AS Nancy-Lorraine, currently 16th in Ligue 1 and just one point above the relegation zone, faces a challenging battle for survival. Amidst this struggle, Benjamin Moukandjo, the Cameroonian striker, has become a key figure in Nancy’s bid to avoid relegation. With four goals in the last seven matches, Moukandjo has played a crucial role in Nancy’s recent form.
Previously, Moukandjo had a relatively quiet first half of the season, with only one goal to his name during a defeat against Bastia (4-2). However, the second half has seen him rise to prominence. Having experienced the agony of relegation with AS Monaco two years ago, Moukandjo is determined not to go through that ordeal again.
Reflecting on the impact of relegation, Moukandjo said, “I saw guys crying. These are things we don’t want to relive.” Understanding the broader implications of football as both a sport and a business, especially in supporting families, Moukandjo emphasizes the significance of avoiding relegation for AS Nancy-Lorraine.
