True thrill player, Edon Zhegrova is capable of unblocking a situation with a stroke of genius. The LOSC winger can sometimes also fall into certain faults which make him a player who still needs to progress to aim higher according to Olivier Létang. Explanations.
Edon Zhegrova, a talent that remains to be polished
Genius for some, annoying player for others, Edon Zhegrova leaves no one indifferent. Starting with its president, Olivier Létang, who spoke about it during his appearance on the show After Foot, Wednesday evening. “ Edon is a very good guy, who has incredible talent. I remember the first exchange we had before he came to our house. I told him we weren't going to teach him how to dribble. He has a gift for dribbling. On the other hand, there are a whole bunch of things, if you want to go to the highest level. »
« The collective project? It's what. How do I connect with others? Am I coming to defend? If you don't have these qualities, it doesn't work, asserts Létang. Second, you need to have consistency. The big clubs will look for players who, in all matches, will have a high level of performance. » However, the Kosovar international still has progress to make in this area according to the president of LOSC.
LOSC, an ideal framework for progression
« I remember, we had a discussion with Edon after the match in Le Havre last year. We lead 2-0 at half-time, he had scored an extraordinary goal and made an assist. In the second half, he did anything, remembers Olivier Létang in the show After Foot. The very big players who are in the very big clubs, when they score two goals, they want the third then the fourth, constantly. »
Judging that he did not yet have this maturity, the president of LOSC decided to close the door to a departure last summer: “Edon, I said it at a press conference in July when he had said a little awkwardly that he wanted to leave, that he would not leave because he was not yet ready to go to a very large club. He's doing some interesting things, but he can still improve. When I talked about consistency, it is in all matches that he must perform very well. » Will it be the same next June?
