Patrik Carlgren, to everyone's surprise, was started in goal for FC Nantes against Paris Saint-Germain (1-1), in place of Alban Lafont. And the Swede clearly delivered with a high-level performance.
Antoine Kombouaré, the Nantes coach, justified his decision by explaining that he had confidence in Carlgren, “he is a goalkeeper who exudes the joy of living, he has a lot of experience. I didn't give him a gift. I had confidence, I had to give it a try. It exudes serenity. This is not a sanction for Alban. »
An encouraging match for the future
“I was scared at the start, but we did better than against Le Havre, where we conceded a goal after 2'30. We have to believe that the good Lord is testing us. Against Le Havre we broke down, there we were able to keep our heads above water, to resist. All week, we worked on the frustration of never having the ball, running, defending. It’s the little point of revolt and hope. This is a point that matters in the situation in which we find ourselves. This is the best way to prepare for the derby against Rennes,” concluded Kombouaré.
