During the last international break, Edon Zhegrova was dismissed by his federation. The Kosovar international would have adopted inappropriate behavior. A few weeks later, the Lille resident took advantage of a press conference to set the record straight.
Effective this season, Edon Zhegrova was unable to take advantage of his form in the selection. The Kosovar international was part of the gathering during the truce at the beginning of the month. But the LOSC winger was fired by his federation. The cause, according to the first rumors, was a night out deemed unsuitable. However, this is not the version of the Lille resident who spoke this Thursday at a press conference.
Zhegrova restores the truth
“ It’s not a secret. It’s nothing. I was just late for a meetingcorrected the former FC Basel player. It was not the coach who made the decision, it was the federation. That’s why I was a little angry. There are some people who don’t like you and they try to say bad things about you. I know how professional I am and after seeing reports that I was out on a night out… That’s not what I would do because if I were to go out everyone would know and there would have been pictures. »
“ It’s just false information, but I think the worst is that it wasn’t the coach who made the decision, it was the federationinsisted Edon Zhegrova. When you’re late for a meeting, I think it’s up to the coach to make a decision. But it’s over, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. » If the right winger was able to turn the page, it is also thanks to the support of his coach at Lille Bruno Genesio.
“ I have a very good relationship with the coach. He talks to me every day. He’s trying to help me, it’s important to me. Not just him but the entire staff. He knows me, he knows that I’m professional and that I don’t do that kind of thing. All that happened was I was late for a meeting. But that doesn’t mean you’re not professional. I have a very good relationship with him and I am very happy », rejoiced the Mastiff, author of six goals this season in all competitions.
