Before beginning the 14th day , the Canaries are yet fourth in Ligue 1, three points behind the podium. There is success, necessarily , but not that . Nantes - which for a team is currently one of the collective coherent Championship (3rd best defense and 3rd best attack).
Witness this 3-0 victory over Bordeaux lawn just before the international break , which places the Canaries to only three points for third place occupied by Monaco , they face Sunday Beaujoire . If they win, they win medals .
1 - It was a bad beginning
Nantes played seven friendlies pre- season against opponents who operate mostly in Ligue 2 and National. He has won only one , against Vannes ( 1-0). During this same preparation , Franck Kita, the president's son , had led all players during the climb Forclaz in the Haute-Savoie.
Not very reassuring , especially as the number who snatched the rise and has hardly budged is mainly composed of average players on paper, the image of the right side , Issa Cissokho ( brother of Ali , International French ) . His former coach at Guingamp, Philippe Lemaire said of the latter :
" He 's bluffing me . Was felt he had something but then to imagine L1 ! I remember at the time of an explosive player , super fast but had technical and tactical deficiencies. It was more in precipitation in speed. "
In August, the FCNA began his championship with a victory over Bastia ( 2-0). But three days later, the Corsicans have filed a reservation to Nantes midfielder Abdoulaye Traoré , who was suspended by them . The case is ongoing and could cost three points to Canaris .
2 - Waldemar Kita enjoys ( he suffered )
Head of Turkish fans - who accuse him of having done anything of the club since he bought in 2007 (for a sum of between eight and ten million euros ) - the man of Franco -Polish business 54 years is the kind of safe type of him who has trouble with the mea culpa . On crappy transfers past five seasons in Ligue 2 - despite the means - and the eight coaches he dismissed six years, he says :
" At my communication, my words , I might be more diplomatic , more political am . When I told one day that the training center was not a daycare , I was right but I would not have said it like that. "
Or:
"When I arrived, I was told that I had to listen to experienced people . I should not have . "
Helping results, public condemnation against him subsided . Waldemar Kita , who ruled most of the elders of the house , enjoys . Hospitalized there a few days, he can rest quietly he named Franck , 31 years his son , general manager of the club.
3 - The number remained stable
At the end of the 2007-2008 season, Michel Der Zakarian , formed the club, had traced the FCNA in Ligue 1. Its president, Waldemar Kita , not really patient ( even less at the time) and far too ambitious , had dismissed after three days in favor of Elie Baup . A decision that served no Nantes had come down to Ligue 2 months later .
The former coach of Clermont - with that grazed the rise - is back in the summer of 2012. Since then he has convinced everyone , including Ligue 1 , where his methods work even if they are now far from the " game Nantes " ( licking ) of the past. To our colleagues So Foot , midfielder Lucas Deaux , reports the words of his coach :
"If I am to be labeled a defensive coach, I do not give a fuck ." We play on our qualities . Gambling in Nantes Yes , we were talking about , we were talking about ... But you should know evolve. we must distinguish between the periods. Otherwise, give us the Barca players and the remake , huh. "
Lucas Deaux , including his coach said he has a grain , is one of those players that has transcended the rise . He is not alone. There was also - among others - Issa Cissokho, Chaker Alhadhur and the whole gang of Venezuelan club .
If they are not the greatest talents of Ligue 1 , they all managed to get in through a perfect state of mind and stability of the group. This summer, the club , which has no cell recruitment, did not reproduce the errors of the 2008-2009 season when he stacked players . It pays .
4 - Filip Djordjevic , soup star milk
When Bastia filed its reserve Djordjevic cracked :
"This is an amateur mistake was fifty or sixty employees, 80% of them do nothing at all. (...) It's been five and a half years that I'm here , I see people , I not even know what they do ... "
Arriving in Nantes in 2008 - he is the only player to have experienced the actual Ligue 1 club - Serbian has given its full potential as the previous season scoring 20 goals in Ligue 2 .
With eight goals to counter it close behind Falcao and Cavani to scorer . With midfielder Floriant Veretout ( world champion under 20 ) and defenseman Papy Djilobodji , it is one of those players a notch above level talent and potential. He knows it, so it can sometimes be arrogant and milk soup . Example in 2010, when a journalist crosses Team :
Write what you want, I do not care. "
Out of contract in June, Djordjevic , which is largely dependent FCNA , has already attracted a lot of envy.
5 - Managing the soft shot
At the moment everything seems to FC Nantes, who has not yet experienced soft shot and spent the winter transfer window , often fatal to the revelations of the first half of the season (this was the case for example of Valenciennes last season ) .
If it is already 19 points - nearly half the points needed to maintain - he lost no demerit , all his matches against big home (PSG and Lille). Sunday , he attacks a candidate for the title, while it will face in the coming weeks OM and Saint -Etienne.
Indeed , Nantes, barring a miracle , should not stay on top of the standings. However, it could become established in the first part of the championship if he continues to pick up points on the sly here and there .
Warning to the euphoria he was not as well , RC Strasbourg in the 2007-2008 season, also promoted and properly seated in the middle of the championship until the truce (10th) , had come down in Ligue 2 .
