Lamine Diack (Nantes): “It’s a kid’s dream”

Lamine Diack (22) and Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel, the club’s first two recruits, were presented at the start of the afternoon by FC Nantes, this Friday. The first, a defensive midfielder from Ankaragücü (Turkish D1), will discover Ligue 1.

“It’s a childhood dream to play in this kind of club,” said the Senegalese, who rather supported Marseille in his youth. My goals are to reach the highest level. When they (the Nantes leaders) called me, I didn’t even hesitate. »

“We needed a slightly different profile, added Pierre Aristouy, his trainer. Lamine is a youngster that I have watched a lot, who filled all the boxes of the different player, by his ability to be in contact, to be hard on the man, while having a sober and effective relationship with the ball. It has this other necessary characteristic of gaining meters by driving, racing. »

Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (25), he hopes to relaunch in Ligue 1, where he had already been loaned twice by Mainz (Brest, Strasbourg) before his transfer to the Canaries. “I wanted to come back to France, I jumped at the chance,” explained the right side, who doubles the position occupied by Fabien Centonze.

The two rookies are expected to enter the second half this Saturday, for FCN’s last friendly match in Cologne, a week before the start of their season against Toulouse.
