You’ve been following the crazy story of Florent Indaleciowith an atypical background, and who arrived at Haillan with the desire to help the Girondins de Bordeaux, and not to scrape together a few euros. The former Newcastle reserve player, trained at Saint-Etienne, took a night Flixbus to join Bordeaux on a whim, and waited around all week, waiting for just his chance. He tells this to Le Parisien.
“I put down my bag and suitcases, a lady asked me if I was looking for someone and I asked to speak to the coach, Erwan Lannuzel. I wanted to be there, to do a trial or even sign. I wanted to understand the situation of the club, to offer them my services. I then went there three or four mornings, I met several people like the coach or Jimmy Briand, but everyone is in the dark. No one understands why there are no players on trial, why things are not moving. I have not had any response.”
His approach, which may seem both courageous and opportunistic, has not yet come to fruition. However, he was surprised not to see other players doing the same thing as him. “I was surprised that I was the only one who came to the training center like that. Because a guy without a club, who is hungry, who wants to play, he has to figure out how to get an opportunity for this season.”
Today, the attacking player did indeed have John Williams on the phone, with whom he spoke at length. Unfortunately, the current sporting director, who came to lend a helping hand to his favorite club, has not yet given him the opportunity to show his qualities. However, there was one that was already obvious: perseverance.
