Far from Ligue 1, FC Nantes begins the beating drum season, and even its young people show the way. For the 3ᵉ day of the French U17 Championship, the Canaries crushed their rivals from Stade Rennais on their own land (1-6).
The first derby for FC Nantes! In this always special match, young Canaries showed formidable efficiency and higher intensity to atomize the U17s of Stade Rennais. The Red and Black, yet known for the quality of their formation, were completely overwhelmed, unable to contain the yellow and green furia. This broad success takes on a particular flavor: humiliating the honored neighbor remains a significant performance, regardless of age or context.
Beyond the simple result, this victory illustrates the positive dynamic which seems to surround FC Nantes at the start of the season. The training runs at full speed, young people shine, and this strong sign may well inspire the first team in Ligue 1. while the Canaries seek to settle in a positive spiral, see the next generation dominate Rennes with such authority can only eat general confidence in the club.

What if he announced a season when FC Nantes, all categories combined, approaches each meeting with the desire to make an impression?
