An air of a friendly match. Since they had already been eliminated from the Coupe de France, the Nantes and Rennaises had nothing at stake, other than maintaining the pace of the competition.
Already opponents last week, we can talk about a dry return match without ambition but with an objective, “give playing time to players like Mélina Michaud and Vanira van Sou for example. Ylana Richard also took responsibility”explains Camille Comte, Nantes coach.
First match and first goal for Vanira van Sou
In fact, the coach played a very young team, lowering the average age of his team to 19 years old. This was the first of one of them. “Vanira van Sou had a lump in her stomach when she entered the field and she scored her first goal at this level. We are happy”celebrates his mentor.

If the meeting is anecdotal, it will remain an indelible memory for the Nantes woman. The objective was therefore not to take risks but to progress collectively: “We took this match as a training match. » Indeed, the meetings will be rarer until January, so it was an opportunity to have fun in front of an audience, before doing high-intensity training throughout the month of December.
