Aurier: Out of position but in the groove
When Toulouse paid Lens 1.6 million Euros for Serge Aurier's
signature last summer, a few eyebrows were raised. The Ivory Coast-born
player has since made that fee look derisory, becoming a devastating
force from deep.
When Serge Aurier left RC Lens for Toulouse FC last year, he
was a raw, teenage defender with all the makings of a top player.
Fast-forward 15 months, and the right-back - now a first choice in Alain Casanova's team - is beginning to fulfil his immense promise."Before I joined Toulouse, I didn't have the same focus," he explained to beIN Sport. "The coach here has taught me to be more disciplined, to stay level-headed and make sure I attack and defend at the right times."
Looking good for Paris Saint-Germain
Seven points clear at the top with seven games to play, things are
looking good for Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, the tear-up for the
Champions League spots and to avoid the drop are certain to provide much
drama.
PSG were 2-0 winners at Rennes on Saturday to re-establish a
seven-point gap over second-placed Olympique de Marseille, who had
temporarily reduced the deficit to four points with a 1-0 home win over
Bordeaux the previous evening. Jérémy Ménez's magnificent 56th-minute
solo goal sent PSG on their way and strengthened the French
international's claims for a starting berth in Barcelona on Wednesday in
the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. David Beckham
came off the bench at half-time and provided his first assist in French
football in added time, Ligue 1 top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic turning in
his 26th league goal of the season from close range.
