The atmosphere at the Hainaut stadium turned tense after Valenciennes suffered a heavy defeat against Nantes (2-6), leaving them on the brink of relegation. Following the match, dozens of frustrated supporters confronted the players outside the stadium, leading to a heated exchange with Jean-Christophe Bahebeck. The striker, who scored in the game, reacted angrily to criticism from one of the fans, using inappropriate language.
Bahebeck later took to Twitter to apologize for his behavior, acknowledging that his response was unacceptable and could tarnish the image of the club and football in general. He emphasized the importance of the supporters’ continued support, especially given the team’s challenging situation in the league.
With just four matches remaining in the season, Valenciennes finds themselves six points adrift of safety, and the club is facing increasing turmoil both on and off the pitch. The remainder of the season is shaping up to be a difficult period for Valenciennes.
