Demoted before the winter break and now pushed towards the exit, Alban Lafont is struggling to find a new team. The FC Nantes goalkeeper is having a hard time with his situation. So much so that his father took the liberty of publicly accusing Canaries coach Antoine Kombouaré after his astonishing press conference on Thursday.
Antoine Kombouaré really hasn't appreciated the rumors in recent weeks. Long announced close to dismissal, the FC Nantes coach denounced a lack of respect from the media. Kanak therefore contented himself with a huge rant during his press conference on Thursday, without answering questions from the journalists present. A way to punish your detractors, or rather to avoid embarrassing subjects? At least that's the theory of a certain Rolland Lafont.
On the forum of the regional daily Ouest-France, Alban Lafont's father accused Antoine Kombouaré, according to him, responsible for the situation of his son being demoted to the status of number 2 and even pushed towards the exit. “ This sad gentleman was afraid that we might ask him certain questions about his dishonest actions towards certain people at FC Nantes after he had used these people very well, and he had to explain his own actions and errors in his work as coach of FC Nantes having had negative consequences on the results of FC Nantes », blurted Rolland Lafont.
Lafont is having a hard time with his situation
To understand his father's reaction, you need to know that the former Toulouse resident is having a hard time with his downgrade. Alban Lafont had played the first 12 days of Ligue 1 before seeing the Swede Patrik Carlgren pass him in front. And as if that wasn't enough, he became unwanted after the signing of Anthony Lopes. “ He's really sad, at the bottom of the bucket. We could talk about depression “, testified an RMC reporter, who learned that the doorman's agent, who notably proposed his client to Lens, without success, was unable to find him a new team.
