Stade de Reims will record the arrival of FC Nantes goalkeeper Kinga Szemik. The one who will be 25 on June 25 told our colleagues at West France in an article published this Friday, June 10. “I’m sad to leave, Nantes will always be special to me. I wasn’t promised the number one job but I know what I have to do. » She then confirmed it to Nantes supporters on the FC Nantes Family group, commenting on the sharing of information from our colleagues. “Thank you for your support throughout the season.” In the Marne, she will compete with the Mexican Emily Alvarado, who finished the season with a bang and which will still evolve in the city of coronations in 2022-2023.
Leading the best defense in D2
The departure of Nantes, for the one who is number three in the hierarchy of goalkeepers in the Polish selection, is also motivated by “a request from the Polish selection, explains Jacky Soulard, president of the FC Nantes Association interviewed by West France. In order for Kinga to play at a higher level, otherwise she risked being ousted from the selection. » The Stadium will not complain because it will recover the one who has established herself as one of the best in her position in D2. Charlotte Lorgeré’s partners, who did not manage to hang on to the climb by failing to a small point from Le Havre in group A – the toughest – have indeed only conceded 12 goals and she has something to do with it, participating in all 22 league matches.
Studies in the United States
Native of Krakow, in the south of Poland, Kinga Szemik (1.80 m) studied in the United States, at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. She had been playing in Loire-Atlatique since the start of the 2020-2021 season. The Pole will not really discover Reims since she was part of the Nantes group which came to create the surprise on March 6, in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France (0-0, 0-3 on penalties). That day, she remained on the bench.
