Anthony Lopes and his crazy outings can be scary at first. But a former OL and Nantes guard is well placed to know that this reputation as a dangerous goalkeeper is not justified.
Even before January 1st, it is the transfer of this transfer window for the moment. Anthony Lopes, forever Gone, left OL to join FC Nantes. He will try to breathe new life into the Canaries' rearguard while the first part of the season looked like a long descent into hell. Antoine Kombouaré was confirmed but he was also given some promises for the transfer window. The arrival of the Franco-Portuguese will change mentalities even if Lopes is also known to be a sanguine person. In the locker room as in his outings, the former Lyon player can hurt. However, for Rémy Riou, former Nantes and Lyon goalkeeper and therefore well placed to discuss this issue as he worked alongside Lopes at OL, the supporters of the Maison Jaune will quickly be reassured by such a goalkeeper.
Anthony Lopes is not a suicide bomber
« Well, Antho, it's dynamic, explosive, aggressive. He's the type of goalkeeper who pushes forward. Kamikaze? I don't call it kamikaze, I call it aggressive. In the sense that he advances, he anticipates the game, inevitably, that leads to duels. But, if you look at his career, his outings are authoritative but he hasn't taken many red cards. He marks his territory. I don't really agree with what the media has labeled him. Obviously, he takes a little more risk, goes to duels but it’s effective”delivered Rémy Riou, who remained very close to Lopes to the point of having gone on vacation with him recently, in the columns of Ouest France.
For the goalkeeper now at Paris FC, the arrival of Lopes will do a lot of good for Nantes, even if the competition will have to be managed because there are currently three for a position, with Lafont and the Swede Carlgren.
