Laurent Brun: “We need offensive players, like Yanis Merdji, to do even more”

In Bordeaux Le Mag, the journalist Laurent Brun explained that the Girondins de Bordeaux will have to find other offensive solutions than Andy Carroll in the coming matches, so as not to be too dependent.

“We have to find solutions. We have Malick Seck who has a large profile, who can also play like that. We have players like Soufiane Bahassa who was a substitute, Noah Ramon… The side defenders who go up and cross, like on the decisive pass from Driss Trichard on the left side… We need players with an offensive vocation, like Yanis Merdji, in do even more. It’s hard because they arrive, and you have to integrate into this collective. It will come. There was a bit of a shortage in terms of attackers, but the colleagues around Andy Carroll, alongside or in support, need to get into tune. It’s complicated to get in tune with a player who has worn the jersey of the three English lions… We are in National 2 and we also have players at that level today, even if they have played more high previously. But the technical staff also said it, the boys next door need to get up to speed quickly because we will need everyone, and we won’t be able to rely only on Andy Carroll all season, even if we hope he does the job and doesn’t get hurt.”
