Claude Puel believes that ASSE made a bad decision by letting Yvan Neyou go shortly after his departure from Forez.
Still without a club since his departure from ASSE on December 6, 2021, Claude Puel spoke to Foot Mercato during a subject on Yvan Neyou, a player he had recruited from the Greens, today holder at Leganes, promoted to La Liga.
“Our meeting is the result of a particular story. Yvan missed out on the circuits, I knew his representative when he was in the Braga reserve team, confided Puel. I was shown images and I found it interesting with great qualities. If you like the game, players like Yvan make you love football, and not just physical players, who are too privileged today. The Coupe de France final was the turning point, it was extraordinary and astonishing because no one really knew his level. I brought him in at 10 against 11, and he played with personality, put the team back in the right direction, even put a little bridge to Neymar. »And for the former Monegasque to add…
« Yvan is a talented player, a great player”
“I find it a shame that ASSE, after my departure, did not believe in him given the level he displayed. He formed a nice doublet with Mahdi Camara, today in Brest. Best friends in everyday life, and players on whom Saint-Étienne did not count, and when we see their level today, it's a shame. There's no problem seeing him succeed, I'm not surprised at all. In the offseason, there were La Liga clubs on him. He has the talent to join a bigger club. Yvan is a talented player, a great player. »
