FC Nantes, currently fifteenth in Ligue 1, is facing a challenging period after slipping from eighth place in January to dangerously close to the relegation zone. This decline has been ongoing for more than two months, causing concern among supporters. Birama Touré, speaking on the club’s official website, acknowledges the team’s difficult situation and emphasizes the need for collective effort to overcome it.
Touré highlights the recent match against Lille, where defensive solidity was evident, particularly with Koffi Djidji and Lucas Deaux in central defense. He praises the offensive players for their efforts to support the defensive line and emphasizes the importance of regaining the team’s defensive mindset from earlier in the season.
As an integral part of the team under coach Michel Der Zakarian, Touré emphasizes the urgency of returning to winning ways to secure their position in the top flight for the next season. Despite considering a point against Lille as a positive result, Touré acknowledges that other teams’ victories have tightened the relegation battle. With nine matches remaining, he believes that securing two more wins and picking up points from other matches will be crucial for FC Nantes to ensure their survival in Ligue 1.
