He could have become the man for the job by scoring against RC Lens last night, but unfortunately, he became the number 1 target. The day after a defeat is difficult to digest, but for FC Nantes supporters, waking up must have been very sad. Yesterday evening at the end of 90 minutes, the FCN lost to Lens, a victory synonymous with their descent into Ligue 2. The Nantes residents have nothing left to play because they are 5 points behind the play-off place occupied by Auxerre… and there is only one day of the championship left.
But among the players who have disappointed this season, the name of Matthis Abline often comes up. The one who should have been the centerpiece of FC Nantes this season was far too discreet. In 32 matches, the Canary has scored only 6 small goals. For comparison, Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé scored 10 league goals in 13 games less.
But on social networks and more precisely on Instagram, it is his girlfriend who comes to his defense, recalling that many people have forgotten everything he was able to do for FC Nantes.

“My love, don’t let anyone make you believe that you are responsible for all of this. People forget too quickly everything you have given for this club over the past 3 years. They forget the sacrifices, the never-failed training sessions, the moments when you played slightly injured, tired, under pressure, without ever giving up. Yes, you missed an opportunity. But a match, a season, a descent, it is not based on a single action or on a single player. It’s just easier to point the finger at an attacker. Above all, I see someone who has always fought for this jersey, who gave everything until the end, in good times and in bad. You had some great matches, you brought a lot to this team, and no one can take that away. I’m proud of you, no matter what anyone says. And those who criticize you today don’t know half of what you’ve been wearing for years.”
