Papy Leye (Châteaubriant): “We would like him not to play”

The Girondins de Bordeaux will finally be able to play at the Matmut Atlantique / Stade René Gallice, against Châteaubriant, for their fourth match of the season (with two games in hand) this Saturday. And it could be that the Club with the Scapular will be reinforced by the former Liverpool striker, an England international nine times: Andy Carroll.

In Ouest-France, the coach of the Voltigeurs de Châteaubriant, Grandpa Leyeraised the possibility of seeing – if the documents are submitted on time and the registration of his license is effective – Andy Carroll face his team.

“That adds a bit more spice to the affair (laughs). He’s a physical monster with a very particular style of play. We’d like him not to play. But if he’s there, we’ll deal with it! Everyone’s excited. During our match against Bourges, Moussa Konaté was there. He may have less of an aura than Andy Carroll but he’s a great player (he was top scorer at the London Olympics in 2012 with 5 goals, editor’s note). With the tightening of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 championships to 18 clubs, there are more and more players from the professional world in National 2 because there are players on the market.”
