The Canaries want to keep flying. Three days after its success at the end of the suspense, in the Europa League, FC Nantes wants to continue. Deprived of Moutoussamy, the Yellows will try to win a second success in Ligue 1, this Sunday, against an astonishing team from Lorient, fifth.
It looks like the perfect trap. Three days after the madness that took hold of La Beaujoire, following a success acquired at the very end of the match against Olympiakos, FC Nantes returned to the daily life of Ligue 1, this Sunday in Lorient, amazing fifth. Lacking in confidence away from their bases with only one away victory since the start of the year, Antoine Kombouaré’s proteges will tackle a Lorient team which has made the best start to the season in its history. “I hope it won’t be a trapbreathes Jean-Charles Castelletto. We are coming off a great victory but we are not going to have to be euphoric. Ligue 1 is different. There is a big issue. We need to know why we are here. Last year, when you see the match, it was played in the mind.“That’s good, it’s one of the big strengths of the Canaries.
Deprived of Samuel Moutoussamy, injured, but not of Ludovic Blas and Mostafa Mohamed, uncertain until the last moment, the Yellows want to start a dynamic to start their season definitively. “It must be a strength for us to link these two competitionsassures Antoine Kombouaré. I don’t want to hear these talks about fatigue, difficulty, recovery, cares. We must be ready. This should give us the energy, the strength and the mentality to go for a victory in Lorient.“And thus continue this series of invincibility against the Hakes which has lasted for 11 meetings.
