“Low-strength military training, responsible for special missions“, such is the definition of the expression”commando operation“in Le Larousse. If the Raymond Kopa stadium is not a military ground, although its lawn in poor condition could look like a quagmire, the new coach of FC Nantes Antoine Kombouaré counts to rely on a dialectic that is dear to him to relieve the Canary soldier: war. Barely three days after his arrival, the message already seems to infuse among the Yellow and Green who have left their players’ tunics to endorse that of victims than players since November 8 and their last success in Lorient.
Maybe we need to be rushed a little. Now there are 14 games left, 14 finals, it’s going to be war.
“A match is a balance of power, chanted the successor of Raymond Domenech and Christian Gourcuff. I want a team that produces play, I want to see warriors on the attack. If the team is afraid, they don’t play. We have to show everyone that we have good players. “The general mobilization is decreed. The tone is set. With Kombouaré, we must expect a strong speech and military rigor.”It’s totally different from other coaches, confides an Alban Lafont, used to appearing in front of the press when the going gets tough. We have a relatively young group and maybe we need to be pushed around a bit. Now there are 14 games left, 14 finals, it’s gonna be war.” L'”commando operation“that the technician of 57 years calls of his wishes is launched. But beware of rout from the first duel, this Sunday afternoon, facing a SCO of Angers who remains in five games without defeat against his closest neighbor .
