FC Nantes travels to Lille on behalf of the 2nd day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (1 p.m.). Here is the probable composition of the Canaries.
It is in a very tense context that FC Nantes will face Lille this Sunday. After a setback against his pet peeve, Toulouse, during the curtain raiser (1-2), the formation of Pierre Aristouy is already at the foot of the wall. For several days, the technician has been the subject of many rumors. His position would be weakened, and a setback in the North could prompt Waldemar Kita to change coach very early in the season.
Aristouy, however, did not disassemble at a press conference. The young technician claims his legitimacy after saving the club last season. “I want to consider that it doesn’t make sense, given the trust that was granted to me a short time ago”he launched, while he is still under contract for two seasons.“I am touched by the rumors which already nail me to the pillory. It’s premature! It is hardly possible to do otherwise if you want to destabilize a group and a coach.
A remodeled 11 against Lille
Still, the Canaries coach could reshape his eleven to try to make a move in the North. Nantes clearly approach this match with an outsider status. The FCN could present themselves in a different tactical animation, with a more classic 4-3-3 scheme after the 3-5-2 used against Toulouse. Winger Marquinhos, who arrived this summer, is tipped to start, while Mohamed should continue on the front of the attack.
The expected composition of Nantes : Descamps – Centonze, Zeze, Pallois, Meupiyou – Douglas Augusto, Chirivella – Marquinhos, Mollet, Merlin – Mohamed.
