Yanis Merdji: “I am professional, I also know how to be aware of my matches”

The one who gave victory to the Girondins de Bordeaux thanks to his double, Yanis Merdjireacted to the famous “click” mentioned and provoked by his coach Bruno Irles.

“We talked about it the day before with the coach, and he told me that he was trying to trigger something in terms of confidence, all that… I think that today it’s done. I hope that this is something that will be able to launch my season in the championship, and that we will be able to continue with good results. And for me, keep this efficiency that I had today.”

It obviously did something to him to start the match against Saint-Pryvé on the bench…

“What if it hurt me to be a substitute? No, I kind of expected that. Last week, I had a slightly more complicated match where I didn't necessarily touch a lot of balls, where it was a little harder for me, so there you go… I'm professional, I also know how to be aware of my matches, so I expected it. Afterwards, the best answer is definitely the field. I was good this week, I scored a lot of goals in training, so I think today it was the work of the whole week that paid off. And the coach's confidence… The fact of having spoken with him yesterday was something that also felt good. Now, we are looking forward to the next matches to come, and we will hope to keep this confidence and continue to move forward.”
