It was a demoralizing defeat that FC Nantes handed to Valenciennes. Losing 6-2 at home against Serges Gakpé’s side, Valenciennes finds itself still struggling to secure its position in the league. The frustration among fans boiled over, leading to an altercation with Jean-Christophe Bahebeck after the match.
As the game concluded, approximately ten supporters confronted Bahebeck near the stadium, expressing their disappointment at his lack of goal-scoring prowess (only 2 goals in 17 Ligue 1 matches). They drew comparisons with his teammate Majeed Waris, who managed to score 9 goals since his arrival in the winter transfer window.
Criticism also centered around Bahebeck’s loan status, with fans pointing out that he would simply return to PSG at the end of the season, seemingly unaffected by Valenciennes’ fate. Exasperated, the player responded to one of the fans by hurling an insult.
Valenciennes currently sits 6 points behind Guingamp, the first team outside the relegation zone.
