After suffering a defeat against OGC Nice in the Coupe de France, Issa Cissokho’s teammates are eager to bounce back with a victory this Sunday in their encounter against Lorient, part of the 20th day of France’s Ligue 1. This marks the third meeting between the two teams this season.
“The lineups will undergo changes. Lorient concluded the year strongly, whereas we had a challenging start. Our goal is to kick off 2014 on a positive note. As the coach emphasized, we must regain composure both offensively and defensively, rediscovering the strengths we showcased at the beginning of the season. It’s essential to re-enter the championship with determination,” stated the left side of the Canaries.
FC Nantes is determined not to let the opportunity slip in the match against the Merlus and plans to adopt an assertive approach to secure victory: “Aggression will be key to disrupting their rhythm and setting the tempo in this match. We won’t allow ourselves to succumb to their collective play and passing game. Being on our home turf, it’s our responsibility to showcase our style of play, marking our territory to claim the three points.”
