Yanis Merdji gives the reasons for his first two complicated months at the Girondins

After the match and on Forever, the Girondins de Bordeaux striker, Yanis Merdjilooked back on his success, scoring a double against Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilaire. If he had already scored in the Coupe de France, it was slow to materialize in the championship. So, what are the explanations for his first months? There are several.

“I think that already, physically, I was not ready. Currently, I think I'm not ready yet either. It had been since February that I hadn't played, so obviously, replaying matches and doing 90-minute matches was something that I had missed, so I didn't necessarily have the bearings. Today, it’s a team that’s brand new too, so we don’t necessarily have the benchmarks.”

Then, there is a second, which he had already mentioned at the end of a match where he was number 9.

“I also have a position that is different from the position I usually play. Usually, I really play number 9, here I play a little lower, so I have more races to do, I start from lower. I think it’s a whole thing.”

In any case, for the rest…

“It’s work, and it will happen little by little.”
