After all, it was only natural that the trophy should fall into his hands. Nominated for the title of revelation of the year during Rugby Night, Théo Attissogbe was still in competition with two other stars of French rugby: Paul Costes and Mathis Castro-Ferreira.
Just that. A starter in the Champions Cup final, the other author of 15 tries last season. It is therefore obvious that Théo Attissogbe is not a boy like the others. This summer he also embarked for Argentina and had his first two capes with the Blues, for as many tries.
Grandidier/Attisogbe/Maddocks: Will Pau have the craziest rear triangle in the Top 14?
It must be said that in addition to being an interesting finisher, the bouncing ball from the Paloise Section understands rugby really well. Better than that, he exudes it: “it’s an intuitive one. He reads the game, he has tactical sense and he decides quickly and well“,
explained the man who rubbed shoulders with all the greatest young French talents of the last decade, Sébastien Piqueronies, at Midol.
Because beyond his aberrant speed qualities which he showed in his test last weekend by resisting Dakuwaqa in the race, Attisogbe is a gifted man who Pau had trained with the pros from the age of 17. Almost 20 (he will celebrate them as soon as possible), his trainer now wants a lot more.
“I want it at the crossroads of multiple decisions. Are you telling me about its speed? He has many other advantages. In a cell, he can also play the role of animator. I am well equipped with number 10 but in the future, it is not excluded that he could be used in the opener position.“As Cheslin Kolbe, Juan Cruz Mallia and Blair Kinghorn did before him.
Still an indisputable holder despite competition from Maddock, Luc or Grandidier in the back triangle, the kid seems to have the future ahead of him. A bit like his generational friend, Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
