Bułka's evening

Marcin Bułka is your Aiglon from Nice - Lille with 68% of the votes. The Polish giant, who put in a great performance, is ahead of Morgan Sanson and Gaëtan Laborde.

"Why did you choose Marcin? I think the answer lies in his performance today. I have to thank him for his performance. I wish him all the best and I'm sure he'll continue to help us as much as he did today. After the Polish giant's performance against LOSC, Francesco Farioli was full of praise for him. It has to be said that Bułka (23) did not miss his return to the Nice goal, in his 12th match in official competition in the red and black jersey, his first in the role of number 1 goalkeeper.

On Friday, Marcin kicked off his evening with a standing ovation from the red and black crowd, which is always good for confidence. He built on this confidence to dominate the match. He made 4 fine saves, dominated in the aerial duels and off his own goal-line, and could do nothing about Diakité's late goal. He also showed off his excellent footwork, with 63 touches and proving invaluable in the early stages of the Gym's revival. It was an outstanding performance that was hailed by the fans and his coach alike.

Behind Bułka, the voters placed Sanson (18% of the votes). A real marathon runner in midfield (12.9 km covered, the highest distance in the match), the No11 was active and accurate, both in possession and when bursting forward. Plagued by cramp, he finished the match in the middle of the park as the Gym defended tirelessly, but never gave up.

Gaëtan Laborde rounded off the top three (7%). A man for the big nights and the big events, the striker was bound to be involved in the L1 opener. He worked hard down the right flank and added to his immense display of energy with the clarity of a predator, chipping the ball over Chevalier with his right foot. It was his 17th goal for Le Gym in all competitions...
