The preparation finished, Angers still has a week of work to refine the last details before the resumption of the championship, Sunday at 3 p.m. against Nantare at Raymond Kopa
The calm after the storm
Between the change of system operated by the coach, the departures, the new recruits, the change of system and the many friendly, Angers and his trainer Gérald Baticle clearly did not experience a restful summer. The main difficulty will most certainly be adapting to the new system, with the transition to a 4-man defense after playing with 5 players behind.
A change desired by the coach, and the recruits will also have to adapt very quickly to this new way of evolving, and to the expectations of G. Baticle. Because the departures of Romain Thomas, Angelo Fulgini, Thomas Mangani, Mohamed-Ali Cho or even Stéphane Bahoken will clearly be felt, and the automatic mechanisms will most likely not be present during the first days of the championship.
A first meeting on Sunday
After the last friendly, played last Saturday against La Spezia (2-2), Sofiane Boufal’s teammates will therefore have a full week to prepare for the start of the new exercise.
It will be a big game against Nantes to kick off the season, who won the Coupe de France last year but just lost 4-0 to PSG in the Trophée des Champions. Angers is a slight favorite according to the bookmakers, and the Angers odds are also very interesting for this match, and a Winamax bonus for the new Ligue 1 season is offered on the Wincomparator site.
The perfect opportunity to start the season in the best possible way, like the SCO? It will clearly not be a simple match, and Stade Raymond Kopa will have to push its players to start the championship with 3 precious points!
