Spacer’s Toulouse: Lohan Nack-Myniem in accelerated mode
The young Toulouse central (21) takes advantage of the circumstances to chain matches with the Spacer’s. And confirms the promises that accompany his early career.
Since last season, everything has been going very fast for Lohan Nack-Myniem. “He was fourth central last year, he moved up to third at the start of the season and with Luiz Sené’s injury he is now a starter,” summarizes Patrick Duflos with a smile. Hit in the ankle during the first day in Cambrai (1-3) the Brazilian could be absent until the end of October and the new Toulouse coach only has Lohan (1m99, 80kg) and Bulgarian Nikolay Kartev (27 years old, 2m04, 98 kg) for his two starting positions.

Central very offensive, he “still lacks a little vice in the block” believes Duflos, which the player admits himself by estimating that he “must progress in the reading of the game”. “He held his place well”, was still satisfied the Toulouse technician after his first tenure last weekend against Nice (3-1). An eight-point match (3 counters and 5 attacks) that he had the pleasure of experiencing with William, his twin brother, also central but… in the opposite camp! “It was a real treat. We got a little roomed on each side of the net and I hope we can experience that again soon,” smiled Lohan. Quick, he knows how to…
