Ligue 1 News: OGC Nice Decision Ludovic Giuly or
Benjamin Moukandjo? Wisdom or Agility?
Ligue 1 football club OGC Nice are keen on reviving their glorious reign of the fifties by eying former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ludovic-Giuly-c22617 and AS Monaco striker Benjamin Moukandjo.
The club have been dodging the axe of relegation by just maintaining the upper positions at the bottom half of the Ligue 1 Championelle. The outrageous fans will see a glimmer of hope in Nice’s strategy to sign new star strikers.
Giuly’s ability to take defenders head on and dribbling them with pace is one of his renowned abilities. Playing as a second striker throughout his career, Giuly has also played on the right side of the three man attack, alongside forwards Ronaldinho and
Samuel Eto’o. The Lyon-born won the Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 title in June 2011 for PSG, beating his former club AS Monaco.
Many questions may have risen about the possible signing of the veteran by Les Aiglons. Eric Roy, the former sporting director for OGC Nice and now the club’s coach, is willing to bring in some class and experience in the forward line in the upcoming season
and is willing to take his chances with the 35-year-old. Giuly is currently a free agent as his contract with PSG has expired.
The 43-year-old French tactician, who took responsibility as head coach in 2010, has another option for the front line. 22-year-old Benjamin Moukandjo Bile of AS Monaco has 3 goals in 16 appearances in the Ligue 1 2010/11 season. The Douala-born recently
played for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cameroon-c2865 national team.
The youngster’s ability to get through the defenders with his speed and his ability to shoot from long range has also impressed English Premier League giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC. Moukandjo is talented and his versatility could be a great asset for the Stade Municipal
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Du-c11689 Ray side.
The Côte d'Azur club will have to come to a decision about a tradeoff between experience and young talent. This signing might prove to be the turning point for Les Aiglons. By signing the veteran, Nice will be able to have some experience in the field while
the 22-year-old Moukandjo will provide speed and a lot of spark in the attacking third.
The fans await an ambitious decision from the Côte d'Azur-based side and will be hoping for not only survival in the upcoming season but a chance to compete for a berth in Europe.
