Present at FC Nantes since 2019, Alban Lafont has experienced moments of joy and others a little less glorious. The former Toulouse goalkeeper confirmed that he did not get along with his former replacement goalkeeper, Rémy Descamps.
For five years, Alban Lafont has brought joy to FC Nantes. The goalkeeper trained at TFC has experienced various emotions, such as a tough performance against Toulouse in 2021 but also a coronation in the Coupe de France the following year, in 2022. For the Team, the 25-year-old player is returned to certain painful episodes that he has experienced in recent months, particularly with regard to competition. Rémy Descamps was Lafont’s understudy, and the balance of power was balanced during the heroic run two years ago, when Descamps started in the Cup. The one who also wore the Fiorentina jersey confided that he did not necessarily get along with his colleague, which ended up being felt in his performances which according to him were not at the same level last year , before Rémy Descamps ended up joining Olympique Lyonnais as understudy to the new starter Lucas Perri during the summer.

The one who has played 192 games in the Canaries jersey and who is under contract with Nantes until 2027 confirmed that he had moments of doubt, particularly due to his poor relationship with Descamps: “I let myself get caught up in a negative spiral. It showed during my season. And then we had two changes of coaches. There were times when I no longer wanted to train. And things went very badly during the sessions. With a teammate (Descamps)? Yes, but I don’t want to go into too much detail. I’m a fairly happy person, I like to have fun in training, and then it became unpleasant, weighing on me all year long. Sometimes there are personalities that don’t match. It was felt in the performances. When you train badly, you play badly, there is no secret”he blurted. The reunion between the two men this Sunday at Groupama Stadium for a poster between OL and Nantes will be worth the detour.
