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Camara-c8277 who scored the only goal
of the game.
Aldo Angoula (Evian TG)
The 30-year-old central defender was a pillar in the Evian TG defence as the newly-promoted side held Bordeaux to a 0-0 draw at the Stade Chaban Delmas. The experienced defender was strong in the air and his assured display meant that TG came away with a
crucial point that could prove valuable in the club’s quest for survival.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130)
The Croatian international has become an important part of the Lyon back four since the injury to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486. The youngster was once again an assured presence in the Les Gones backline. Lyon beat Dijon 2-1 away from home and Lovren’s display in the game confirmed
why he is regarded so highly among the Lyon hierarchy.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Sauget-c10597 (Sochaux)
The 31-year-old central defender was slotted in as a left-back but proved his versatility as he used all his experience to keep Lorient attacking force at bay as Sochaux held les Merlus to a 1-1 draw at home.
Midfielders
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Mavuba-c31174 (LOSC Lille)
The 27-year-old Lille midfielder was in great form for Les Dogues last season as he paired up with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423 to form a deadly midfield partnership. Following the departure of Cabaye to Newcastle United, the Frenchman was paired up with summer signing
Benoit Pedretti.
However, it seems that change in partner has not affected Mavuba’s performances at all. The Frenchman was in the thick of things once again as Lille beat a good Saint-Etienne side 3-1 at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 (Paris Saint-Germain)
Enough can’t be said about the young Argentine. Since his big-money move to Paris Saint-Germain, the 22-year-old has proven good for each and every single penny that PSG paid for him. Since his arrival, PSG have become a formidable foe for any side.
The young Argentine was once again in fine form as Les Parisiens defeated Stade Brestois 1-0 at the Parc des Princes. The game marked Pastore’s first goal for the Parisian side since his 42million Euros move from US Palermo.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 (Lille)
There’s a reason why so many clubs in Europe are hot on the heels of Belgian international Eden Hazard. The youngster has grown from strength to strength during his time at Lille. Once again, the young Belgian was in fine form and scored two goals as Lille
beat Saint-Etienne 3-1 away from home.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Franck-Tabanou-c14046 (Toulouse)
The 22-year-old was in great form for Toulouse as Les Pitchouns defeated Caen 1-0.
Strikers
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Souleymane-Camara-c33845 (Montpellier)
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 international came off the bench for Montpellier and the moment he arrived, things started changing for Montpellier. With the scores locked at 0-0, the 28-year-old scored a goal late in the second half as La Paillade stayed at the top of the
table.
Frederic Sammaritano (Ajaccio)
The new Ajaccio signing was in great form for the newly-promoted side and scored a brace as Ajaccio beat Valenciennes 3-1 at home.
