Mohammed Amoura’s tireless display and first Nice goal in 2-1 win over Lille could make him fans’ favourite | OneFootball

Mohammed Amoura scored his first Nice goal in the 2-1 win over Lille on Sunday, his tireless, combative style already hinting he could become a fans’ favourite.

Starting at the Allianz Riviera for the first time, the Algerian forward netted the second goal of the victory. According to L'Équipe, his hyperactive work-rate quickly resonated with the home support.

In and around the stadium, the recurring expectation of new signings is clear, even in defeat, supporters want players who never let up, which they see as part of Nice’s identity.

Renato Civelli and José Cobos are often cited as examples of that spirit, even if they belong to an earlier era.

Among forwards, Dario Cvitanich, who blended talent with combativeness, is another reference point, and spectators sensed a little of that in Amoura on Sunday.
