17h39 France > Marseille - Effondrement d'une tribune au stade Vélodrome : plusieurs blessés  (marins-pompiers)

Une grue, qui participait au montage de la scène pour le concert de Madonna dimanche prochain à Marseille, vient de s'effondrer au stade Vélodrome. Des victimes seraient à déplorer.

CRUZEIRO
 
Fabio: 5.0 - Couldn't do too much about the goals he conceded. Fabio was alert throughout the game, but was crucified by his defence. At times he struggled to come out of his area to deal with speedy counterattacks.
 
Jonathan: 6.0 - The right-back was solid when marking and even looked strong when moving forward down the flank, but he often delayed his return and this greatly affected the side. He looked worn out in the second half.
 
Thiago Heleno: 5.0 - Returned to the side after missing the first leg, and struggled to find his feet. He looked clumsy at times and this affected the overall performance of the Cruzeiro defence.
 
Leonardo Silva: 6.0 - At 1.92 metres, it was no wonder he won most of the balls in the air, but although he was strong in this aspect of his game, he was one of the players at fault for what ended up being Boselli's winner.
 
Gerson Magrao: 6.0 - The left flanker wasn't at his best, and because of this he didn't have the necessary confidence to move to the attack as much as he would have liked. Towards the end of the game he was quite lively, and tried to steer the side forward.
 
Henrique: 6.5 - Wasn't at his best, but it was his goal that broke the deadlock. He unleashed a powerful long-range drive that took a wild deflection before fooling a stranded Andujar.
 
Marquinhos Parana: 6.5 - Like in the first leg, was very dangerous with his crossing and this often caught Estudiantes by surprise. Was secure in the left sector of the midfield, and did well when defending.
 
Wagner: 5.5 - Pushed the ball around nicely throughout the game, and was very effective when combining with his fellow midfielders. He even looked dangerous when moving forward, and never stopped fighting for his side. Was replaced, because otherwise he would have collapsed.
 
Ramires: 6.0 - Was very important when intercepting balls in the midfield, and also when moving forward, but his passing could have been better at times. He often struggled when marking.
 
Kleber: 5.5 - Kleber started the game brightly, and as the minutes went by he began to demonstrate his quality with some dangerous runs, but his impact on the game faded towards the end. His sublime skills were never to be seen.
 
Wellington Paulista: 5.0 - Wasn't provided with the right service and thus had a quiet game. He started well, but during some stages of the game he seemed lost. He was taken off earlier than was expected, after a frustrating performance.
 
 
Thiago: 7.0 - Only played 16 minutes, but could have scored three goals, including a fabulous effort that hit the crossbar.
 
 
ESTUDIANTES
 
Mariano Andujar: 6.0 - Always looked secure, and apart from the goal didn't have a whole lot to do. Can't be blamed for conceding, because Henrique's drive took a wild deflection.
 
Christian Cellay: 6.5 - A good performance by the versatile player. He worked very hard in the Estudiantes defence and made a number of important interceptions. He was also a menace in the attack.
 
Rolando Schiavi: 7.0 - Another brilliant game by the veteran. He only played four games of the tournament after reinforcing Estudiantes in the absence of Marcos Angeleri, but was very important. He won several crucial aerial balls, especially towards the end of the game when Cruzeiro went looking for an equaliser.
 
Leandro Desabato: 6.5 - Proved his worth with another good display. He demonstrated his fighting spirit and personality and was key for the success of the side. The influence he had in defence was invaluable for Estudiantes.
 
German Re: 6.0 - Like the rest of the Estudiantes defence, Re had a very solid game. He was sturdy when marking and also when distributing the ball.
 
Enzo Perez: 7.5 - Gave Veron a steady hand when it came to the creative aspect. Perez was at the centre of several of Estudiantes' best moves, and this was greatly appreciated by his team-mates.
 
Rodrigo Brana: 6.5 - Worked extremely hard in the Estudiantes midfield, and as was the case in the first leg, he managed to intercept a number of crucial balls. At times he got a little bit carried away and resorted to tough tackling.
 
Juan Sebastian Veron: 8.5 - An absolutely amazing performance by Veron. Was by far the best player on the field, because of the amount of work he put in. The Estudiantes symbol orchestrated his team's best moves, he set up the second goal, and made several important tackles. Just brilliant!
 
Leandro Benitez: 6.0 - Played much better than in the first leg in La Plata, as he moved to the attack at every opportunity, and his passing was also very accurate. He linked up well with Veron.
 
Gaston Fernandez : 7.0 - It was his goal that started Estudiantes' amazing comeback victory. 'La Gata' was a menace to the Cruzeiro defence at all moments, and would be proud of his performance, which was his last for the club.
 
Mauro Boselli: 8.0 - It was Boselli's powerful header that won Estudiantes the trophy for the fourth time. The striker beat his marker time and time again, and always got himself into good positions.

Justement, 24 M€ sur un seul joueur, cela fait beaucoup …
Jean-Michel Aulas : Le jour où j’étais à Porto, Barcelone avait envoyé une offre de 30 M€ pour Lisandro. Le président Pinto vous le confirmera. On n’a pas l’impression d’avoir cassé la tirelire car l’Olympique Lyonnais est l’un des clubs les plus sains d’Europe avec 160 M€ de fonds propres. Nous avons effectivement mis un petit coup de canif dans cette trésorerie, mais l’objectif de l’OL est d’avoir la meilleure équipe possible. C’est vrai qu’on fait aujourd’hui sur Lisandro Lopez l’investissement le plus important que l’on a jamais fait. C’est le deuxième plus gros transfert en France après celui d’Anelka, il y a quelques années.

Où en sont les dossiers d’André-Pierre Gignac et de Loïc Rémy ?
Jean-Michel Aulas : J’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à lire dans la presse que certains joueurs souhaitaient vraiment rejoindre l’Olympique Lyonnais et faire partie de la meilleure équipe que nous aurons jamais eue. Cela mérite le respect et donne envie de faire les efforts nécessaires. On avance chaque jour sur tous les dossiers. Nous ne faisons pratiquement que cela. Bernard Lacombe y travaille à plein temps, Marino Faccioli y passe ses jours et ses nuits et j’y passe une bonne partie de mes vacances. Le marché est encore plus cher donc c’est encore plus compliqué. Je ne dis pas qu’on a été jaloux de voir qu’il n’y en avait que pour Marseille et Bordeaux ces derniers temps, mais cela nous a un peu titillés. On a décidé avec Bernard et Claude de frapper un grand coup. Sur le plan de l’investissement, nous allons être à la hauteur de nos ambitions et de vos attentes.
