FC Nantes will be able to count on an experienced player for the rest of its season in Ligue 1.

He’s an immediate reinforcement who almost looks like a rookie. Moussa Sissoko had almost disappeared from the radar during the first phase, in Ligue 1. But the appointment of Jocelyn Gourvennec to replace Pierre Aristouy on the Canaries bench has completely revived the French international. “Over the last few meetings, I feel better. I’m gaining strength. It’s up to me to continue to raise my level of play“, had launched the main interested party to the press before the match at the Parc des Princes.

Nantes will need Sissoko’s experience and athletic impact to turn things around this season. “What does Moussa Sissoko bring? He had trouble at first. But I think the match against Le Havre did him good. It allowed him to regain good sensations, explained Gourvennec. I think he showed a very good level, whether against Le Havre or against Nice where he went up a notch again. He needs to get his good feelings back. »

Experience and intelligence

He is a very experienced and very intelligent player, with whom we can talk football, continued the Nantes coach. And that is very valuable for me, the staff and especially its partners. He brings a lot to training sessions, he understands everything, because he has a lot of experience having played in big clubs and in the French team. We see it when he advises the youngest. These are small details but it’s the experience that speaks. » With the former French international, the Canaries will perhaps have the best reinforcements for the rest of this campaign.
