Released by his training club, the goalkeeper joined the FC Nantes during the week and has already taken his place in the Canaries goal. For the 16th day of the French championship, Lopes started against Bruno Genesio's Lille.
For this first, the Portuguese was served and rather reassured the Nantes supporters of his ability to be competitive despite a last match played seven months ago. “Personally, I have been waiting for this since May 19. There is an explosion of joy, because I am very whole, very human. I was happy for the group and also for myself, to be able to return to the field and take a point here. I felt good. There are still some automatisms to pick up over the course of the matches.
A draw which arranged OL
Behind his new guardian, Nantes brought back a clear point (1-1) from their trip to the north. Without meaning to, Anthony Lopes also did the business of his former club. By defeating the Lille attackers, the goalkeeper pushed the Mastiffs to concede a draw and be under threat ofOL. Even though she had all the difficulties in the world against Montpellierthe Lyon team jumped at the opportunity, the short success (1-0) allowing them to return to equality with the LOSC in 4th place.
