Valenciennes Striker Majeed Waris Reflects on Fans’ Anger After Humiliation Against Nantes
Valenciennes’ hopes of avoiding relegation to Ligue 2 took a massive blow after their 2-6 defeat to Nantes on Sunday. The heavy loss has stirred frustration and anger among the club’s supporters.
Majeed Waris, Valenciennes’ striker, who is currently sidelined with an injury, took to Twitter to express his understanding of the fans’ discontent. “I know that feeling. I almost cried myself after the match,” said the 22-year-old Ghanaian, who has scored nine goals in 13 starts this season. Despite the team’s dire situation, Waris still believes in the possibility of survival.
Currently six points adrift of the first non-relegation team, Guingamp, Valenciennes faces a crucial match on Saturday against the same side at Roudourou. For the club, winning this encounter is essential not only for survival in Ligue 1 but also for mending the fractured relationship with their passionate supporters.
