Alban Lafont is going through a bad period in his career. The FC Nantes goalkeeper, in difficulty during his last matches, was sidelined by the Loire-Atlantique club, which has just recruited Anthony Lopes in his place.
In the press, very strong words were written to describe the mental state of Alban Lafont following this sidelining. “We could talk about depression” noted RMC in particular following the arrival of Anthony Lopes on the Beaujoire side. Dismissed by a club in which he was captain, Alban Lafont is therefore having a very difficult time with the situation. But words have meaning and for the former goalkeeper of the French Espoirs team, the media have clearly misused him. This is how on his Instagram account after FC Nantes' draw on the Lille pitch on Saturday evening (1-1), Alban Lafont came out of silence for the first time since being sidelined.
Mentioning RMCwhich was the first media to mention depression, the one who is still under contract with Nantes for the moment denied this information about him. “Words have meaning. Review your information and respect the people who are really suffering from it” published the FC Nantes goalkeeper on his Instagram account, subsequently qualifying him as « fake news » radio information about his potential depression. As in the case of Kylian Mbappé, very strong words were used about the mental health of Alban Lafont and obviously, the situation is not as serious as what was written in the media if we rely on the words of the 25-year-old goalkeeper on social networks.
Alban Lafont is going through a bad time
Good news, therefore, even if we can easily imagine that Alban Lafont is not living the happiest period of his life as a footballer with this brutal sidelining during the season. The ideal for him would be to quickly find a new club, but the offers do not seem to be coming in this winter transfer window. His name was briefly mentioned in Lens, who nevertheless do not seem to make it their priority, even if Brice Samba were to pack his bags by the end of January.
