There is no denying that FC Nantes is traveling better than it is hosting this season. Undefeated for three trips, the Yellows once again sought an extremely valuable point in the fight to maintainthis Saturday evening in Brest (0-0), a week after having done the same in Hérault. Repositioned at five in defense with Duverne, Pallois, Castelletto, Cömert and Coco, the Yellow House first suffered. But she was prepared for it. She turned her back, benefited from a superb save from Alban Lafont on a no less brilliant strike from Bradley Locko before doing violence to herself. Without the unusual clumsiness of Abline who missed two huge chances at the end of the first act, Antoine Kombouaré’s protégés could have even surprised the Francis-Le-Blé stadium.
The Brest technician, Eric Roy, was finally right. “Maybe it will give birth to an old 0-0″he said at a press conference. The match scenario confirmed his predictions. We quickly saw that the two teams would be largely satisfied with this point, important for the Ti’Zefs in the race for the Champions League, decisive for the Yellows in order to ensure their survival. We’re not going to lie to you, it wasn’t the match of the year but it is perhaps the one which marks a turning point in the end of the season for Nantes who are now four lengths behind the play-off. Antoine Kombouaré’s bet is no longer very far from being won.
