A rather skillful left-hander. Even if against Châteauneuf, the evening ended badly for his team (0-2), which, once again, showed clumsiness, Yannis Sankoutcha showed that he could contribute his left side.
Fast, with a good left foot, the winger delivered an encouraging performance, regularly gaining the upper hand over his opposite number. “I managed to wear down my defender in the first half and felt better in the second half. » Efforts rewarded at the 57e by obtaining a penalty, unfortunately not transformed by Maxence Toutain.
Third match only
Like his teammates, the young Togolese knows that he still needs to work on his efficiency: “I need to improve my positioning in the box to be able to finish the chances. It's the same for the team. We are good in possession but the lack of confidence means we don't finish. We need to work more on our runs, frame our shots…”
Arriving at the end of September via Ernest Kehound, Yannis Sankoutcha missed a large part of the preparation and only played three matches.
The sequences with left-back Pierre Daniel show that he should quickly find his place in the Vinolien collective. “We talk to each other all the time, especially with Pierre. The automation is starting to take hold, and today, we combined it quite well. »
Insufficient to break the Châteauneuf barrier but promising for the future: “He has interesting athletic and elimination qualities, recognizes his trainer Kévin Mulard. His integration is good but he still needs to understand the game project. He can do better. »
Togolese international U23
Winner of a young footballer's trophy in Togo at the age of 14, Yannis Sankoutcha was able to come for a week of training at the Olympique Lyonnais center to discover French football. Back two years ago, he started his career at Moulins Yzeure where he played a few matches in N2 then a season in N3 last year.
After being a Togolese international in U17, Yannis Sankoutcha had his first selection in U23 in January in Dubai. “I hope to be in the next selection. » The best way to get there will be to show off with Vineuil.
