City, State/Country: Lorient, France
Omo, dis FC Lorient dey waka for serious wahala as dem enter dis Ligue 1 season. Dem don start the season with wetin dem fit call ‘big slap’, with last weekend dem lose one game 7-1 to Lille. Chai! Na wetin dem dey call football be dis?
After dem take serious beating from Marseille too, you fit just wonder if the Merlus go ever see light again. With only three points from four matches, dem dey sit for 16th position, and that position dey sweet like bitter leaf soup (no be anybody go wan dey play for bottom table).
Wetin make matter worse be say, dem get the worst defense for the league. Dem don collect twelve goals like say na xmas gift. Omo, dem defenders need to wake up, e no go make sense if dem dey give away goals like dat.
And now, next match dey come against The Havre, who dey also no too shine. Last time wey Lorient win dem na for 2019. If dem no shine their eyes, dem fit suffer another wahala ’cause The Havre don get small morale since dem beat Nice last week. E be like say dem inspiration don come back like old tv series.
Coach Oga Olivier Pantaloni dey sweat well well now as he need to joggle the team. E get some players wey suppose shine like diamonds but under pressure, some dey just turn to ‘wood’. Omo, we dey watch as dem go handle the situation.
Fans self dey vex for the team. We fit just imagine say dey don use spirit of football to beg dem. Dis na serious matter wey sabi pass small gist o. Until dem fit tackle the morale of the team, dis wahala no go end.
And as we dey talk, dem club still dey plan to strengthen the team before the transfer window close. Dis season no gree hard for dem. Na only God fit save them if dem no fit deliver. Abeg, give us good football, no be dis one wey dey pain heart.
Lovers of Ligue 1, take heart, because wahala dey for ground and FC Lorient dey try navigate through the storm. Na so football be, sometimes e be like roller coaster. Wetin we go just do be say make we grab our popcorn, settle down, and watch as dem attempt to turn dis ship around.
