Rémy Descamps, new OL goalkeeper (credit: David Hernandez)
Number 2 goalkeeper for FC Nantes until the end of last season, Rémy Descamps joined OL this summer. The Lyon replacement goalkeeper maintains a little resentment towards his former management.
It was definitely a week where the replacement goalkeepers had things to say. Tuesday, Anthony Lopes dwelled on his discomfort since OL’s decision to start Lucas Perri and leave him on the fringes of the group. A situation that he did not understand and still does not understand. After Lyon’s number 4 goalkeeper, it’s the turn of Perri’s understudy to break the silence. Not to talk about his recent situation in Lyon, but of the last three seasons at FC Nantes. This Sunday (3 p.m.), Rémy Descamps reunites with his old club and if he will meet players with whom he maintains good relations, this will not necessarily be the case with Alban Lafont. “We were work colleagues. We didn’t have any real relationships”said the guard in West France. Words which are reminiscent of those of Lopes a few days earlier.
“Always wanted to respect the team, but I have personal regrets”
But more than his relationship with the titular Nantes goalkeeper, Descamps regrets the lack of competition that established itself among the Canaries during his stay. “Unfortunately, I didn’t see it. I would have liked a little competition to be established… I have always been very professional and I always wanted to respect the team. I always said to myself that if the coach chose Alban (Lafont) and that could allow us to win the Coupe de France, it was because it was the right choice. personal regrets.” Like those of being deprived of the Coupe de France final even though he had played all of the previous rounds.
At the end of his contract at the end of the 2023-2024 season, Rémy Descamps would not have said no to an extension. Moreover, there is a proposal for an extension in November 2023, “except that I saw the direction of the negotiation… it was not going in the right direction. I preferred to say no straight away and sharply. There were no discussions afterwards.” Free as air, he has since bounced back to OL without us really knowing if he will have more playing time with the Coupe de France in the months to come.
