French season 2011-12
French season 2011-12
The Ligue 1 will start on August 6 and will end on May 20.
The "Trophée des Champions" (Super Cup) between Lille (title holder) and Marseille (2nd of last season as Lille made the double in 2011) will take place tonight in Tanger (Morocco).
Here is the location of the 20 clubs involved in the 2011-12 season (Ligue 1)

Just to remember that Evian, Ajaccio and Dijon are the three promoted teams at the expense of Monaco, Lens and Arles-Avignon who have been relegated to L2.
Note that there were 4 different champions in the last 4 seasons (Lyon in 2008, Bordeaux in 2009, Marseille in 2010 and Lille in 2011).
Other facts:
- Saint-Etienne is the most titled club with 10 titles (last one in 1981)
- Sochaux is the club which spent the most time in Ligue 1 (63 seasons)
- Paris SG is the oldest club in the Ligue 1 (37 seasons in a row)
- greatest total of points in a season (3 pts-20 clubs): Lyon 2006 with 84 pts
- biggest gap between the champion and the runner-up : Lyon 2007 with 17 pts
- greatest total of points in a season for a relegated team: Monaco 2011 with 44 pts
- unbeaten: Nantes 1995 - 32 games in a row
- wins: Bordeaux 2009/10 - 14 wins in a row

yes, that was a good game.
Sure this was entertaining with 4 goals scored between the 87' and the 94' (among them a questionable penalty for Marseille at 4-4), but not only.
I saw 2 teams willing to score goals, and we are not used in France to seeding offensive-minded teams And at last, but the not the least, I saw 2 teams able to develop some good football and create some good chances.
So I guess that both managers can be rather satisfied of the performance of their teams.
Deschamps will certainly underline that they won't be able to score every time 5 goals to win a game and that they must be much more focused in defense but he certainly appreciated the team spirit of his team able to come-back from 1-3 to 5-4 in the dying minute. Amalfitano missed his game but susbsitute Jordan Ayew (the young brother of André) was again convincing and should be close to the regular starters this season.
Same for Rudi Garcia. As he mentioned in the post-game interviews, Lille made some mistakes and can only blame themselves to have allowed Marseille to come back but they made a good game generally speaking, have not lost their flair and attacking skills and this first official game is interesting for them too.

I thought Tours were very unlucky not to take this match to Extra Time three times they hit the bar twice in the last ten minutes. it was a very clear penalty for Lens.
Tours from this showing should do well in Ligue 2. Lens defence still looks weak and will need work to win back promotion to Ligue 1.
