Vakoun Bayo, the awakening of the Elephant
A bit like his teammates last Thursday, Vakoun Bayou really went through the meeting like a ghost. This Sunday in Nantes, the Ivorian delivered a completely different performance. Stirring and fair in his decisions, he posed a lot of problems for a local defense much less serene than three days ago. He was rewarded with a goal (62nd), which completely revived the game. His header after a cross from the right gave Téfécé hope. Finally, he will not see Ligue 1 next season, at least not with the Toulouse jersey.
Ludovic Blas, a cut above everyone else
A talent that leads us to think that he should not play the maintenance. If he did not score, the left-hander still survived in this meeting. Especially since his teammates were much less lively than last Thursday when Nantes had marched on Toulouse. Like his magnificent roulette, which eliminated two Toulouse players (22nd), his technique and his game intelligence make him a formidable offensive player. Many formations should look into his case during the next transfer window. Superior player.
Antoine Kombouaré, Nantes savior
Even if he lost, Antoine Kombouaré managed the feat of saving FC Nantes.
An almost impossible mission while the club is mired in a crisis between supporters and leaders.
When he took over from Raymond Domenech's as short as it was catastrophic mandate, the Canaries' chances of keeping the Canaries were almost nil.
The former Toulouse coach signed a great feat with his club at heart, in only fourteen meetings.
Flops
Charles Traoré, against the grain
The symbol of FC Nantes much less attractive and domineering than last Thursday. The Nantes side did not really reassure his defense. Whether in the placement or in his initiatives with the ball, it was often very limited. It did not cost FC Nantes a goal in the first period but it did not help to ensure a certain form of serenity in the Canary ranks. His second period was more serious and less awkward, even if Amine Adli's decisive cross comes from his side.
Rhys Healey, too little weight
The Welshman suffered from the comparison with his attacking friend, Vakoun Bayou.
If the Ivorian has been excellent, Healey can not really boast of such a record.
He never managed to worry the Nantes defense, or almost.
He was quite clumsy and rarely in the right places.
An instinctive player, he sometimes had a few inspirations but nothing very dangerous for Alban Lafont and the local rearguard.
