It's the time of wishes and, for FC Nantes, the Goal team! Football Club has a few to say.
A successful winter transfer window for Antoine Kombouaré
Because we like “AK” and its maintenance accompanied by an overhaul of the technical staff will at least have the merit of bringing stability, we hope that the recruitment of the Canaries will be up to par from A to Z. This got off to a pretty good start with the arrival of Anthony Lopes, a goalkeeper of character and an OL icon. We hope that it will follow with a big midfielder and a scorer worthy of the name. Above all, we hope that the FCN will separate itself from the slew of average players who are plaguing its squad and restricting its young players.
Finally a team that wins at La Beaujoire…
On this point, we will not do worse than in 2024. 2 victories in 17 matches at Beaujoire, a tragic series of eight losses to start the calendar year, a first success at home which does not arrive until August 25 against AJ Auxerre (3-1) but 12 defeats in total! Not only has the team led by Antoine Kombouaré never been in control at home, but it is quite simply the Ligue 1 team which has been the most humiliated at home. The only small consolation: the derby won against Rennes on December 8 which saved the furniture a little. In 2025, we want Beaujoire to become a fortress again.
A maintenance for the Yellow and Green
We could have talked about the Coupe de France with the idea of dreaming a bit like during the 2021-22 season but given the trip to Brest which awaits the Canaries, we are going to stay a little more down to earth and be content with good support because if Nantes reached the truce in the 14thth place, only two points separate Jean-Charles Castelletto's teammates from the first direct relegated Le Havre. If we could give ourselves a little breathing space in the rankings quickly enough to avoid the hassle in May with several tough matches at La Beaujoire (Angers, Montpellier)…
Nuggets that point the tip of their nose
If this was no longer particularly true in recent seasons, FC Nantes has risen to the level of its training. With a generation that reached the semi-finals of the Youth League (the equivalent of the Champions League for young people) in 2024, Nantes must make this pool grow as much as possible. Nathan Zézé is the first of this golden generation to emerge. We hope for many more when the Canaries have finally pruned their squad to give them the opportunity to show themselves. From 2025? That’s obviously all we want…
A buyer to calm the atmosphere
FC Nantes “is for sale” in previous years, the Brigade Loire changed its tone in 2024 with a new banner: “FC Nantes must be sold”. On the banks of the Erdre, there is obvious exasperation about Waldemar Kita and, even if the Franco-Polish businessman has given up to avoid a disaster before the DNCG this winter, the dream of a change of shareholder – even if it means following the trend of new investment funds in Ligue 1 – could, in the short term, bring down tension in Nantes. Today, the climate is unfortunately too unhealthy to do good work…
