Pierre Bouby: “If you look at his three D passes, it's one between the goalkeeper and the defenders and two behind. And that's the reflection of a right-back”

In The Shock Team, Pierre Bouby,

consultant, returned to the great performance of Jules Koundé with the FC Barcelona in the Champions League. The former player trained at Girondins de Bordeaux delivered three assists during the 2-5 victory at Red Star Belgrade.

« If he's in the shape of his life? Yes, and where I find that he has progressed enormously is in relation to his first center. This is the exact area that someone who is on the side and who is crossing should look for. This ability to put the ball there, he didn't have it at all before. If you look at his three D passes, it's one between the goalkeeper and defenders and two behind. And that’s the thinking of a right-back. Before he scored, he tried to look for players to head and cut the trajectory. There it only searches for areas. I think he has made a lot of progress on that. I'm not talking about his defensive side because he's always been pretty good. But here, we are almost on a professional right-back now. If we hope to see that in the French team? Maybe. It proves that he knows how to cross, that’s good. He's making progress there. »
