FC Nantes did a very good job this Sunday by winning the derby against Stade Rennais. Antoine Kombouaré's men are breathing a bit regarding the race to remain in Ligue 1.
Nantes confirmed its fine draw gleaned on the lawn of the Parc des Princes against PSG last week by overcoming Rennes this Sunday. Moses Simon freed Beaujoire with a magnificent goal at the end of the game. Once again, the Nantes collective delivered a beautiful performance. And Johann Lepenant is no stranger to this, he who enjoys evolving under the orders of Antoine Kombouaré. The former OL player does not regret at all having joined the Canary ranks a few months ago, even if Les Gones had bet a lot on him. Loaned with option to purchase, he intends to give everything for the colors of Nantes.
Johann Lepenant, Nantes is seduced
During a few words exchanged in recent hours with Free Ligue 1the 22-year-old midfielder has indeed reconsidered his choice to sign for Nantes: « The choice was to have playing time. In Lyon, there have been recruitments and changes. This is why I made the decision to go on loan to play. I think at our age that’s the most important thing. There was also the FC Nantes project and the coach called me to present it to me. Antoine Kombouaré told me that he liked me since Caen. It immediately made me want it and that’s why I came here and I’m very happy to be here.” Note that FC Nantes plans, according to Antoine Kombouaré, to soon exercise the purchase option, set at some 2 million euros, to permanently secure the services of Johann Lepenant, who did not take long to get everyone to agree in Nantes.
