All-round player in the left lane of LOSC, Mitchel Bakker believes he is driven by a collective dynamic which he intends to maintain during the trip to Montpellier, Sunday (3 p.m.) on the occasion of the 13th day of Ligue 1.
LOSC so efficient, a surprise?
“I was not at all surprised by the level of the team, quite the contrary. Coming here, I knew there was collective and individual quality. We remain on a very good run, with three months without defeat. It builds confidence. For each match, we fight to keep this dynamic. We are in the right direction, we must keep it. »
Satisfying play time?
“Obviously, as a player, you want to play every match. However, it's not in our hands, it's the coach's decision. He makes changes, adapts his strategy according to the men at his disposal. This is a normal process in football. Being in the starting lineup all the time is not possible. As for the substitutes, we see that they bring something when they come on, with the ability to make the difference in matches. I hope that the injured will return quickly to bring something extra to the team. Personally, I'm happy to be here and to bring as much as possible to the team. It's always the best feeling for a professional player. »
His connection with Matias Fernandez-Pardo
“In Nice, things went well between us. We had a good connection on the ground. It was seen. We both scored, it's a very good thing. Matias is a player who has a lot of qualities, even if he remains a young player with potential. He is very fast, he has a good right foot. I think we will see even more at the end of the season, that he will score many more goals. »
