The wait was long and anxiety was starting to mount. Paris FC had not won since November 1 (1-0 in Monaco) and had slipped dangerously in the standings. But, internally, everyone remained calm. Coach Stéphane Gilli was comforted by his managers and shareholders.
Six days after the feat against PSG in the Coupe de France, this match in Nantes appeared to be a pivotal moment of the season. The one who could turn everything one way or the other. Maxime Lopez and his teammates were present at the meeting. They ended their incredible week with a capital success for maintenance, moving up to 13th place and pushing Nantes (16th and play-off) to five points. In a season, there are inevitably moments that matter more. This 3rd week of January, with these two successes, changes a lot of things for the promoted Parisian.
