In the locker room, D10: FC Nantes – Le Havre

Mathieu Ricoul’s players receive the women of Le Havre on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. for the shock at the top of this 10th day of women’s D2.

Shock in sight at Marcel-Saupin! Sunday, the Women of FC Nantes will have a hard time facing their runners-up in the standings, the Havraises. Nantes are level on points (20 points) with the HAC but are ahead of it on goal difference.

A victory would therefore confirm the good return to form of the players of Mathieu Ricoul, beaten in Metz three weeks ago. Especially since the Lorraine club could take advantage of the misstep of one of the two teams since it only points to a small point behind the leaders of group A with 19 points. The stake of this meeting therefore weighs on all heads.

The shape of the moment

Nantes side: the first loss of the season against Metz seems to be history. The Nantes women emerge from a double confrontation against their neighbors of La Roche-sur-Yon in the championship and in the Coupe de France where they have won each time (2-0). Mathieu Ricoul also took the opportunity to keep his team running a bit before facing Le Havre. Long awaited in Vendée, the Women of FC Nantes have shown that they are able to bounce back even if they have been heckled by the Vendée.

Le Havre side: everything is going for the best for the Normans. They remain on three matches without defeat, including two victories against Saint-Malo (2-0) and Brest (4-1) and a draw (1-1 against Strasbourg). Their only defeat dates back to October 17 against Lens (3-1) and, like the Nantes, it is the only one of the season, which allows them to be in such a good position in the championship standings. This is a golden opportunity for the Havraises to take the lead in this shock at the top where they will have great assets to worry FC Nantes, in particular the former Jaune-et-Verte Fanny Hoarau, left side. It will therefore be necessary to be careful.

The Nantes to follow: Anaële Le Moguédec

Anaële Le Moguédec has become essential to the typical team of this women’s section of FC Nantes. At almost 20 years old, the one who had had a complicated start in the Nantes jersey due to injury, made a place for herself during the 2020 season under the orders of Tanguy Fétiveau and now leaves her place only on rare occasions. The attacking midfielder confided to adore competition because it is what pushes her to surpass herself every day to improve.

And this season it is served since it must make its way between Marine Pervier, Claire Lelarge, Margaux Bueno and Hillary Diaz. When Mathieu Ricoul wants a rich environment, they fold the names of Pervier, Lelarge and Le Moguédec. But if the starting XI wants to be more offensive, one of its three players must give way, hence the emulation that results.

If Anaële Le Moguédec missed the first meetings because of an injury, she has since shown an excellent level of recovery, apart from the defeat against Metz. Against the HAC, a great performance of our number 6 is necessary as it weighs on the Nantes game. It is the lungs of the team.
