Short-lived coach of FC Nantes during the 2020-2021 season, Raymond Domenech was extremely critical of Alban Lafont. According to the former Blues coach, the Nantes goalkeeper's recurring shortcomings came to light against OM this Sunday (1-2).
Could Alban Lafont have done better on Mason Greenwood's goal? In any case, this is the (very) clear opinion of Raymond Domenech. According to the former coach of the France team, briefly on the bench of FC Nantes during the 2020-2021 season (8 matches), the Canaries goalkeeper is not exempt from any reproach over the attempt to OM striker, who gave his team the victory in the 61st minute this Sunday at the end of the 10th day of Ligue 1 (1-2).
“Rantanplan”
“He's always been like that. He doesn't dive, he falls. He looks like a goalkeeper from 1920, diving sideways,” said Raymond Domenech on the channel's set The Team. “Alban Lafont's heyday? If he has balls high up, yes he will look for them. But on the ground, on target… He is always in difficulty.”
“I saw it for a month and a half when I was in Nantes, we conceded a few goals like that. From 25 meters, balls rolling into the corners… and too short, Rantanplan every time,” concluded the 2006 world vice-champion. The person concerned will appreciate it.
