With OGC Nice’s rearguard proving to be as impenetrable as ever, two members of the back four that were placed in front of Marcin Bułka in the 1-0 win away to Clermont on Friday have reaped their rewards in the French press.

After starting the game at right-back, Pablo Rosario features in L’Équipe’s team of the week for Matchday 10 of Ligue 1. The Dutchman, who came third in our Aiglon of the Match poll, earned himself a rating of 6/10 in the sports daily.

Staying with L’Équipe, Jean-Clair Todibo makes an appearance in the newspaper’s XI of the weekend’s standout French players. “Jean-Clair Todibo has been putting in a series of excellent performances of late, and his display in the 1-0 win away to Clermont proves this. The international, who has one cap to his name, was impeccable in his duels and wowed us with his long-range passing. The right-footer is comfortably in the running for the honorary title of ‘best centre-back in Ligue 1 so far this season’,” emphasised L’Équipe, who incidentally rank Todibo as the second-best outfield player of the campaign so far, with an average rating of 6.78/10 (just behind Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte 6.83/10).
